WHEEL WORK
The Welsh Cyclone Runs Away From
Starbuck

NEW YORK, Aug. 21-Jimmy Mich
ael, the Welsh bicycle rider, easily de-
feated Frank Starbuck of Philadelphia
in a thirty-three mile race at the Man
haitian Beach track today. Although
Michael had poorer set Of machines for
pacemaking, his pluck and stamina
stood him in good stead, and he finished
the contest in 66A minutes, fully two
miles ahead of the American The at
tendance was 1000. Both men were in
perfect condition. A good deal Of money
changed hands on the result, but the
admirers of the foreigner had to lay odds
on their candidate, and many bets were
made in favor Of Michael at 100 to 50
and 100 to 10.
Each contestant had thirty-two pace
makers, and in this respect Starbuck
had the call. Both went off from a
standing start and each picked Up trip
let 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 Welsh
man was 100 yards ahead, and at the
end of the third mile he was 400 yard:
ahead. From this point to the end of thi
race Michael had very decided advan.
tage Michael had soon gained lap OF
his rival. Then for FIVE or six miles botl
men alternated in the lead although
there was a lap to Michaels credit, bu
the little fellow, when picked up by hi
favorite quad or sextet, was enough il
reserve to assert his superiority owe
Starbuck and passed him at will. TIL
fifteenth mile was ridden in the fast tim
| af one minute and f1fty-tWo seconds
The slowest mile was the thirty third
but this could be easily accounted fo
through the fact that Michael was near
ly seven laps ahead and took things easy
covering the last mile in 2:12 As. Fror
the fifteenth mile to the end of the rae
Michael beat every standing recor
previously established in a contes.

Racing In Illinois.

The latest news from the Illinois leg
islature is that the prospect for the
adoption of racing law is growing de-
cidedly slim. 1t seems that there has
been mild outbreak of the same old
war which two years ago prevented ac-
ton by body of lawmakers containing
a majority favorable to liberal laws for
the turf. There is no doubt that the
managers of thoroughbred racing are
bitterly opposed to a 10 day bill and
are thus standing in their own way, if
they desire return of prosperity. Man
ayers of harness racing in New York set
them splendid example by accepting
the best they could get and deciding to
wait until a more favorable season be-
fore asking for all they wanted and real
ly needed. 1t will be unfortunate, in
deed, if racing interests in Illinois must
languish for another period of two years
because Of the grasping methods Of
either branch Of the sport. Horse Re

THE AMERICAN HORSE.
Much Discussion Expected when Mr.. wal
lace's Book Is Read.


After almost four years of research
and writing John II. Wallace has COM
plctcd his book, "The Horse of Amer
lea ard tie work is now in press.
These who know the venerable editor
and horse historian need not be told that
the appearance Of the volume will be
the signal for hullaLaloo in tie horse
world.
His researches in Libraries of this
country and England have led him to
repudiate many long accepted notions
concerning the important points Of
horse history, particularly the original
habitat of the horse, the antiquity of
the Arabian and the origin of the Eng
lish thoroughbred. Whatever may be
the verdict as to his conclusions, it is
doubtless true that Mr. Wallace has, in
writing his took, made u more exhaust
i've and thorough research into the rec
ords of antiquity than any horse his
torian that has preceded him.
He has gone back to the beginning
and has departed from the beaten path
of history at nearly all points from pre-
historic times down to the present day.
nc COMMONLY accepted belief that Ara
bia was the original home of the horse is
strongly refuted, Mr.. Wallace maintain
ing that this distinction belongs to the
country now known as Armenia, where
horses were plentiful /, 700 years prior
to the Christian era and fully 1900
years before they were first introduced
into Arabia. Concerning the orthodox
doctrine that the English thoroughbred
is descended i'll every line from Arabian
stock, Mr.. Wallace enters into an elab-
crate argument and arrives at the con-
clusion that the thoroughbred race horse
possesses less than 10 per cent of the
blood Of the horse of the desert.
He cites many contemporary writers
not heretofore unearthed by horse his
tCrians and maintains that the English
runner, like the American trotter, is
the product of selection and develop
ment and is very largely of ancient
British and Irish stock, entirely distinct
from asd superior to the imported ORR
entail horse. a large portion Of the work
treats Of colonial horse history i'll Amer
lea, which is of much interest and i'm
portanoe. 4 little more than one-ha1f
of the work is devoted to the history of
the trotting horse, his origin and de-
velopnent, from the time of Messenger
down to the present day. Mr.. Wallace
is living in New York, and, although
now nearly : ) years Ct age, he is just
about as vigorous mentally and phys
iCally, as he was when the writer fir
knew him, IA years ago. -Horseman.
