The bicycle meet at the new track
yesterday was a disappointment
This was due almost entirely to the
hurricane which swept over the course
during the entire meet, and which,
with men of less stamina. on the track,
would nave made the meet a total
failure. AS it was, the boys went
out, and facing the gale, made a show
ing of which they may well feel proud,
considering the disadvantages under
which they labored.
1t had been confidently expected that
Some worlds records would go down,
but the conditions put this entirely
out of the question. Then the great
event of the day, the mile invitation,
class 3, for the $3.50 diamond medal
offered by j. II. Leyson & Co, was
postponed, and Charley Evans, the
sensational finisher, was unable to APP

The track officials were the finest
set that ever officia{ed in Utah but !
they were all at sea. With such hur-
ricane blowing, it was impossible 20
say what the racers should do. hence
time limits were out of the question,
and the conditions We're such that I
much latitude was allowed the men
For instance, on the five mile class =,
handicap, Jensen, seeing that it would
be utterly impossible to oVertake the /
leading handicap men, dropped COM

third III the race. In the same event,
Weller. who had been keeping Jensen
company, saw the hopelessness of the
task, and practically dropped out but
he, too. in response to the urging of
the spectators, went around a lap or
two just TO keep the interest up, until
Referee Holden called him off, the or
