| l.. A. W., which was brought to a
| close here this evening, was in every
way a big success, and, although
most Of the visiting cyclists have
left for their homes, there were near
| ly 1900 people at the athletic grounds
| this afternoon while the final races
We're contested. 1t was the most per-
feet day that has favored the meet
| ing. The afternoon racing began at
| the final Of the two-mile handicap,
| Class B, which was postponed from
| last Saturday on account of the
| storm. 1t was won by the ST. Paul
boy, B. B. Bird. Eddie Bald was on
scratch, and Barnett and Coburn got
| $50 yards. Bald dropped out in the
| third lap. The leading bunch fin
ished, Bird, Barnett, Barry and Co.
burn, strung out a length apart,
and the others came in sitting up
The first prize for this race was a
horse, harness and carriage, valued
at $400. Soon after he had won the
st. Paul boy jumped into the car
riage, and, after lifting his wheel,

amid cheers. In the third heat of
the one-mlie open, Glass B. event,
Arthur Gardiner, of Chicago, cut out
the pace for the entire mile On the
| back stretch in the last lap Maddox
made a strong effort to reach the
leader, and finally Tapped GARDENERS
wheel, but the pace was too hot for
him, and he dropped back to fifth
place, Gardiner winning, with Bird
second.
The final was a slow race, for
which the track more than any
thing else, was responsible. At the
start Zeigler set the pace, McDon-
aid trailing and Gardiner and Ken
nedy fighting for third place. On the
back stretch Gardiner jumped to
the front. Mcleod held Gardeners
wheel to the tape, getting second
with Titus third. The two-mile open,
Glass B, final, was a loafing game
Coming to the last turn, Maddox
and Titus sprinted and fought it out
on even terms to the finish. Titus
won by a few inches. Harry Maddox
was to have tried for the five-mile
record with pace-makers, but he
claimed to be physically unable to
undertake the test. Fred Titus took
the place of Maddox, and made the
distance in 1922 3-5, equaling the rec
ord. AS this was accomplished on
a slow track it was a remarkable
performance.
