Exciting Cycle Races at the Coliseum
Last Night

There was great big gathering at the
Coliseum last night to witness the ten-mile
race. In heats. between Nat Butler and
Howard Freeman, and lovers of the cycle
sport were given a rare treat. Freeman ar
rived in Washington last night. coming d.
rect from Atlantic City. as told in last
evenings Star, and went into the race none
the worse for his trip. In fact, Freeman
was so fast that he made rings around But
Ter. winning both heats in hollow style.
In the first heat Buffers pace broke
down. and he had to tramp it alone for
mile or more, and of course Freeman ran
away from him. This strain on Butler hurt
his work in the second heat. and once more
Freeman had an opponent easy to beat.
Following is the time made by miles,
in the two heats. Butler leading for the
first mile of the first heat and Freeman tor
every other mile:

The two-mile motor cycle race, as was to
be expected proved unusually exciting on
account of the speed a which each ma
chine was sent around the bowl track. Tur-
vile and Zimmerman were on tandem
motor, while Burrows straddled a single
motor. The race was pretty one until
Burrows machine gave out on account
of the great strain at which it was pushed
and of course the tandem had an easy time
of 1t winning after that.
The first numbers run off last night were
the trials in the one-mile handicap, ANA
teurs. Three heats were reeled off, with
ten starters, the first two in each and the
third In the fastest trial to qualify for the
final heat. c. l.. Miller won his trial, with
J. L. Mitchell second and A. Messineo third.
The second heat was warm brush for first
place between w. N. Ward and c. Cogs-
we'll Ward won out by less than wheel.
w. Bonnell was third. The last trial heat
was taken by J. o. Bardroff, with j. Hill
second and E. L. Wilson third The final
heat had five starters, with Miller on the
tape. He loafed too long in the rear to
catch the limit men, Cogswell and Mitchell.
The finals in the amateur invitation third
of a mile race, the trials of which were run
Wednesday night, brought six men to the
tape-Miler, Bardroff, Ward, Wilson, Hill
and Messineo. Hill traied the bunch about
the disk for the first lap and on the back
stretch made splendid jump and went well
by two lengths ahead of Ward, who finished
second, with Wilson third.
