crowded with 10000, beautiful weather
and perfect track were the conditions
at the second days racing of the l.. A
w. tournament here today.
The audience was well pleased with
the good exhibitions by the crack rid
ers and applauded them heartily.
The record-breaking was continued
from yesterday, and today they were
lowered by margins which left no
doubt as to their genuineness.
The programme was carried out to
perfectness; only one race, the last on
the programme, had any bad feature
This was the one mile open, class B,
in which j. S. Johnson appeared for
the first time during the meet The
most interest centered in the two-mile
championship-the third on the pro-
gramme-and the way the record was
lowered shows what a magnificent race
it was. Ziegler, the Californian, was
given an ovation at the close. Western
men had more luck today, and the
California racers and their friends are
Jubilant tonight over the performances
of Zeigler and Wells.
Half Mile Handicap.
The sport was started by the half
mile handicap, class B, which had ten
starters. Wells. of California, with a
handicap of 40 yards, took the lead in
the home stretch and won by wheel
from Grath, of st. Louis, who~'had 50
yards. Wells time, :55A, clips 3-5 of a
second from all previous records. Bald,
Iof Buffalo, scratch, time one minute
worlds record.
The mile open, class A, race had a
field of eleven riders. Anderson, of Hi
nois, set a hot pace after the first lap
and held his lead till well into the
home stretch on the last lap, when he
was passed by Gardner, also an Illinois
man, and Callahan, of Buffalo.
The big race of the day was the next
on the programme. A pace maker was
put in at every lap and instructed to
make it lively one. That they did
1t can be told by the fact that the rec
|ord was lowered 2-5 seconds. The
pacemakers were Coulter, Gerwing, L..
c. Johnson. AT the one mile point tt
tus, of New York, had the lead, with
Bald, of Buffalo, and Zeigler, of Cali
fornia, close up. AT a mile and a third
the pace was SO hot that the field be-
gan to string out and the famous San
ger was seen lahoring hard, almost in
the rear. He dropped out entirely in
another lap. At the beginning of the
last lap the field was scattered a quar-
ter of a mile and most of the riders
quit exhausted. j. c. Johnson was
lyn next, and Zeigler coming up fast
followed by Titus. Up the back
stretch Zeigler headed both Murphy
and the pacemaker, and won by nearly
la hundred feet, while Murphy was the
same distance ahead of Titus. Zeigler
was the only man that seemed to have
any wind left at the finish. The result

Ter being a great faV0rite here Bicy-

better had he not made his race so
early in the game.
