o'clock. The members of the session, ex-

of the session hold tho same position as the

Remarkable Time Under Bad Condi.

New York, Oct. 16.-Lieutenant H. A.
Wise. U. s. A.. member of the New
York Athletic club. broke the Wash

more than eight hours when he finished
his ride yesterday. He made the dis
tance, 2391s miles, In 27 hours and 80
minutes. The best previous record
was 36 hours. Aside from the record
breaking performance, the new cham
pion gains prominence because Of the
miserable condition Of the roads
through Maryland. From Baltimore
to Havre de Grace 1t took four hours
for Mr.. Wise to make 25 miles, and on
no part Of the western end of the jour-
ney were the roads In such shape that
tandems could be used in pacemaking.
The record was made possible only
by the remarkable time made after
Philadelphia had been passed. Five

were made In 1G minutes, and equally
as good time was made between Eliza
