c. c., 40 yards; A. II. Agnew, a. c. W.,
100; A G. Magary, l. G. c., 100; G. Brouil-
let, A. G. W., 100.
1t was a question whether Alexander,
who is an Eastern racer of some note,
could catch the limit men on account of
the high wind. But he not only succeeded
in this but won the heat in min. SO sec.
Agnew was second. The wind and fast
pace killed off the other two and they quit
without finishing.
The second heat brought out some fast
men. Fawcett, who was injured by fall
ing in the half-mile race, came on the track
to try again, being hardly recogniza pie be-
meath liberal covering of bandages. The
starters were:
H.F. Terrill, B. c. W., scratch; P. Met.
calf, l. C. c., 80 yards; J. J. Boree, unat-
tached, so; w. B. Fawcett, o. c. W., 50;
E. G. Barley, 1. c. c., 100; o. L. Pickard,
L. c. W, 100; A. Smith, unattached, 100
Terrill had hard game ahead of him,
trying to catch the limit men, but he went
at his task with will and caught two on
the third lap and another before the lap
was completed. But there were three more
whom he could not overtake, and they fin
ished ahead of him. Barley was first in
2 min. % 3-5 sec., Pickard second, Boree
third.
The third heat had six starters and in
cluded Mcfarland of San Jose, who is a
noted road rider, he having ridden the
fastest ten miles in the recent relay, his
time being rs min. q sec.
The starters in this heat were: F. A.
Mcfarland, S. ]. r. c., 40 yards; b. E.
Clark, G. c. c.. 100 yards; E. s; Battles, B;
c. w, 80 yards; J. S. Egan, 1. c. c., 19C
w. L. Thompson, B. c. W, 95 yards.
Egan and Holling of the Imperials took
the lead and made hot pace. Battles quit
at the start, having lost his pedals. Nc
Farland caught the leaders on the last lap
and won q good race in 2 min. % 1-5 Sec,
with Holling close second and Thompson
third.
The final of the one-mile class B scratch
was then run over again, with Foster and
Long, Olympics, and Wells, Bay City, as
starters. The same time limit as before,
2:35, was placed on the race, and to aid the
riders in making this time pace-makers
were introduced, W. A. Burke riding the
man and &. l.. Davis, it being intended
that the racers should ride the last lap I'M
paced.
Foster had the pole from the start and
kept 1t all the way, with Wells and Long
close behind. On the final lap Long
slowed up and Wells and Foster fought it
out to the finish, the latter winning by a
scant foot in min. 20 sec.
The pace-making was fast, as the time
shows, but considerable time was lost in
the exchange OF places between the PAGERS
or the time would have been much faster.
Davis, the PAGER on the fourth lap, did not
withdraw as he should have done and the
riders had to pass him on the outside.
This practically gave Foster the race, as
Wells had to slow up to get by Davis.
Then came the fourth heat OF the mile
handicap class a event. The starters
were: Z. Languetin, b. C. w, 40 Yards :
Y. N. Smith, G. G. c., 90; S. B. Vincent, B.
G. W., 100; c. Bordman, S. F. R. c., 125; ].
Jaegling, l. c. c., 125; L. G Wagner, q. c..
W., 100; B. II. Elford, A c. W., 40: A. B.
Pickard, A. C. w, 120.
The pace was very fast and Languetin
from 40 yards had some difficulty in catch
ing up with the leaders. He tired himself
out doing so and was not in it at the finish.
Vincent showed the best condition and
won the heat with room to spare, in min.
10 sec. Wagner was second, Smith third.
There were five starters in the fifth heat
and MEME, virtually the scratch man, APP
peared to be over handicapped. The riders
were: A. J. MEME, B. Q. W., 40 Yards; A
Kanzee, B. C. W., 100; W. L. Wilson. /. C..
c., 100; A. W. Kitchen, o. H. S. W., 12O;
F. Struven, c. G. c., $50.
1t was race among the limit men, and
Struyen won in min. 81 40 sec. Meme
could not catch the men handicapped over
him.
The sixth and last heat was then run,
and although the races were nearly over
the audience still remained intensely in
terested. The starters were: II. L. Day,
B. C. W., ITO yards; A. Thelsen, @. c. c.,
120 yards; c. d. Gooch, 0. II. S. W., 140
yards; A. ]. Buzard, r. c. c., 100 yards /;
J. E. Edwards, o. c. W., 60 yards; o. B..
Smith, g. C. c., 10 yards; G. Harden
brook, s. ]. r. c., 20 yards.
Edwards, with 60 yards. was the practi-
