and while Martin passed both the 9TH
ers, and made first, Carmichael passed
Palm and held his second place. They
were all in bunch at the finish, and
had the race been run in an open
track, there might have been some
pretty cycling done in the last hun
dred yards. AS it was, however, as
soon as the place men, who finished
first, crossed the tape, they dfsmounted
and made their way back followed by
small boys and children of a larger
growth until the track at the tape was
eongested with pedestrians and ped
alers.
The result was that instead Of riding
for finish, the scratch men were
pretty busy saving their neci1s in the
crowd

GOSSIP OF THE PRIZE RING.

Paddy Purtell, the Kansas City weiterweight,
and Jimmy Ryan, the Cincinnati middle
weight have been matched for finish fight
at catch weights to take place Aug 80, within
100 miles of Kansas City. The referee. it is
said, has been agreed upon and all the details
are practically settled.
The next contest in which Lavigne viii en-
gage will be at the Empire Athletic club, Mas
peth and his opponent will be Charley Nc
Keever. This is the reason McKeever has re-
fused to meet any one since he got the de-
cision over Young Critic.

watch gotten up for the express purpose of
running slow, running say eighty seconds to
