seem to be materially in the race. Frederick

had picked for winner was hopelessly out

| finish. Considerable money changed hands,
| the betting being quite heavy for a bicycle
race Denman rode in splendid form con-
| stdering that he has had but three weeks
| training. He made over two-thirds Of the
| pace for the scratch men and had there
been any Of them willing to have set their
| share OF the pace the time prize would have
gone to scratch man, but it was. they
were all afraid of Mr.. Frederickson.
| Having heard beforehand of his wonderful CD
performances they naturally all saved them
selves for the finish To say the least
| the handicappng was rank, and had the as

| Handicapped We think it would have been
great deal more satisfactory. Taken as

The Omaha Wheel club made another Of
its good old runs last Sunday. An even

more did not turn out. However, these long
