In the road race given in connection
with the Pythian outing yesterday
although the original number of en-
tries surpassed any road race list this
year, but twenty-five men reported for
the start, making one less than the
number of riders in the Rough Riders
race on Tuesday Spectators viewed
the race all along the course, but the
largest number was at the Park to see
the finish. There were numerous spills
all along the line owing to the torn-up
condition of the pike. None were OF a
very serious nature, however, as all
the starters finished. Smith, who won
first and time, is from Brilliant, ..
The course was from Chapline and
Fourteenth street, east to Jacob, TO + if
teenth, to McCulloch, to Baker, and
thence by the National road to the
Park and to the first water trough
on the main driveway. Chicken
Neck hill is being graded and the
road is badly torn up; otherwise the
course was in excellent condition.
Following were the officials:
Referee-W. r. Stevenson.
Starter-W I. Sadler.
Judges-John H. Mcclure, G. II. Gel
ger, Jess McCausland.
Timers-Emil Leonard, R. E. Schu-

by McGranahan, while attempting to
go around the crowd ran into the
ticket office, McGranahan falling over
him. Before they recovered four rid
ers had passed them.
"Ikey," the messenger boy wonder,
who had the limit, led to the top OF
Peninsula hill. At this point he was
overtaken by Charles Salade. Smith
overlook the two at Altenheim.
Salade took Chicken Neck hard and
made good lead over the other two,
who took the. steep grade cautiously.
Salade led to Greenwood, where he was
overtaken by Smith and Pearlman.
Smith then went ahead finishing with
good margin to spare, the other two
trailing in close together.
