THE CYCLE RACES.
Second and Last Day of the Tourna-
 ment

Tucson Star: The weather was too cold for fast time. Notwithstanding this several close and exciting finishes were run in the most important races
 The first race of the day was the two-third mile championship. To ac- celerate the pace, Kibbey and Lowell rode on tandem. Brown received a fine start and caught the tandem, and Coppell and Kilt were soon distanced After the tandem pulled out on the back stretch Brown won, with Coppell second and Kilt third. Time, 1:35.
 Considerable local interest was cen tered in the juvenile two-third mile mile handicap. Lee Orndorff and Charlie Stout were on the scratch, Percy Cooper 30 yards, Tommie Hayes 45 yards and Roy Rrake 60 yards Orndorff won easily in 2:O11a; Stout second; Cooper third.
 "A lap race is always a man killer" and one half the riders who had en- tered in this race did not start. Kib- bey and Long, of Phoenix, and Hart well and Saver, of Tucson, lined up for the start. Kibbey started out strong on the first lap and reached the lap first, but on The second lap gave place ito HartWeH, who was never headed after that. Long ran second in every Tap but the first, scoring II points to Hartwell's IS. The other riders were dis,anced. The finish between Hart well and Long was close and exciting. Time, 5:131a.
 The Pacific coast record for one mile tandem, flying start unpaced, for Class B, was found to be 2:19 Referee Pinney thought the conditions favora- ble for securing this record for the Tucson track, and Slater and Johnson gotiated the mile in 2i17, thus clipping off two seconds from the record made by Long and Foster at Alameda, Cal, October 1, 1894.
 Unquesionably the race of l.he day and of the meet was the one mile tan dem. Two teams competed for the fine prizes offered, Kibbey and Lowell guarding the honors of Phoenix and Hartwell and Cooper representing Tucson. A pleasant diversion from the disgraceful loaf of the day before was the fast pace set by the Tucson boys for the entire distance. At 200 yards from the tape Kibbey and Lowell were at least five lengths behind By one of lthe grandest spurts ever wit messed they caught the other team within few feet of the tape and won by foot. The time was 2:251s. In the two-mile championship Brown received bad start and fell near the tape. He plucAily remounted his wheel and in the last lap caught his men and won the race Kibbey and Lowell were put in on tandem ito pace this race, but after their hard ride in their race previous were ex- hausted and had to drop out at the first mile. The time of the winner was 5:25; Kilt second.
 Graves, of Tucson, was the only scratch man in the five-mile handicap. No Phoenix men started. He finished first, with HartWell 60 yards) second, and Drachman (2OO yards) third. Time, 14:5O
 Many spectators had come out es- peclally to see the horse vs. the bicycle race. Eugene Thomas of Phoenix, started on wheel with the tandem team pacing him, which was changed every two miles, The horse vas also paced by other running hors s. The horse led in the first and second miles In the third the horse and wheel were even. In the fourth and fifth the wheel took the lead. The horse re- gained it in the sixth but lost it in the seventh, after which Thomas gradually increased it until the end, winning by 300 yards.
 The performance closed last night with a lantern parade, a tame flour carnival and grand smoker at
