strongest sprinter of the season; Hardy
Downing, the California champion and
well-seasoned circuit chaser in his own
section of the country, and Harry Elkes,
the middle-distance champion, whose de-
but in the sprinting ranks has given him
prominence.
Kimble holds the quarter and two
mile championship. Bald the half mile,
Mcfarland the mile, Stevens the third
mile. and Cooper with Bald is tied for the
five-mile, while Elkes holds the middle
distance championship. With the excep-
tion of the two riders, Major Taylor, win
ner of eight, and Tom Butler, winner of
one championship, the above ten men in
clude the winners of the championship
contests of 1898, on the National Circuit.
Gardiner led the field with ten of these
big races won, but failed to score a suf-
ficient number of points to give him the
undisputed championship of the season.
In such a field and with all the men in
condition for the fight of their lives, the
championship battle is indeed problem
not to be solved at so early a date.
Reviewing the fastest work at the train
ing quarters at Washington reveals some
remarkable times made. Mcfarland and
Stevens set the fastest third-miles in reg
ular work outs, each doing the distance in
0:36. Cooper did like time, but in a third
mile sprint for which he rested, the work
of Il and Stevie" being in each instance
just at the close of a hard ride of four
or five miles. Mcfarland sprinted quar-
ter-mile in OBS, and Cooper in o:25 1-5.
Mcfarland. Stevens, Kimble, and Downing
rode the twelfth-mile in O:07 As, and Nc
Farland did sixth-mile in OILS As. The
six riders at Louisville, pacing and pacing
about a sixth of a mile for each, did
the mile in 1854 3-5. Kimble, Cooper,
Kiser. Downing. Mcfarland, and Stevens
rode that mile. Three men at Washington
Bald, Mertens, and Gardiner-rode the
mile in a similar way in 1876. but only
ing on and finishing with him. In none
! OF the training work has there been any
| pulling out back of any style of
muiticycle pace. and the riders, in train
| ing with no other assistance than that
rendered by themselves, have gained inde-
| pendence and qualities not to be acquired
/ by the easier methods of following tan
! dems. triplets, or motor cycles.
Both the very long and the very short
! sprinting distance has been employed in
the try-outs. The eighth and the sixth
miles have been seldom used. Riders be-
| lieye that the quarter and third-mile
J sprints with jump into twelfth mile or
| l00yard sprint for the finish, will win the
! day.
These well-trained long sprints with the
more violent short sprint added have thus
! far landed the money for those who fol-
| lowed the practice. Every move in
training today is with the distinct thought
/ of the future. and training is a science
just as is racing a science. The study OF
i the training methods of each rider has been
the study Of the training methods OF nearly
all the big men, and therefore the predic-
/ ton of close finishes.

Large purses never lost money for a

do to see the same men fighting for a small
