Something Over One Hundred, De-

lions, Cover the Distance in the
Time Limit - Seven Ladies Make
Boys Under Fifteen.
Two hundred and fifty ST. Paul and
Minneapolis wheelmen turned out yester-
day for the first annual survivors, run
of the Century ftoad club to Mortified
anu return, making it the largest and
most successful run ever made in the
west, and one of the largest held in the
united States this year. OF the number
VINO started over one lundred finished
within the time limit of fourteen hours
despite the terrific gale which continued
all Gay.
Inc term survivor as used by the
Century Road club, designates one who
mas completed century run, but the APP
Pellatlon used in connection with the
century run to Mortified yesterday, with
OCT supplementary explanation, hardly
gives the hundred who "suryived, fulI
credit The wind at times was so severe
that 1t almost blew the riders from their
wheels, and all efforts OH the part of
the fast bunch to break the state CEN
fury record were abandoned
Ihe run was directly In charge of
James McIlrath, local centurion for St
Paul. and c. H. Vanderhoof, of Mime
apolis, and the fact that so large a crowd
turned out was due to some very consci-
entious labors put in by both gentlemen
for severar weeks back in the interest of
the run. 1t was impossible last night to
obtain list of those who finished within
the time limit, but upon presenting their
checking cards to James McIlrath medals
will be issued to all who are entitled to
them.
Seventy ST. Paul riders were checked
up to o'clock last evening when the
time limit expired and about forty in
Minneapolis bringing the total number
who will receive medals and century
bars to ITO. The start was made from
Mitsch's drug store by the ST. Paul riders
at $50 and the run to Minneapolis made
very le1sureiy, where the hundred and
fifty st. Paul riders were joined by a
hundred from Minneapolis. A small party
in advance of the main party which
caught them at Pennington shortly after
To o'clock. From Minneapolis the main
party started for Northfield coming
through st. Paul and going south via the
High bridge. a dozen of the racing men
held back and did not leave Minneapolis
until after o'clock, but they were never
able to head or even catch a glimpse of
the main buncn.
iG tod hot oh
the way down, and many of those who
did reach Mortified were nearly if not
quite dead. The pacemakers for st. Paul
were James McIlrath and President Mace,
and for Minneapolis ''Rainmaker'' Han
son and C. II. Vanderhoof. Before
Mortified was reached the party was
pretty we'll scattered and the first riders
commenced to arrive shortly after /
O'clock. On the way down C. H. Wander
hoof broke his chain and temporarily
mended7it with piece OF barb wire fence
AL along; the road the farmers cheered
the riders, and some of them needed it.
There was an awful run on the pumps
and COWS adjacent to the farms along
the route.
At the Archer house the wheelmen
had their dinner, and took a thorough
rest, the main party starting home at
about / p. m. The Minneapolis riders
did not have to check on the return to
Mitsch's drug store most of them pass
ing over the High bridge and directly
home 1t was impossible to learn who
finished first and who made the best time
except that A. A. Hanson rolled over
forty miles of dusty country roads in 24O
and President Mace in 2:50.
Tom Bird, Harry Hale President Mace,
A. A. Hanson and the McIlraths We're
among the first to reach st. Paur.
The Laurel Cycle club, the Capital
Citys and the Commercial Cyclers We're
we'll represented, the second named turn
ing out almost in body. Seven lady
wheeluen finished the trip. They are
Mrs. M. c. Harrison, Miss Marion Csher
and Mrs. James McIlrath Of st. Paul,
and the Misses Niederhofer, Mrs w. l..
Price and Mrs. Monteur of Minneapolis.
Two boys under fifteen also finished,
Cuthbert McIlrath and a youth named
Callahan. There were over 600 century
bars in the possession Of those W no went
on the trip.
President Mace was seen upon his re-
turn last evening and said; Inc run
was a great success and there was not
an accident or anything unpleasant to
mar the enjoyment of the trip. of course,
the wind conspired to make the trip down
a hard one but coming back we had the
wind with US. The run means great
deal for the Minnesota division of the
century club Although a Western state,
we are successful in getting out one OIL
the biggest crowds on record. This record
and the number who completed the CEN
t1Irv speaks we'll for Minnesota road
riders. We have some of the best road
riders in the United States here in MIN
nesota.
