ASBURY, N. J., July 1.-THE cy-
clers who have thronged this place
since the beginning of the week set
tied down to practical business TO-DAY,
after enjoying themselves by road
runs, hops and sightseeing for the last
few days. The programme was begun
in anything but promising weather,
but by 10 o'clock there were 2,G0O de-
voices of the wheel on the STANDS.
Rain drizzled uncomfortably until 3
o'clock, when the weather cleared UP,
and an enjoyable afternoons racing
was witnessed by over 5000 persons.
The first race on the programme was
for novices, class A. one mile. Inc
winner is only sixteen years old ana
has just left school. He is brother
of Mike Dirnberger, and last MONDAY
rode a paced mile in 2:09, and halI-
mile in 80. In the final heat OF the
half-mile open, class B, A. D. kenne-
dy, of Chicago, who had qualified in
the trial was debarred from riding Tor
using ungentlemanly language to the
starter and judges. The trials Tor
the two-mile national championship
were eXcellently contested and seven
men qualified for the final. When
this was run off Mayo and Saunders
paced the first mile, and the Johnson
brothers undertook to pace the see
ond, but they soon ran away from the
field and stopped opposite the stand
on the fifth lap. At the start E. kiser,
of Dayton, O., caught the tandem, foi-
lowed by Gardiner and Coulter, and
Butler and Caldwell in the rear Stow
and Terrill were soon at the back of
the bunch, but the later fell in the
first turn, and Caldwell and Stow did
not last beyond the second lap. Fisher
picked up the second tandem, with
Gardiner, Coulter and Butler in the
order named. In the fifth lap the tam
dem shot ahead In the finish Coul-
ter led around the turn, Gardiner on
his right and Butler close behind. XII
ser was last, showing signs of dis
tress. Butler sprinted and ten yards
from the finish passed Gardiner and
won by a couple of inches, while Gar
diner was the same distance in front
of Coulter. Time, 4:26. This was the
prettiest race, and until the decision
was announced the spectators were in
doubt who actually won.
BALD'S BY A YARD.
The one mile open, Class B, race was
won by Bald, of Buffalo, with F. j.
Titus second. Mayo and Saunders
paced them, and Gardiner was the
lucky man in the break for the tam
dem, Bald running up on the outside.
Titus held Gardeners wheel, with
Allen, Church and Mcdonald trailing.
At the first turn Bald took the pole.
After riding a lap Gardiner gave up,
and at the end of the race lodged a
protest against Bald for giving him
h. II
from Titus and Allen; Church and Nc
Donald finished about a yard apart, in
2:07 3-5. Racing will be resumed to-
