The motor-paced race was a hummer
from start to finish. All seemed to be
in good form, and. although Collins and
Wiley were ] apped-changing wheels
owing to p%unctures was the chief cause
for this--at ten miles, Wiley and Butler
were fighting 1t nip and tuck. The
former. while going at top speed, pune
tured his front wheel and toppled head
first over the handle-bars. He was not
badly injured, however, and he
pluckily resumed after changing his
wheel. It happened at the most in
opportune time, for he would probably
have had first place tucked away with
out the help of the judges.
Mounting his new wheel, the SYRIA
cuse lac jumped Immediately. and at
fifteen miles he regained one OF his lost
laps. At the same time Butler lost his
pace for the first time. At sixteen and

another lap. While all these happen

rather easy, and he was Tapped about
two and a half miles.
Wiley was a lap behind at the finish,
but the judges claimed he was on even
terms with Butler. The latter did not
protest. however, and cheerfully dis
mounted his wheel and went to his
dressing-room. It was certainly poor
work on the part of the cycling Of

The two-mile open was easy for AL

dence. He finished about twenty-five
yards to the good over his nearest
rival. Frank Blatz. the amateur title
