F. Geiger of Salt Lake, ESQ yards. Ed
munds took long lead as the pistol
fred, and fioated far away from the
rest OF the youths and did not cease
10 noat away until he came in with
many yards of alkali to spare. Interest
centered around Game and Jensen. by
reason of the bicycle distinction which
clusters round the name. They re-
manned together through the course
but little Game succeeded in pushing
nus pedals hard enough to beat Jensen
by few inches.
MILE TANDEM
In the mile tandem race, wherein
Cutting and I.iday were pitted against
Hassard and RipDeto, the tandem
riders alternately set the pace. Cut
ting and Liday stole away on the
stretch and the other tandem did not
reach within speaking distance Of
them. The time was 2:25 2-5.
TWO-MILE PROFESSIONAL.
The two-mile professional handicap
was looked upon as the chief attrae-
ton on the bills and it did not prove a
disappointment. Proudfit of Ogden
did not enter and the only competitors
/ were T. S. Jensen, Ted Game,
scratch men; W. P. Fowler and NJ.
Collinson. IS yards, and Smith 10
yards. Game and Jensen started to-
gether, with Game setting the pace.
At the end of the first lap Smiths
wheel got out of order and he retired.
The scratch men were soon hugging
Fowler and Collinson and until the
last lap they loafed lazily around the
trail. Then Game took the pole and
Jensen swung to the outside. To-
hnr- oh
but although Jensen made a Deauti-
full struggle he could not extinguish
Game. They finished almost neck and
neck, with Collinscn a close third.
The time was 5:SS 2-5.
The consolation race came next and
was won easily by Brown of Ogden.
Hulmston got second place and Bow
man was an Indifferent third.
Then Emory and Hassard battled for
the final heat in their series Of three.
1t was a three-nile unpaced match and
the starts were made from opposite
sides of the track. The race went on
evenly and the two warriors zigzag ged
in losses and gains. After that Has
sard visibly weakened and Emory
slowly and surely lessened the distance
between them and came in at the end
of the ninth lap a winner by six sec
onds. Emory's time was 7:4S As.
THE RELAY.
The most exciting OF the races fol-
lowed 1t was the relay between the
Ogden and Salt Lake flyers. The en-
tries for Salt Lake were Emery, Law
yer. Hassard and Cutting. While Tom
Dee, ORA Brown, WILLIAM De Wolfe
and Thomas Hulmston represented The
Ogdenites.
Cutting and Brown began the contest
from opposite sides Of the track The
race between them was for one mile,
and Brown had a lead CT 100 yards at
the finish. LAWYER then started off
against De Wolfe and brought him to
grief by running away from him TO
the extent of several hundred yards.
Hassard and Dee and then Emory and
Hulmston followed. Rassard ran far
away from his adversary and overlook
him on the last lap, amid wild dem
onstra tions from the crowd. Although
the starters of Hulmston made the
mistake of setting him off with Emory
instead of waiting for Dee, the slaugh-
ter of the Ogden men continued and
the Salt Lakers won by a lap and
quarter The time OF the Zionites was
12:25-cne minute and four seconds
ahead of the men from the north.
THE COWBOYS.
The cowboys again held high jinhs at
BeckS yeSt erday- IDlS llliit tHS IOp-
ing of steers, and the sDeediness of
one of the Idaho men almost succeeded
in breaking a worlds record. Ed Drew
of Idaho brought down huge bay
steer and had him tied within the
world-twisting time of "a seconds.
The Idaho and Utah teams were the
only competitors in the contest and
the Utahnian cowboys were overcome
in the roping and tieing contest by a
large margin. The Idaho cattle chas-
ers captured and tied down five
steers within minutes and 2 seconds.
