| Bicycle Races.
| One noticeable thing about yesterday S
bicycle races, which were not as interest
| ing as they might have been owing to the
| 20 20 hot ohn Tnb
of Worcester won his fifth consecutive
race for the week and four local riders
had an opportunity of winning prizes for
the first time during the fair.
/ The starters in the mile open were
Charles A. Heating, Aver, Mass, Fred
H. Mospan, South Portland, W. a..

dence, E. j. Rodgers, Melrose, G. B.
Pike of Norway, John S. johnson of
Worcester, john r. johnson of Portland.
| A limit of two minutes and thirty five
seconds was put on the heat and the
bunch was sent off in good style. The
finish was SO close that it was almost i'm
possible to pick tho second and third
men. John S. johnson won another $50
diam md, e. A. Kicker of Sanford Sit
chair for the second prize, and W. FL.
Bricfcrhoff was third and won SIC
clock. The time of the mile was 2.34 2-5
E. j. Rodgers entered protest and
claimed either second or third place, but
it was not allowed.
The two mile handicap race was not OF
the interest that it shouidhave been owing
to the fact that the limit men were given
the scratchmen were unable to catch
them.
On the first lap after the bunch had
been started H B. Hills of Providence,
the scratch man found that 1t was useless
attempting to catch the limit men and
he dropped out, as did Brad Himeon
The men finished in two sections. First
came the limit men with Fred Ell. Mos.
pan of South Portland, first, o. III. Grim.
mer of Portland second, Gustave Peter
son of Portland third and E. A. Kicker
of Sanford fourth. The others came In
by themselves in second section. The
| crowd was delighted to see the local rid
ers get chance at the prizes, but the
handicap was undoubtedly unjust to the
riders from away. Mospan won first
prize, s35 diamond; Grimmer the Sec
ond prize, $25 diamond, and Peterson
| the third prize, SIS macintosh, while
Kicker of Sanford won the fourth prize,
a $40 rifle. The time for the two miles
