The great event of the afternoon, how
ever, was the series Of motorcycle races.
Even the insistent band stopped playing a
moment SO that John Riggles OF the Re-
tail Clerks Union could announce the
events. The first race, a ten-mi!e one.
was the signal for mighty roar from
grandstand to railing. The bunch got
away fairly we'll. although two or three
unfortunates were left at the post pedal
ing for dear life and looking and feeling
foolish as the other machines began to
pump away from them. The race finally
reduced itself to a duel between NJ Man
gold, on an Indian, and w. 3. Genella on
a Merkel. These two fought II out for
five miles. neck and neck. but finally
Mangold got lead that could not be cut
down and won.
The second race was the fifteen mile
handicap for The Evening Star cup.
There were eighteen starters and the en-
thusiasm OF the first race was doubled
as it became evident that the field had a
very dangerous rival in Mangold, who
had just won the first race. Around and
around the bunch whizzed. taking corners
and chances with equal facility. There
was not the slightest suggestion of foul
ing. however, and everything concerning
the race was clean and above board.
Mangold got an easy lead in the last few
miles, and with the band playing for all ii
was worth crossed the line a winner
ond. The twenty fve-mile race was won
by George w. Beall, with Malcolm Get
finger second
All Kinds of Races.
Between the second and third races the
field games were started up. Men, wom-
en- and children participated in egg races
sack races, three-legged races, hundred
yard dashes and wheelbarrow races. This
| last contest proved to be a spirited affair
and almost broke up the meeting Sew.
! eral ladies lined up at the scratch and
pushed wheelbarrow at top speed fol-
| twenty-five yards. The thing looks easy
! but Wheelbarrows wobble some and there
were frequent collisions. Mrs. Clara
Sanger and Mrs. c. b. Schrier finished sc
| close together that the judges were at q
loss for a decision and it was suggested
| that they run it over. This was perfectly
| agreeable to both racers but when it was
| suggested by some awful man that they
exchange wheelbarrows. Mrs. Schrier de-
! cIared that if she could not use her own
wheelbarrow then she would not play
and. besides. she did not want to win the
| race anyhow. So the prize OF a shirt
! waist went to Mrs. Sanger
