CENTURY FOR FIFTY
BUT ONLY HALF OF THEM FIN
ISHED IN THE TIME
LIMIT
'ToNKA-wHITE BEAR COURSE

Carmichacrs Effort to Break the
Century Record Was Defeated by
the High WinG-This, Too, De-
creased the Number to Get With
nue. Hill Too Easy.
A half hundred members Of the Cen
Jury Road Club of America yesterday
participated in a century run under the
direction of Dr. c. II. Hunter. of Mime
apolis, state centurion of the club. About
twenty-five of those starting finished the
100 miles within the time limit which is
fourteen hours The trip was made over
the Minnetonka- White Bear course, going
to the latter place twice and to Minneton-
ka once.
The trip was made very leisurely, and
was completed by those making the en-
tire circuit in something over thirteen
hours.
Daniel Carmichael made an unsuccess-
full attempt to lower the state century
record over the Minnetonka course, but
failed by twenty minutes to touch the
mark set by Louis Neiderhofer, of Min
neapolis, who last year made the 100 miles
in hours and 80 minutes. Carmichaels
time yesterday was hours and so min
utes He was paced by tandems a large
part of the way. At Minnetonka Mills
he lost ten minutes trying to locate a
puncture, but barring the accident it
would have been almost impossible TO
shave the present record, owing to the
exceptionally high wind which blew all
day. Carmichael is confident that he can
beat Neiderhofer's record, and will make
another trial under more favorable cir
cumstances
The party started from the Bucking-
ham at $50, and made the run to White
Bear in a little less than an hour. Here
quite a rest was taken before resuming
the journey to ST Paul via Bald Eagle
lake. The wheelmen~ arrived in the city
again about 1915 and made the run to
Como, where they were the guests of the
Commercial cyclers for an hour or more
From Como the party, shortly after H.
started for Minnetonka, arriving at Hotel
st. Louis about 2 p. m. Here dinner was
served and several pleasant hours spent
Several members of the club made short
after-dinner talks, and the party started
home about o'clock, arriving here about
o'clock. The second trip to White Bear
and return was taken after dark.

One of the features of the trip, in adj
dition to Carmichaers attempt to lower
