Perfect Day, Good Track and Sport
Galore.

Galore.
LOS ANGELES. Cal, May 30.-A
perfect day and a good card attracted
1900 people to Athletic park this after
noon to witness the national circuit
bicycle races The four-lap track was
in good condition and although no
very fast time was made, the finishes
were exciting in every heat. In the
third heat Of the one mile open, pro-
fessional, G. r. Coulter won his heat
easily, but was disqualified for looking
back as he crossed the tape. Coulter
won the half mile event, defeating
good field, and but for his being dis
qualified in the mile open would pro-
badly have annexed this race to his
credit. The two mife handicap proved
to be the most exciting of the day.
The scratch men overlook the limit

son finishing first by half a wheel, with
Ulbricht and Bell inches apart

lest losses have been considered and
the figures have been obtained from
persons in possession in almost every
instance of special knowledge
To this, however, must be added the
damage done to the residence property
throughout the city, which, while it will
be large, cannot in the nature of the
case, amount to as much as that done
to business property as shown above.
Viewing the situation in this light it
will be seen that 100000 should be
ample to cover the actual property
damage. This estimate has not includ-
ed the loss and damage to furniture.
This will never be known. The greater
part of the damaged furniture will be
repaired and made to suffice, especially
in the homes of the poorer classes. On
the whole, while the loss will be enor-
NOUS, it will fall most upon labor to
replace 1T, a condition not without its
encouragement for the prevention of
suffering.

CHICAGO, May 30.-The Chicago
road race, the largest cycling evenb.in
the world, in point of numbers Of par
Elephants, was run at II o'clock today
from Wheeling, 24A miles northwest,
to Garfield park, this city.
The weather was fine and about 2O0.
600 people were gathered to witness the
finishes. The riders came to the fin
ish after traversing a mile circuit,
known as the Garfield Park Loop,
where the advantages for sightseeing
were perfect. The race was won by
o. P. Nelson, member of the Monitor
Cycling club of Chicago, who had been
riding only about a year. He had been
given nine minutes in the handicap.
The second to finish was Charles La
vim of Pison Cycling club of Chicago,
who had nine minutes at the start.
Nelson's time was 1:12:56. A special
train was run from the Chicago sta
ton of the Wisconsin Central railroad
to the village of Wheeling, twenty-five
miles to the northwest, carrying OIL
Gals, racing men, bicycles and specta-
tors.
THE START
was made at exactly II o'clock, the
work of the starters being so precise
that THE SOC riders were soon on their
way without a fall or a hitch. The
classes were thirty seconds apart, and
the starts ranged from scratch up to
fifteen minutes, with which allowance

The total number of entries was 643,
and considering the rather muddy and
slow condition of the roads, the pro-
portion of starters was very large.
There had been great opposition to the
selection of the course for this year,
but the great success OF TINS year
event was such that the course will
probably remain the same next year.
Over fifty clubs were represented IN
the race and there were many riders
from outside the city, Milwaukee, Min
neaoolis, Louisville and Canada send
ing their flyers in quest OF the ROAD
prizes.
The order of finish for the first five
men were as follows:

1:12:53.

count of the doubt surrounding his
performance he is likely to be thrown

B. F. Faulhaber, of the Smalley Cy-

Der are unknown riders. Fred Nessel,
of the Columbia Wheelmen, and P. 3.
Wilson, of the Chicago Cycling club,
were the starters on scratch men. Mes
sci met with an accident and Wilson
finished in eighty-ninth place for third
time, 1:10:23 1-5. Nessel broke down
early and Wilson was compelled to ride
alone. His performance was therefore
meritoriouS.
With the exception of Wilson'S riding
the day seemed to be a waterloo for
