Chapman and Barnaby made a pretty

One of the hottest races of the night
was in the third heat of the tandem pro-

on scratch, against Harry Gibson and
Lawson, who had eighty-five yards hand

team began gaining on their opponents,
slowly but surely, until on the last lap

them beaten. and, passing on the outside,

Walter Davidson won the final in clever
style Furman, on scratch, was looked

Jimmy Michael, the worlds champion

aroused intense enthusiasm, owing to
Michael's marvellous speed and ease of
riding. He covered the quarter in 0:29 4-5,
