Fastest Men in the Country Rode at the
Meet in Springfield.

taStesI Men IN Lne country RouO "N .'-S
Meet III Springfield.
Springfield, Sept. 1.-THE closing day
of the bicycle tournament was far more
successful than the first and brought
out some riding of the most brilliant
quality. The weather was all that
could be asked, little muggy, and rath-
er too hot for the comfort of the spec
tators, but conducive to fast riding, and
the track was even better than on the
preceding day. There were about 5000
people present.
Nearly all of the fastest men in the
country rode, the most conspicuous be-
ing John S. Johnson, who was out of
condition and sat in the grand stand
nursing himself. 1t was once more a
Sanger, Bald and Newton day, these
three holding the undisputed suprema-
cy in the professional, class B and class
A races, respectively. The time was
even faster on the whole than yesterday
interesting.
AT the close six efforts were made at
| record breaking, four of which We're
successful. j. H. Gardner broke the
class A record for the paced standing
five mile, lowering it from 11:56 to 11:O3-
| 2-5. Just as he had passed the finish he
swerved onto the grass and was thrown
with frightful force against the fence,
cutting his head severely. +. j. Titus,
class B, broke the American record Of
| twenty-six miles, 1,4S9 yards for the
hour ride, which he made here last year,
| increasing it to twenty-seven miles, lS5
yards He failed, however, on account
of imperfect pacing in accomplishing his
| intention of breaking the worlds record
of twenty-eight miles, $40 yards, held
by Michel in France. ]. f. Starbuck
lowered the professional record of 1918
for the five mile paced, standing start,
| to 10:11 1-5, Fred Loughead of Sarn1a,
| Ontario, lowered the class A unpaced
| two mile, standing start, from Abb 80
| to 4:50, breaking also incidentally the
record for the flying start, 4:51 1-5. I'll.
| H Maddox made an unsuccessful at
tempt at the unpaced mile, and Hoyt
| and Casey failed to break the tandem,
class A, unpaced half mile.
There were several beautiful races
and the finish was nearly always close
In the class half mile open Cabanne's
wheel Tapped that of Bald as the latter
won. CaIbanne also made a good second
to Bald in the mile record race, which
| L. orI ~
200 3-5 for the Hampden park track
Sanger had things easily his own way
in the mile open professional race, anc
many thought that Tyler had a little
the best of it for second place, although
he and A. w. Porter We're tied by the
| judges.
In the two mile handicap all the
men were soon punched except Sanger
who was the only scratch man who
ran behind, paced by Starbuck unit
the race seemed imperilled, but aided
by good fortune he got through the rucl
on the home stretch and finished al
easy winner. In the class B mile han
dieap the winner, Harvey Davidson
of Toronto, was something of a surprise
He had seventy yards handicap, ant
got a lead early and held it strongly
unpaced to the end. One of the pref
tiest races was class A, winners race
by those who had been successful early
1t was easy to see that Newton was {
strong favorite.
The crowd was not only larger thai
that of yesterday, but vastly more en-
, thusstic, and the popular favorites wer
made much of. During the Afternoon
the great advertising balloon of tn
| Columbia company was let loose and
reward of $50 was offered for it's saf
return to Hartford. Advertising wa
more prominent this year than eve
before, and a number Of handsome ant
useful souvenirs were given away. Th
