Major Taylor Beaten in France by an
 American.

American.
 Although it disappointed the Paris ians, the result of Major Taylor's first ride of the season in France will please the professional racing men here highly. Taylor was defeated in the final of the kilometre handicap by "Old Kaintuck" Kimball, who starteaN from scratch with Taylor Kimball, the Kentuckian, has always had a par ticular animosfty for Taylor, and has gloried in beating him when he could. Advices just received by mail give an interesting account of the meet at the Paris Buffalo track on May 2S, when Taylor made his re-appearance. The crowd welcomed the dusky boy wildly, but his riding showed that he was not in form.
 The trials for the Grand Prix of the Velocipede de France were run off on that day and several American riders figured. The first heat, at one kilo- metre, was won by George H. Collett of New Haven, with Lorraine second and Feuillet third Owen Kdmban won the second heat, with Brokaw sec ond and Milo third. The fourth heat was won by Ellegarde, with MarcelH second and Woody Hedspeth, the negro from Chicago who started in the last six day race in New York, third.
 The Parisians by the way call He'd speth Black Number Two" Taylor be- ing just "Black."
 Tn the one -kdlometre handicap Tay- Tor won the first heat from scratch, AGarsellier with 40 metres, and Piden- set with 65 metres, being second and third. The fourth heat was won by KimbalI from scratch, with Feupillet, 30 metres, and Comet. 60 metres, sec ond and third. Tn the final heat Fay Tor got away quickly and passed Kim bah. Jue and Grogna. He caught the limit men and seemed winner, when Kimiball with a mighty burst of speed shot forward and beat him out to the tape by a wheel. Taylor was second, Grogna third, Jue fourth and David fifth. Taylor, with Piard as part ner. was beaten also in a tandem race by Gentel and Matthieu, Collett and Kimball being third. It was what The French call an "afternoon of emo tions'' at the track, and the sympathy was with Taylor but the news of Kim balls victory over him is apt to cause caps to be thrown up in the dressing rooms of the American circuit.
