THE INTERNAL MACHINES

Thirteen hundred people witnessed the
greatest bicycle racing ever seen in the
south at the coliseum track last might.
All former track records were smashed
and the worlds eiglht-lap track record was
lowered ten seconds. In the one-mile exh-
bition on a motor tandem Eaton and Stone
rode the distance in 1877 20. The lowest
record prior to this was a mile in 1:48,
made by Mtchaels and Johnson on an eight
lap track in Memphis.
Ped Hickman rode a one-mile exhibition
behind motor tandem in lao This is two
seconds lower tlnan (nis time of l:IS made
on his recent trip north.
The clip set by the crack riders last night
was fast that at first the crowd failed
to realize what class of sport they were
seeing. Outside Of the unpaced mile by
John Nelson OF Chicago in 2;11, not mile
was run off in as high as two minutes.
Nothing was ever seen on the Birming-
ham track that could approach the time
reeled off by Stafford and Eaton for ten
miles in a match race. Each man had a
motor tandem pace and started from oppo-
site sides of the track. 1t was a seesaw
game until the last two miles, when the

Patience, long sick to death, is dead Too

Have sloth and doubt and treason hidden

What Cromwell's was, and not when the

Bore witness, given of Blake, how strong
She stood; a commonwealth that brooked

From foes less vile than men, like wolves

Whose war is waged, where none may
fight or flee
With women and with weanlings. Speech
and song
Lack utterance now for loating since we

Foul tongues that blacken Gods dishon-

With prayers turned curses and with

To scourge these dogs. agape with jaws

til the last lap, when Eaton crossed the
tape a half wheels length behind Stafford
gaining half lap in the ten miles. The
spectators rose to their feet and urged the
riders on with wild shouts during the last
two laps, and when the time, 1850, was an

The Internal Machine
The first event was a one-mile exhibition
by Miller and Judge on their "infernal ma
chine" When the heavy motor tandem
was pulled out on the track and the gaso-
line began to make a peculiar popping
sound there was a lively scramble to see
the peculiar machine. The Internal ma
chine produces sound similar to that OF a
naptha launch, the puffs getting faster as
the wheel increases it's speed. The mile was
made in TAI 1-5.
The next was an exhibition by Eaton and
Stone on the American motor tandem The
riders started at a terrific clip and kept up
the pace to the finish. AS the wheel cross
ed the tape on the last lap 1t was ANNOUNCE
ed that they had broken the worlds eight
lap track record by ten seconds.
Waller and Stafford then appeared on an
other American machine for one-mile ex-
hibition. Time, LAG fiat.
1t was then announced that Ped Hick-
man would ride a mile behind one of the
internal machines. AS the little rider
mounted his wheel and started around the
track he was met with tremendous ap-
plause. In few seconds he was picked
up by the PAGER and after going two laps

Saturday night at O'Brien's opera house
was first in the school now kept mostly by
William Gillette. He is the original, nat
ural actor. He used to play the elder Beau
cicero in Diplomacy" SO easily that at
times many failed to note that he was
playing at all. He seemed to be the very
man of the story MIR. Gillette is employing
the same method today. Few other actors
have ever undertaken it, and at the present
instant there is no other who has succeeded
in it.
Few actors have made greater success
than has Mr. Coghlan in his new play.

~THE PLAYN
Phil Peters at Auditorium

The inimitable Phil Peters was at the Au-
ditorium again last night and had out in
front of him splendid audience that en-
joyed the fun and specialties introduced for
public delectation.
Considering the fact that two strong at
fractions were against the Auditorium, still
the crowds were on hand and in fact the
amount of business done was phenomenal.
The bill was "The Moonshiners," in
which both Mr.. and Mrs. Peters shone
like a pair of diamonds in a coal pit.
The performance was good and the audi
ence enjoyed it.
This afternoon the management will give
a bargain matinee.

the mile was started. Birmingham's little
rider tagged the rear wheel of the machine,
and not for a moment during the entire dis
lance did they shake him. On the last few
laps the crowd began yelling Hoop it up
Ped" and tho machine let out As they
rushed past the grand stands Ped was still
hanging on and the applause was deafening
His time was LAG.
The next event was a one-mile open pro-
fessional handicap The riders were enter
ed as follows ]. Eaton, scratch; Charley
Miller, % yards; Willie Stafford, 60 yards;
Joseph Judge, so yards. AT the shot Miller,
who was riding a 120-geared wheel, failed
to get a good start and was passed by
Eaton on the lap. Eaton then lit out after
Stafford. Miller by this time had picked
up and on the third lap tagged Eaton's
rear wheel. Both closed in on Judge, who,
up to this time, had been far ahead. Mil
Ter was never able to lessen Eaton's lead
and they finished in the same order, with
Stafford and Judge far in their wake. Time:
2:0S nat.
Lee Richardson Not Forgotten
Lee Richardson, the famous trick rider,
was then introduced. He met with liberal
applause as ne emerged from the dressing
room enveloped in a brown satin robe.
RICHARDSON is quite a favorite in Birming-
ham and his exhibition last night was SUI
perb.
This was followed with a one-mile I'M
paced exhibition by John Nelson of Chi
cago. Nelson holds the worlds champion
ship for 100 kflometers, won at the inter-
national races in Montreal.
Those unfamiliar with racing can hardly
understand the difficulty a man rides under
when unpaced. He has nothing whatever
to guide him. The Chicago lad started out
at a sprintng pace and though he appar-
emily tagged on the fourth and fifth laps he
turned himself loose in the last three and
finished in 2:11.
A motor tandem two mile race was put
on as the last event. The teams were Stone
and Eaton, Miller and Judge and Waller
and Stafford The putting of the machines
reminded one of a race between steam en-
gines as they rushed around the track.
Eaton and Stone took the lead and held it
