tlcular event or the afternoon. Inc
heats of the one mile open race for
class b, three in number. had sifted
down to the flyers" until there re-
manned Tom Cooper, of Detroit; Bald.
of Buffalo; Coulter, of Mansfield. o.;
Charley Murphy, of Brooklyn; l.. G.
Johnson, a. L. Brown, of Cleveland.
aSd A. d. Kennedy, of Chicago. When
the start was made Bald made a rush
and ''hitched on first at the rear of
the triplet that was TO do the pac-
ing. On the triplet were Citizens,
Holmes and Levy, and they ground
out warm pace from the start. Muir
ply, Cooper and Brown followed Bald
in order, but the others were killed off
almost at the start, Pretty soon Doc.
Brown gave it up and before the last
lap was fully under way, Bald was
hanging tight to the wake of the trip
let and was leaving his competitors
behind.
Going down the stretch he passed
the pace-makers and finished alone.
He Knocked one-fifth of a second off
JohnsonS Waltham time and it was
clear that he could have reduced the
record at least another second had
the pace-makers remained at the head
longer.
/ Bald was the king of the meet and
he showed himself to be peer at the
mile gait.
The fve-mile paced race for class B
brought out field of notables, among
whom the most likely were Titus. Mad
dox and Murphy At three miles the
procession had narrowed to Murphy.
Maddox. Titus and Monte Scott. the
gait having been much too warm for
Cabanne, Mcdonald and Dacey, While
Coulter and Decardy had come to-
gether in a tumble in front of the
stand. At four miles only Murphy and
Titus were really in the race, as Mad
dox had dropped out, too tired TO go
further and Scott was being distanced
by degrees.
Two laps from home Titus went
ahead of Murphy and he won easily
with no competition near him. Muir
ply continued, however. and took sec
ond and Scott came along later for
third.
The pacing was not particularly Sc
we're in this race and in reality Tyler
was the only one of the field of start
ers who showed to good advantage,
and even then he was not forced De-
yond a finish that was rather tame.
Gus Steele. the local diminutive
flyer. rode mile. paced, against time
i'm 1:55 and could have done better had
the pacing been swifter.
About 1900 people saw the races ana
aside from Bald's brilliant perIor-
nance the programme was somewhat
dull.
