The End Of the Bicycle Race

The international six days bicycle
race Of 1902 was distinguished in two
respects, namely, the overwhelming de-
feat OF the foreign riders and, relatively
speaking, the fine condition of the men
who finished. In no similar race held
in this country have the European
champions been vanquished so quickly
and completely as in the one Of last
week, and, strange To say. never had
their chances of success seemed brighter
than at the outset of that contest.
Strong hopes centred particularly in
the French-German team, composed
of GoUGoLTz and KAISER. whose teams
finished third and fourth, respectively,
in the race Of 1900. GoUGoLTz is the
champion long distance cyclist OF France,
while KAISER holds all of the long-dis-
lance German records. Both of these
riders were forced to quit before the
race was half over. BRETON and DARRA.
CON, another pair Of crack French
cyclists, had enough of it before the
close of the third day; and so. also, had
the representatives Of Belgium. KEE-
GAN, the Irishman, who hung on and
finished seventh with his mate, PETER
son, deserves credit for his pluck
The winners, LEASDER and KREBs,
who formed what was known as the
Western team, were what may be called
the dark horses in the race. Both had
earned good reputation for hard rid
ing, but they were long shots at the
beginning of the contest. Much dis
appointment was felt in the perform
ances of the veteran champions, ELKEs,
BALD, MCFARLAND and STINsoN, the
first two having dropped out early in
the race, and the other two having
finished in the third and fourth teams,
respectively The New England team
of NEwKIRK and JACOBSON, which fin
ished second, rode admirably, and, IA
the saying goes, will bear watching in
future long-distance races.
How did the race affect the riders
physically? LEANDER said on Saturday
night that he had gained seven pounds
during the week, that he took no = power
full stimulant whatever 10 keep up his
strength, and that he never enjoyed a
race more thoroughly. kREBs, his part
ner, also finished in good condition and
reported that he felt no ill effects from
his ride. Statements similar to these
were made by most Of tine other con-
testants. Of course. the secret Of their
being able to hold out as they did is
the same as that which insures success
in all other feats Of endurance; they
