Arizona republican., 1913-09-13
It was a fine meet.


 Paul Heating, the Prescott rider, and winner of the famous Loop race there on July did himself and his twin in dian mount a greatsdeal of honor, talk ing the ten and fifteen mile races, and incidentally making the fastest mile ever accomplished on an Arizona track by a tWo-Wheeled machine. The last lap of the ten mile grind when he passed Curley Thomas on the twin FX- Celsior in the stretch and finished first after long struggle was negotiated in fifty-five seconds. which although un- official remains the record of the days work
 From the kid bike race to the longest grind Of the motorcycles, the meet was a success. It is estimated that two thausond people saw the speedsters at their exciting work. and the treasury of the motorcycle club shows an ap- preciable gain toward the amount need ed for the San Diego to Phoenix motor cycle road race which will finish here the day before the state fair begins Under the excellent supervision of Ref cree c. F. Bullard and his corps of able assistants, the meet went off with snap and zip that was pleasing to wit ness.
 The work of Heating on his twin In jun was somewhat a surprise. although after Charles Gardner. Heating was considered the leader both in riding ability and in mount CurIey Thomas. the Los Angeles professional admitted after having broken the track record for the mile on Keating's machine that II was the best stock machine he had hpCtTj66an mile was 5612 seconds, or a second and a half better than the official record. which has stood since established by Gardner last fair time
 There were no time trials for singles, but several of the one-lungers beat the mark of 1:04 in their circuits
 The feature race of the meet was the ten mile trial. Heating won this event by a splendid dash in the last quarter or the last lap.

For the ten cir cults, Curly maintained about a hund- red yard lead over the rider of the blue savage As they came around the last turn, Heating swung wide, CurIev keen ing the pole, and then a marvellous thing happened. As though the Ex was still. Keat passed here, taking the lead barely ten yards from the finish wire and gaining just enough to give him 2 clean cut victory. The winner admitted that on the last turn was the first time he had dared to hold the speed marvel open T was afraid of her until I saw Curley running away with the race.

 lap was 55 seconds Considering the soft condition of the track this is splendid time. In spite of all the eff forts of Superintendent Akin, the track was dusty in places and the machines skidded on all the turns Still in view of the fact that the track was pIowed not month back. the time of sixty five miles an honr as the average is wonderful. The super promises that the track will be the best in the wide world for the gee gees at the state fair, and on auto day with the cushion raked off, it ought to be just like glass.
