races In all OF these most intense
interest was manifested by the specta

Frank Turner and Robert Wier were
the exposures Of attraction. Both are
exceptionally clever riders aud worked
hard for drst honors It wts nip and
tuck between them in every race. The
fRtes however, ses med 10 decree that
Turner should carry OF the olive wreath,
for though his competitor kept him con-
stently on the move and once or twice
made startling gain upon HIM, yet he
managed TO finish hrst IN all the conteets
whether by a length or hsif wheel.
George p. Prentiss captured FIRST prize In
he 100 yards dash and ran extremely
well in the relay race.
