The ten mile motorcycle race was
the most exciting of the day. Herrick
was mounted on h. p. Indian, Ber-
ger a h. p. Reading Standard (Syl-
vester Gardia's racing machine) and
Harvey Chiffon on "a h. p. In
dian. Berger's machine started the
fun by taking fire. The blaze was
smothered but in a few seconds it
took fire worse than ever aud had to
be ducked under water tap. The
start was finally made at 3;42:O2

rick was about ten yards ahead of
Berger, while Chiffon was about 90
yards more Ia the bad.

by him like streak of lightning. The

of the fourth mile Berger was nearly
Two miles ahead -of Herrick and Chill

to help Herrick with his crippled
wheel.

little and was about mile and a half
behind Berger at its end, Chiffon be-
ing three fourths mile behind Herrick.
In the sixth mile Herrick pulled up
still more and was only three-fourths
mile behind Berger, Herricks tire,
however, seemed to be going. Chiffon
traled a mile behind the next low
man.
In the seventh mile, Herricll's tire
caved in and Berger was so far ahead
of Chiffon as to make the race all
onesided He finished the ninth in
12:14 and the ten miles in 1892. At
the finish Berger was going at such
terrific clip that he could not hear
the announcement of the end of the
race. He flew around the track three
times before he was finally caught
through the megaphone and informed
that the race was over.
All in all, the day was a great sue
cess and the bulk of the credit is due
to DR.. Hand for making it So While
the program was not strictly speaking
Il Y. NJ. c. A. affair throughout, it
was understood to be largely under
the auspices of that institution.
Dr. Hand wishes to express public
ly his thanks to the supervisors and
Caretaker Young for putting the track
! in order and permitting the use of the
band, and to the officers and others
who kindly assisted in making the
! day and enjoyable and successful one.
