the unpaced record between Baltimore
and Washington on Friday morning.
He started from Baltimore at exactly 7
o clock in the morning and his start was
timed by DR.. William S. Lorr, DIR. G. E.
Smith, j. G. Miller, and Win Mace. A
watch exactly corresponding in time with
those held i,y the timers was sealed up
and placed in the riders pocket and he

He came over the long route, by way Of
Sligo, and entered the city by the Seventh
street road The finish was at Seventh and
Boundary streets, and the time was taken
by DR.. c. NJ. Buckley, E. P Hazelton and
s. W. Z. Love. The watch carried by
the rider exactly conceded with those

that the record had been broken by NOR e

the previous record two weeks ago and

July and Labor Day has somewhat al
lowed local enthusiasm to dwindle, though
race meets in August weather are ap

acquitted themselves. This has kept them
in good training, and with the nax5 meet
in view, good form and close battles Will

which will attract all the riders 1t Is eX-
pected that several crack outsiders Will

The sixth race is onemile club race,

championship is claimed by at least two
clubs, and the others think they can get

genuine interest to the event.
