The best time of the day was made
in one of the class A events, the mile
open, when little Tom Butler won in
2:0S. This is a track record for a race.
The Borlo quad team, in a mile race
against time, did the distance in
1:5O 3-5, while the Syracuse team took
1:55 to cover the ground. The track
record was broken three times today.
Bald did it in 2:0T 2-5 and Dirnberger
lowered it to 2:01, but 1t remained for
the only Jimmy" to further lower it
After the last on the programme had
been decided, Arthur Augustus came
out and was greeted with cheer after
cheer. He was paced in his trial by a
quad. When he had traversed the first
third of the mile the watches registered
80 Is seconds The two-thirdS mark
was reached in lis, and he crossed the
tape which marked the mile in the eX-
cellent time of 1851 As. This is only
fOur-fifthS of a second slower imam the
fastest mile the champion ever did, and
that was accomplished on Valodrome,
Seine. Paris.
The experts say that the track here
is several seconds slower and are loud
in their praise of Zimmerman's feat.
The meetings of the committee ap-
pointed by L. A. w. and the cycle
board of trade ended tonight. Mr.. Jo-
seph Mckee, of the cycle board, said:
1.-The board of trade has Endorsed
and ratified the rules of the L. A. w.
They also have agreed to take an in
terest in increasing the leagues MEM
bership and think they can double it
within twelve months. They also have
Endorsed professionalism under the ju-
risdiction of the L. A. w and will en-
courage professional racing. This
agreement goes into effect immedi-
ately.
I'm my opinion class B will be abol-
ished and professionalism take its
place There will be but two classes
amateurs as in class A at present, and
professionals
