and Frank Miller were going around at
a fast gait and flank Smith was trav-
cling in the opposite direction. The
riders came together through some mis-
understanding, and there was a general
mix-up. in which three wheels were
badly broken up. Mr. Giesey's wrist
was badly sprained and Mr.. Miller sus-
tainei very painful injuries TO one Of
his knees
