Madison, June 17.-tSpeciaD.-T
kennebec Log Driving Company is
having a struggle with a bad jam at
this point on the river. Several weeks
ago jam formed in the boom here on
high water, and since then the logs
have been coming faster than the men
can take care of them. AT first the
logs were held back for several days
up river to allow the crew here to get
a chance at a big haul but the logs
worked so hard that it was impossible
to make much impression on the jam.
At the present time there are in the
boom here ait least 100000 feet of
lumber and a crew of 100 men are at
work. 1t will require weeks. of labor to
remove the jam and the expense will
be heavy. This jam is the only set back
that the drive has had this year.

MICHAEL WINS.
Defeats McOufFee in the 15-
Miles Bicycle Race.
Makes New Record for Distance Of
20 Minutes, II Seconds.
Pacing Did the Business and Michael Mad
the Best PAGERS.

Cambridge, Mass. June 17.-"Jimmy''
| Michael, the Welsh wonder, beat
| Eddie" McDuffee on the Charles
River Park track, this afternoon, in the
| hottest 15-miles bicycle race ever run
| in America, and at the same time es-
| tablished a new 15-miles paced compe-
tition record of 80 minutes. IL seconds.
The race was for $500 side. McDuf-
fee led all through the race up to the
| last of the Nth mile, when his PAGERS
became worn out and the little Welsh
| man, behind fast triplet, forged
ahead and won by 100 yards.
The conditions Of the race were ex-
ceedingly novel, Each man was al
lowed as many PAGERS as he pleased
and the PAGERS were allowed to ride all
sorts of machines. The result of this
was that there were three sextets, two
"quintets, three or four "quads" and
a number of triplets all on the track at
nearly the same time. while as fast as
the men on one machine became tired,
another lot took up the unwearied
racers and carried him along. Nc
Duffee's PAGERS were nearly all on SEX
tets and ''quints." while a couple of
triplets did great work for Michael.
The race started at 520 after good af-
ternoons sport, in which an American
record for new race. the two-mile tan
dem competition standing start was made
In 405 10 by Butler brothers.
Michael and McDuffee in their race
waited until their PAGERS had developed
speed and as the sextet and the triplet
rushed past the starting point the two
fiiers jumped in after them McDuffee be-
hind the big sixtet almost Immediately
forged ahead and was 80 yards in the lead
| "a ha rSf m % cd
miles there was no change, but in the
third a hot triplet picked up Michael and
noticeably cut down McDuffee's lead
McDuffee soon made up his loss and at
the beginning of the fifth mile was about
200 yards ahead. The constant change of
pace markers kept the crowd at fever
heat Three big sextets did great work
for McDuffee, especially that manned by
the Butler brothers and four other fast
men.
At the eighth mile McDuffee was over
1-6 of a mile in the lead and his pace
makers were making 1t warm for him. In
the ninth, Michael began to gain.t the hard
work telling on the sextets and soon there
were but 100 yards between the flyers. Not
once did either man drop behind the pace
makers.
In the 10th. Michael caught the sMelrosc
man and for half a lap they raced side by
side. McDuffee. however, pulled out and
soon had 80 yards lead in the 11th. In tho
18th. one of McDuffee's sextets picked him
up very badly with the result that Michael
caught up and after a mile more. the two
were again on even terms. BY this time
there was continued roar of applause as
the men came flying around after the
PAGERS. and this was redoublcd when
Michael rushed ahead at the beginning of
the last mile.
In spite of the fact that two sextets and
a quad successfully picked up McDuffee
and apparently set the hottest kind of
pace, nothing could catch the little
Wc,shman and he rushed across the fin
ish lG0 yards ahead in the fastest l5-mile
