 D Paced Race.


 Philadelphia, Aug. 6.-Jimmy Michael this evening defeated Eddie McDuffe in a twenty-five mile paced race, but McDuffie will probably contest. He signed a con tract to race Michael fifteen miles. The American Racing association, however, ad- vertised the race to be twenty-five miles and over 15C00 persons travelled to Willow Grove to witness 1t. There was considera. ble dissatisfaction when the spectators learned that the race was to be but fifteen miles, but it was finally announced that McDuffie had consented to ride the twenty five miles. There was nothing remarkable about the race and no records were broken. During the entire race neither rider got within ten seconds of record. si-tlla4
