News.
Waltham, Mass, July six thous-
and people witnessed the athletic car
nival at the track today under the
auspices of the Emmett Literary asso-
citation, and the Waltham Bicycle club.
The events We're especially noteworthy
because OF the appearance OF Johnson,
Tyler and Sanger in professional
race for 81 900, and also because af a
contest between several women for a
prize to be given TO the one having the
most approved female bicycle costume,
the latter event being the first OF its
kind ever held.
In the professional race Johnson
broke the worlds competitive record
for mile standing start. making the
distance in SO 2-5. This race was run
in two heats, Johnson winning in
200 %, finishing three lengths ahead
of Sanger, who in turn crossed the
tape about six lengths ahead of Tyler.
In the second and final heat, Tyler
foundered at the finish and threw out
Sanger Neither finishing, but John
son. following pacenakers On quad,
kept on, crossing the tape in ! :5S 2-5
amid cheers from the multitude of
spectators.
The contest for the bicycle costumes
was interesting as the verdict of the
judges has been expected TO. in a way,
decide the question of preference be-
tween sbloomers and knickerbockers
and skirts, long or short. In the
awarding of the prizes, boomers. the
closer knickerbockers and short skirts
were winners. The long skirt found no
approval. The winners in order We're:
Kittie Knox, NJ. G. Costello, both of
Boston, and l.. Kimball. Miss Knox
wore boomers, sack coat, an ordinary
bicycle cap, and CATERS. Miss Cos
tello wore a short skirt, leggings, short
coat and a straw tourist hat, and Miss
Kimball had knickerbocNers, Eaton
jacket, no CATERS, Tam OShanter hat.
Some of the women in the grand
stand showed their disapproval Of
the bloomer and knickerbocker cos
tunes by roundly Kissing their wear
