outing yesterday were the most spir-
tied contests of the kind seen here this
year. There was a big list of entries
and the handicaps allowed by Handi-
capper %A.eyenson were just right to
furnish very close and exciting finish
eS. The track was not in the best OF
condition, but the time was surprising
Wheeling riders tore down all the
money by heady riding. The Salade
brothers were very much in evidence
and their work yesterday ranks them
with the best amateur cracks in this
section, Charley, who finished second
in the K. of P. event, pulled a second
a fifth, and a first place respectively
out of the one-fourth, half and five
mile handicaps. His brother show
ed in the last two at first and third
respectively.
There was only one fall, and that,
in the half mile event, amounted to
very little.
The conditions for fast work were
most favorable with the exception of
the condition of the track, and there
was practically no wind. The track
was kept perfectly clear of spectators,
so that the riders had nothing to inter-
fere with them. The only outside
talent that showed for any money
were Smith, of Brilliant, who ran
fourth in the half mile from scratch
and Miller, of Moundsyille, who i'm
ished fifth in the five mile event.
Lester Dillon, the former peer of
amateurs in this section on track and
road, was out for the first time yester-
day since 1895. He sat his Quaker
as of old and hung to the push up to
the finish, doing even more than his
share of pace making. But when it
came to making the jump in the
stretch, his effort was only a shadow
of his former work. The "old fellow" as
the crowd called him, was given the
hand whenever he passed the stand at
the head of the push. He only enter
ed in the five mile event. 1t is to be
hoped that he will be out again, if only
to remind people of old times when
"matinees," such as yesterday after
noon, were weekly oceurances during
the summer months.
Kunkle, of st. Clairsville, as usual,
was in everything. On the strength of
his former records, made two years
ago and further back, he was scratch
in every event. His exhibition in the
5-mile vas disgraceful. After trying
to leave Smith on the second lap, he
fell back, allowing the game little boy
from Brilliant to do all the pulling so
that when they finally caught the
bunch on the eighth lap, Smith was all
in for the finish and did not try.
The officials were as follows:
Referre and starter-W. L. Steven
son.
Assistant referee-W. T. Sadler.
Manager. G. Stamp.
Judges-Jesse McCausland, Jno.
Rankin, Jos. Rankin, Percy Harris,
Elwood Humes, Walter Cochran.
Timers-R. S. Dillon and Jason
Stamp.
The one-fourth mile handicap was
very pretty. Merge, of this city, a
rank outsider, won from Charley Sal
ade from the fact that the tape was
not twenty yards farther away. The
winners came in on each others
heels, finishing, Merge. Salade C.,
Koch, Balzer and McGranahan. The
time vas very fast.
The half-mile was a run away race
from start to finish. The scratched
men caught up at the quarter pole.

the stretch, Salade e., who was laying
back, swung wide to avoid a box and
came down the stretch. 1t was a bat
tie royal, but Salade forged gradually
ahead, finishing by the tape a length to
the good over Pickett, who beat Fred
erichs out by a wheel. Smith, Salade
c., and Koch, finished l. the order
named.
The five mile event was the prettiest
wheel contest ever seen on that half
mile track. Dodd, the Wellsburg
scratch man. did not ride. He was
but of his usual good form yesterday.
Gilchrist, rs yards away, was the near
est to scratch. Salade E., at 125 yards
caught the push before half a Jap had
been made. but only after a deal Of
hard work. Seamon, a 440 yard man,
made the pace for the first thre laps,
but killed himself. Gilchrist was dis
tanced after five laps, but finished the
course. On the seventh lap it got too
hot for BalZer and ne dropped out.
After the two scratch men had caught
the crowd neal the end Of the seventh.
kunkle dropped at the beginning OF
the final. Smith trailed the riders to
the beginning of the last round and
then tried OF move up, but he was al.
In after his hard ride to catch. The
squirt was from the eighth pole and
hard fought all the way. Charley Sal
ade was first to pass the tape with a
length TO spare over Veterinarian. SAL
ade E., was third. and Frederichs
four. Miller and Dillon finished fifth
and sixth, respectively.
