HUBBARD A WINNER.
Takes First Prize In
the Arlington
Road Race.
TAYLOR MADE GREAT TIME.
A Worthy Namesake of the
Great Worcester
Flyer.
TAYLOR MADE GREAT TIME.

Holden, Aug. 5.-Under the most IA
yorable auspices the Arlington Cycle
club held today the best road race the
people of this town have had the for
tune to witness. There was very
large attendance, the road on both
sides of the starting point being lined
for rods two or three rows deep.
At promptly $3.50 the men We're sent
away in the following order: c. Benson,
scratch; L. w. Hubbard, Is yards; C.
G. F. Koenig. rs yards; w. oleson, 80
yards; Samuel Taylor so yards; Fred
Steadman 65 yards; Ed Steadman, IS
yards; Frank Chaplin, 80 yards; Emil
Koenig, 100 yards; Lymert Balloon, $50
yards. Benson, scratch, got bad start,
which interfered with his success in the
finish. and he was thought to be too
heavily handicapped
The men went at a killing pace and
took the corners on the course in great
style.
The course was 3,3 miles in length and
the riders finished as follows: L. w.
Hubbard, 1st; Samuel Taylor I'd; w.
Oleson, Sd; Ed. Steadman, 4th; C. Ben
son, 9Th; Fred Steadman, 9Th; C. G. F.
Keonig, 18th; Frank Chaplin, Sth; Ly-
inert Balloon, 9th, and Emil Koenig,
10th.
The feature was the fine riding of
Taylor, the so yard man, who bids fair
to become a worthy follower of his
great namesake, the Major" Taylor
rode a good race and displayed great
head work.
The prizes for which the men rode
We're: First, fishing rod; I'd speedmeter;
3d., racing slippers 4th, Veeder trip
cyclometer; 5th, golf stockings; 9Th,
club cap; BOBBY, bottle of pickles.
The judges were DR.. c. w. Stickney,
E. w. Merrick. and Edward E. Howe.
The Spy man acted as starter. The time
of the winner was GA and of the
scratch man 9:29. The finish was very
exciting, as there was not a wheels diff
ference between the first three men.
The club intends to hold an open road
race at an early date.

DIED IN THE STREET.
William Booth of Leominster Expired
from Heart Disease.

Leominster, Aug. 5.-William Booth,
arespected citizen of this town, dropped
dead in front of Tenney & Porter's shop
at 1890 this afternoon Mr.. Booth had
left his horse standing, and it started
to run away and Mr.. Booth ran after
it. He suddenly fell to the ground, and
those who reached him first were sur
prised to find him dead. He was 70
years old, and death probably was due
to heart disease, fastened by over-ex-
ertion on such a hot day.
