FINE CYCLING AT FLUSHING
F. D. WHITE THE WINNER OF THE TWO
MILE HANDICAP

RAIN MADE THE TRACK HEAvY-suMMARIEs OF
THE CONTESTS
large crowd journeyed yesterday to the old
racetrack at Flushing called the Flushing Driving
Park to witness an excellent days racing under
the management OF the Mercury Wheel Club. All
the pretty girls OF Flushing turned out TO see the
sport.
All the contests were restricted TO amateurs, who
were mostly OF the best class. A few men OF the
neghborhood took part. Paul Grosch broke the
track record for the quarter-mile covering the
distance in thirty seconds. A drizzling rain set
in late In the afternoon and made the track heavy
which probably accounts for the defeat OF He'd
strom in the one-mile Long Island championship
W. p. McGurn won the final heat in the 2:4O class
but as Walter Scott left at the start the race
was ordered run over again. when neither Scott
nor McGurn finished the front. Such rulings
are Illegal and McGurn can get his medal II he
appeals to G. d. Gideon chairman OF the Racing
Fl D. White won the two-mlle handicap in clever
