of the racing at Newport to-day was the
wo-year-old handicap at five and one-half

WON BY THE WELSHMAN
STARBCCK DEFEATED IN THE THIR-
TY-THREE-MILE BIC Gle RACE.
The Distance Covered by Michael in
Sixty-Six Minutes and IL Quarter
His Opponent Beaten Two Miles.

NEW YORK, Aug. H.-Jimmy Michael,
the Welsh bicycle rider, easily defeated J.
Frank Starbuck, of Philadelphia in a thir-
ty-three- mile race at the Manhattan Beach
track to-day. Although Michael had the
poorer set of machines for pacemaking, his
pluck and stamina stood him in good stead,
and he finished the contest in sixty-six and
a quarter minutes, fully two miles ahead of
his American opponent. The attendance
was 1900 Both men were in perfect con-
dition A good deal of money changed
hands on the result, but the admirers of
the foreigner had to lay odds on the can
didate, and many bets were made in favor
of Michael at 100 to 80 and 100 to 70 on. Each
contestant had thirty-two pacemakers, and
in this respect Starbuck had the call.
Both went off from a standing start, and
each picked up triplet PAGERS Starbuck got
the pole, but in the second lap Michael
picked up a sextet and assumed the lead.
At the end of the second mile the little
Welshman was a hundred yards ahead, and
at the end of the third mile he was four
hundred yards ahead. From this point to
the end of the race Michael held a very de-
cided advantage. Michael had gained a lap
on his adversary Then for five or six miles
both men alternated in the lead although
there were laps to Michaers credit but the
little fellow when picked up by his favorite
quad or seXtet always had enough in re-
serve to assert his superiority over Star
buck, as he passed him at will. The fir-
teenth mile was run in the fastest time,
1:52. The slowest mile run was the thirty
third, and last, but this could be easily
accounted for through the fact that
Michael was seven laps ahead and took
things easy covering the last mile in
2:12 As. From the fifteenth mile to the end
of the race Michael beat every standing
record previously established in a contest
