Riverside trio made a superb spurt and
overlapped Mussey. The enthusiasm
of the spectators was tremendous, and
the Riverside "rooters" could hardly
hold themselves. Before the end of the
fifteenth mile Cox and Shoemaker had
overlapped the entire field. The men
were now all punched again with the ex-
ceptiOn of Mussey, who was a hundred
yards behind. In the sixteenth Shoe

colleagues, Riverside now being cred

his friends, took the honors for the
twenty-f1rst mile. Little Knip now took
