journeyed to Bayonne on Saturday to
witness the second series of road races
under the auspices of the Clio Wheelmen,
which were decided on the Boulevard.
with the starting and finish line in front
of Salter's Willowhaven Inn at Fifty-frst
street. Although the crowd was patient
and forbearing, it was by no means the
most tractable. The spectators persist
emily rowde on the track surrounding
the competitors at the start. and all but
surrounding them at the finish. The field
officials pleaded with them, but la vain.
The crowd was there to see the races,
and although the officials frequently
threatened to postpone the events, it
budged not. The threats of the officials,
however, were not carried out, and all
the races were run with the road swarm,
ing with humanity. In spite of these dis
~couraging conditions the meet proved a
big success from a racing standpoint.
The road was in good condition. but very
dusty. The turns, as in the first races,
made many bite the dust. Spills occurred
in nearly every event, and the uafortu-
nate ones who went down were all more
or less cut up. No serious accident oc-
CURED. however. to mar the sport. Wal
ter Roome competed with his arms
swathed in b~andages, and although he
also went down at the turns. he competed
in every event, winning places in three
events.

men were very much in evidence, they
dividing the majority of prizes among
them. C. NJ. Ertz, who entered just be-
fore the races were started. ana went on

finished second in another The race OF
