for the half mile and mile respec-

Parks, the Colorado flyer. did not
qualify for any of the events. In one
trial he had the misfortune to be
squarely pocketed, which prevented
him from getting a place. but the
man who rode at his side was. not to
blame for this, and it was in bad
taste for the Coloradoan TO abuse his
contestant.
