The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-07-23

final heat of the National Championship
contest The pacemakers hit up a lively
pace The men at the completion Of the
first lap We're riding in the following or
der: Tom Butler, Harley Davidson,
Charles Mccarthy, B. B. Bird, Charles
Hofer and Angus Mcleod. The latter
seemed to have some trouble with his
wheel and was practically out of the race
at the beginning of the third lap. Nc
Carthy's wheel slipped Hofer, who was
just behind him, rode out of the course
and was lost. Tom Butler won from
Harley Davidson by several wheel lengths
and Birney Bird was good third. The
race was the fastest match of the after
noon and was well contested, being fin
ished in the fast time of 2:I0 As.
The race that made the circuit men
weary was the professional two mile
handicap. All the local men were given
liberal handicaps, and the best that the
circuit men who rode from scratch I'D
TO forty yards could do was to catch
the ninety yards men, The three limit
men finished first. A. J. McCullom, who
was given the limit of 320 yards, was
never caught by any Of the faster riders.
and ne finished fifty feet ahead of the
$50 yard men, Frank Daniels and c. Hol-
mer, who secured second and third mon
ey, respectively. After this race the cir
cult men had a few things to say about
dirt tracks, but in justice to them 1t can
be said that they all deported themselves
as gentlemen, and put up some very
clean, although rather slow contests,
with the exception noted.
GARRISON A WINNER.
The three mile amateur handicap was
won by Clarkson, a thirty-yard man,
Walter Granquist finishing second and
Paul Mayer third. The race was spir-
tied one, and the scratch men failed to
secure a place. The two mile team plir-
suit race was won by Minneapolis. The
st. Paul team was composed of George
Sudheimer, Edward Sudheimer and Har-
ry Perkins, and the team representing
Minneapolis, L. Niederhofer, Ben Erick-
son and Walter Granquist
st. Paul won the toss Of the coin and
started in front of the grand stand,
while the three Minneapolis riders
started in the opposite direction from
the other side Of the track. The men
took turns pacing one another, but the
Minneapolis team secured a lead early in
the race, which the st. Paul boys were I'M
able to overcome.
TO WHOM SUCCESS IS DUE.
The success of the meet is due to the
enterprise of five st. Paul gentlemen
who put up large guaranty fund to
bring the national circuit riders here,
and who have not profted by the ven
ture. The executive committee worked
up the project. with a view to exciting
some LEGAL interest in clean bicycle rae
