How THEY RODE.
Interest Centered in the Stark
County Championship
Race.

The contest in which the most in
terest centered was the one mile race
for the Stark county championship.
The race was won by George II. Mong,
the crack rider from Massillon. There
were IL entries in this race and they
were distributed mostly from Alliance,
Canton and Massilon. Those who en-
tered were Il. A. Weaver, Of Carlo; r.

Canton; James L. Amerman, w. r.
Lanam, of Alliance; M. WShanklin,
George d. Blackwood, George II. Mong,
and C. H. Snyder, of Massillon.
Mong, Of Massillon, did not get into
the lead until coming down the home
stretch, and when he crossed the tape
first his admirers from the west end
city went wild and he was given a great
ovation. Sponseller, Of Canton, came ir
a very close second and came within an
ace of winning. Lanam, of Alliance,
came In third.
A spill occurred on the stretch homa
Reigler, of Canton, who commanded a
good position had the misfortune to
have his chain slip on him and he tum-
bled to the ground. Amerman, of Al
lance, who was Immediately behind
him also got mixed iI the spill and land
ed headlong. His leg was bruised some

23 entries, and four of these were Can
tonians, with the following handicaps:
Schumacher, 400 yards; Parker, 395
yards; Rea 300 yards, and Sponseller
225 yards. Merkle and Wilkens We're
the scratch men the same as in the
other two handicap races. This was All
interesting race, as the positions of the
starters were constantly changing and
the winner could not be picked out un-
til the tape was crossed. At the end
Of the first mile Deck crossed the line
first. He had a handicap of 1926 yards.
The second mile Mong, with 275 years
was the first man. The third mile Deck
was again in the lead. The fourth mile
ended with Umstead, of Salem, $50
yards, leading the bunch and the fifth
mile and the race closed with Eddie
Somers, Of Cleveland, first with a so
yard handicap; Allen came in second,
Merkle, the scratch man, third, and
Cotell fourth. Time, 1887. Many drop
ped out of this race as 1t continued as
the wind was then blowing worse than
II had at any time during the evening
and the boys. seeing they could make no
advance dropped out.
SPECIAL RACE.
The eighth and last event Of the even
ing was the special race which was
open to the winners of the previous
races. There were Eddie Somers, e. J.
Merkle, c. ]. Parker, N. A. Sponseller.
Cliff Allen, Fred Schumacher, H. NJ.
Wilkens and A. ]. Cotell. Schumacher
and Wilkens, who were eligible to the
race, did not enter. The winner of the
Stark county championship was not in
cluded. This event was only one mile.
Somers was an easy winner, with Allen
second and Merkle third. Time, 2:40.
The first prize was Pierce bicycle. This
ended a most successful meet and 1t Is
to be hoped that we will have more Of
night bicycle races in Canton, as the
first one was no doubt winner.
