William L. Darmer. the crack cyclist
of this city, distinguished himself on
Saturday by walking away with two
prizes at the races of the Riverside
Wheelmens at the e Manhattan Beach
track. The track was in excellent con-
dition, but a strong wind made fast time
impossible. While the times of the races
were not as fast as usual the events
were well contested. Darmer's greatest
win was in the two mile handicap, Class.
A. With the crack of the pistol he
started off and remained in the lead,
although he had to pump hard on the
last lap to lane the laurels. In the one
mile scratch, Glass A, he secured third
place. In the professional events Chas.
Kluge made a poor showing. The ex-
champion has grown stale, a fact which
is deeply regretted by his many friends
in this city. Following is the

Cap Livingstn and Ritchie Petit re-
turned on Saturday evening from their
rip to Washington, D. C: Although they
lid not make the trip in record time,
hey were well pleased with the journey,
he experience gained peing valuable. On
he first days journey Petit picked up a
carpet tack at Princeton, this State, and
he puncture gave him much trouble.
After some time had elapsed he was
ready to resume the trip. Upon arriving
1t Philadelphia Petit met with another
lccident. This time the tire affiliated with
long hat pin. AS the schedule called for
/ nights stay in Quakertown. this ACCT
lent did not cause any great delay:
from Philadelphia on both. Petit and
Livingston met with a chapter of acct
tents. Punctlmes occurred regularly,
livingston at one time having as many
IS fifteen in his front tire. From Baati,
nore to Washington the roads proved
fery bad, so much so hat the return
rip over this stretch was made by train.
