THE SPORTING LIFE CYCLING DEPARTMENT. VOLUME 10. PHILADELPHIA, PA., MAY 28, 1892. NUMBER 9. THE RELAY RACE. FROM CSICAGO TO NEW YORK IN RAIN AND STORM. Impassable Roads Delay the Plucky Riders For Many Hours-A Wonderful Feat. NEW YORK, May li.—The Chicago (o New York rcluy race was finished at City Hall at 4 minutes and 48 seconds past 1 o'clock on Monday morning, the last relay leaving Tarrytown at !>:-ll P. M. They were, therefore, nearlyfourtcen hours late, as the time scheduled for their arrival was 11:15 A. >t. , The trip took 4 days, 12 hours, 4 minutes aud 48 seconds. THE FINISH. W. S. Campbell bore the message, accom- panied by A. R. Rich and J. L. Quick. All day at the Franklin House these men hiul been awaiting the relay from SSing Sing. H. Eveland, who left Croton Landing at 8:06 P. St., gave out completely at Sing Sing, and George Smith, of the Riverside Wheelmen, rode in to within six miles of Tarrytown, where L. D. Muuger met him. M linger took the packet and carried it to Tarrytowu,where he delivered it to Campbell, and the race to New York City through the downpour of rain began. The message was 12 hours and 26 minutes late at Turrytown. THE START was made promptly at noon Wednesday, in froutofths Pullman Building, on Michigan avenue, Chicago. Wilh a "God speed" from Gen. N. A. Miles the first relay, bearing the message in a rubber pouch suspended from the neck, started to deliver it to Gen. O. 0. Howard at the City Hall, New York. THE LETTER. "HEADQUAKTEH8 DEPARTMENT OF THE MISSOURI, Chicatro, 111., May 18,1892. Major General 0. O. Howard, Commanding Depart ment of the East, Governor's Island, N. Y. Harbor-—General: I have the honor to com- municate the following: "Colonel A. A. Pope, of Boston; Messrs. N. H. Van Sicklen, F. W. Gerould and L. J. Bcrger, of Chicago, and several other gentle- men who take an interest in the cycle, have established a line of couriers between Chicago and New York. "At noon to-day this communication leaves these headquarters, and will l>e delivered to you at your headquarters in New York. "It is due to apprise you of the fa?t that (luring the last few weeks this region of the country has been deluged by a most unusual rain-fall, which has raised many of the water courses above their hanks, inundated large tracts of land, and some of the country roads are saturated to such a degree as to render transportation over them difficult, and in ueh condition that military manoeuvres would be considered almost impracticable. "This trial is therefore made under the mo$t adverse circumstances, yet with forti- tude undaunted the enterprise will be at- tempted by n class of the most intelligent athletic young gentlemen, regardless of the difficulties to be overcome. "Experience and observation have demon- itrcted the fact that this means of locomotion baa been useful ant]- beneficial, promoting the health, welfare and happiness of those in civil life, and it can be utilized for military purposes with great advantage. It is not only a means of conveying an individual with great rapidity over the country, but can be used in manceuverinj; large bodies of men over a wide extent of country, and the result of this trial will domonstrate one feature of Its military advantages. Very respectfully. NELSON A. MILES, Major General U. S. A." A hundred riders had shared in the under- taking of carrying the bit of paper from General Miles in Chicago to the hands of the military aids who waited at No.21 Park Row. Sometimes they spun along at a three- minute gait, as did Charles Dorntge, who made ten miles in thirty-one minutes, and in the dark at that; or Colliusand Johnson, of Cleveland, with their fast runs. Sometimes plowed through a slough of despond and mud at an ox team's pace. Sometimes compelled to leave the machine mired and broken and ran on foot to the next relay, and occatiou- aJly compelled to swim a. river where the Bwollen tioods had carried the bridge away. Broken sprockets and bent pedal pins, buckled wheels and punctured tires were mne of the incidents of the race against time, thanks to the unprecedented and altogether execrable weather encountered. While levees nnd bridges were going down and railroad companies were posting scouts along their lines to look for washouts, the wheelmen stuck to their task, plunging and sliding along the npology for a highway, the Ameri- can country road. One of the things which the undertaking was to illustrate was the general DEPRAVITY OF AMERICAN ROADS, and this it most certainly accomplished when compared with similar European feats. Another thing it has proved is the absolute untrnstworthiness of the American climate. The race managers consulted weather reports as far back as man's memory goes and picked out the present part of May as the one pe- riod when it was sure to be pleasant, and yet as the affair has turned out they oould not have found a worse term of four days if they had searched the calendar through. Yet a third point, which has been enioha- sized by the occurrence, is the enthusiastic interest which the average American takes in an exhibition of speed mid endurance. Along the lonely stretches of country rond, through bo;;s, morasses anil sandy dwerts the swift I y:speeding or slowly struggling despatch- beareis were met by wondering spectators whose open-mouth astonishment gave way to unbounded admiration when they learned what was being done. Thousands of citizens of five of the greatest States in the Union were .-iwakcned by actual observation to a realizing sense of the usefulness of the machine against which so many had held an unreasonable prejudice for years. It was a triumphal tour of education, a ncver-euding ovation, a complete aud final yictory, a realization of THE DAY DREAMS of Albert Pope. At C'onneaut, O., the only case of malicious interference occurred. Some ruffian stuck a knife into the pneumatic tires ot both the riders and let the wind out of them. Other machines were secured, however, after a short delay. The schedule arranged culled for an average speed of ten miles an hour For ihc first few stages the men kept well up to the schedule, and sometimes ahead of it. Then the terrible mud of Indiana and Ohio began to clo;; their wheels, and they fell'be- hind. At Perrysburg, 2.TO miles out, they were 6 hours and 27 minutes behind. At Con- ncaut, 423 miles from Chicago, they were only 41 hours and 3 minutes behind. At Buf- falo all lost time hud been made up except one hour. But across New York 8tate Sat- urday the rains descended and the floods came, and they lost ground steadily. It was NOT A RACE Jn the ordinary acceptation of the word, bnl race agnirist time, u race of endurance and clean grit, through pelting rain and mini where the wheeN sank up to the pedals, and under such conditions the riders lost lime. They would have been more than human il they hadn't, for it must be remembered that the "storms through which they traveled the 875 miles over the coarse uliiiuit i>.;r:i!v/:td railway traffic in the West and delayed it everywhere. The message was left with the watchman of the government steamer, Chester A. Ar- thur, by Lieutenant Treat ou Monday night, when he found that the Governor's Island boat had left before he arrived, and it was de- livered to General 0. O. Howard at his office on the island early Tuesday morning. General Howard said to-day that consider- ing the prevailing unfavorable circumstances the trip was made in remarkably quick time. Iu answer to the message General Howard semfo by mail the following letter to General Miles. General—Your communication by line of cycle couriers was delivered at its destination abont'1 A. M. this A. M. "The details of hardship, the endurance aud the VICTORIES OF THE COURIERS are in the ilaily press." Upon learning of the result of the ride by .vire General Miles expressed himself as fol- ows: "I consider this a wonderful enterprise. It oes far beyond confirming uiy previous opinion of tho MILITARY VALUE OF THK BICYCLE. "I wish to pay a special tribute to the pa- triotism nnd fortitude of the youne men who carried the messages through under such try- ing conditions. A regiment of infantry could not make over ten miles a day under similar circumstances, twenty miles a day be- ing considered a good march. Cavalry troops would not have made any progress, but would have been mired and been, obliged to go into camp." He spoke of the famous rand march of General Burnside's army in 18G'2-63,when one hundred thousand meu tried unsuccessfully to make a flank movement at the Rappahan- nook River, and, bcin» caught in storm,were forced to return to Fredericksburg after a journey of twenty miles. THK SCHEDULE AND THE RIDERS. In many caves the railroad tracks were used by the men in preference to the roads. The schedule of the times of the riders vras carefully arranged, but it was found to be impossible to adhere to it, as while one relay would lose time another would make it up, so that in many instances waiting crowds were disappointed. At Conneaut, 0., the men were four hours late, yet when Buffalo was reached ouly one hour was to be made up. The ride through New York State was marked by bad weather and muddy roads.

The following notice needs no explanation. We hope that the munificence of the offer may be the means of identifying the perpe- trators of the cowardly acts. The Pope Manufacturing Company, al.way! alive lo the interests of cyclers and of good government, deserves great credit for its prompt pud generous offer, which reads: "Two hundred and fifty dollars will be paid for the APPREHENSION AND CONVICTION of the person or persons who maliciously stretched barbed wire across the path of the bicyclers in the relay race from Chicago to New York on or about May 18, 19, 20 or 21. "A like reward will be paid for the nppre tension and conviction of the person or per sons who maliciously injured or attempted to INJURE THE KIDEIIS or the bicycles used in said relay race with the object of seriously delaying or interfer- ing with the carrying of thp message of Major Geu.

AUSTRALIAN RECORDS. Broadbont Knocks theTimeOut of the 25, 5O and 1OO Mile Figures. MELBOURNE, April 12. On Wednesday last George Broadbent broke the 25 and 50 mile records, over a course from Mortlakc to P.irron Yallock, his times being Hi. 23m. and 2h. 54*m. respectively, or 4m. nnd 4im. lower than the old records. As there was a bad wind, Broadbent did not L'o any further, but determined to have another try under more favorable conditions. THE NEW FIGURES. Two days later he started again, and this time was successful in getting below the pre- vious best up to 100 miles. He covered the 25 miles in Ih. 20m., 50 miles in 2h.48}m., and the 100 miles in 6h. 4}m. The old records were: 25 miles, Ih. 27m.; 50 miles, 2h. 59m., and 100 miles, 6h. 20m. It will thus he seen that the old 25 miles has been reduced by 7m., the 50 miles by lOJm., and the 100 miles by 15Jm. The 100 miles was ridden at an average of 1CJ miles an hour a performance which speaks for itself, and which still further proves, if any such proof were want- ing, (hat George Broadbent is the best road rider we have iu Australia.

Having received orders to be present at Paddington last night (Tuesday, May 10,) to time A. T. Mole for the half-mile safety re- cord, the N.C. U. official duly turned up, but owing to the strong northeast wind no at- tempt was made; but, as on leaving the ground a tandem safety flashed by at a good pace, the watch was put in for a flying quar- ter-mile, which showed 3C l-5s., or a heating of 1 3-5s. They were at once stopped, and the result being a start was made with two pace- makers for a mile, but owing to some misun- derstanding they stopped at the three-quar- ters, instead of completing the full mile, the result being that the records got badly knocked. The tandem safety of Cocks, ot Ealing, was ridden by J. Wass (steerer), Ar- gus B. C., and J. N. Still, Argosy B. C., the times being taken by Pern.

Baily, president of the Citizens' Municipal Association, had a narrow escape from serious injury on Friday evening. About 8:30 o'clock he left his country resi- dence at Lnnsdowne to call on his business partner, Henry J. Davis, who lives about a mile distant. As he was crossing the road iu front of his house he was STRUCK BY A BICYCLE, ridden by Abraham L. Pennock, the 16-year- old sou ot a well-known Lnnsdowne florist. Mr. Baily was struck with such violence that hu thrown several feet, and while prostrate the front wheel of the machine ran into him, tearing his overcoat and inflicting a unmber of bruises on his body. He also received a severe cut on his left arm. Dr. Matthew J. Grier, who attended to Mr. Baily's injuries, said that bad it uot been for the presence of a pocket-book iu his pocket a number of ribs would in all likelihood have been broken. There was no light on young Pennock's bicycle when the accident happened, and he says he was riding at full speed a* the time, to overtake a wheelman who preceded him, from whom he wanted to get n light. He and his father expressed their sorrow at the unfortunate accident, and Mr. Baily accepted their apologies. Fast Riding in England at the Cat- ford Road Handicap. But the event of the day was the extraor- dinary time made by the triplet safety, with the same old crew Dangerfield, W. AV. Ar- nott and Howe aboard. They went at a terrific pace, nnd strong men held their breath at the corners. But Dangerfield has thoroughly mustered the steering of the craft and piloteditsafi'lythrough. Someideaof the pace may be gathered from the time for the 25 miles Ih. 14m. 21s.! or over 5{m. inside the single machine record for thecourse made on the same day. I believe Dangerfield & Co. would be willing to give any man now riding five minutes iu 100 miles at a moment's notice. The only objection to the triplet seems to be that yon can't have pace-makers. You see, you can't spare the time to wait for them to catch up again every mile or two, and nobody can go fast enough on a single machine to lead the triplet very far. British Sport. HARTFORD'S MEET. An Effort to Be Made on a Triplet to Break Maud S.'s Record. HARTFORD, May 21. The race committee ot the Columbia and Colt clubs are negoti- ating with three of the fastest riders in the country to ride a triplet tandem against the Maud S. record of 2:08i. Recently, in Eng- land 2:10 was accomplished on the road un- der favorable circumstances. It is thought that with a good day and track Muud S.'s time can be beaten. A new race has been added to the pro- gramme of tho second day, which will be open only to the city military. It will be a one-mile safety, aud two elegant prizes will be offered.

THE RELAY RACE.FROM CSICAGO TO NEW YORK IN RAIN

AND STORM.

Impassable Roads Delay the PluckyRiders For Many Hours-A

Wonderful Feat.NEW YORK, May li.—The Chicago (o New

York rcluy race was finished at City Hall at 4 minutes and 48 seconds past 1 o'clock on Monday morning, the last relay leaving Tarrytown at !>:-ll P. M.

They were, therefore, nearlyfourtcen hours late, as the time scheduled for their arrival was 11:15 A. >t. ,

The trip took 4 days, 12 hours, 4 minutes aud 48 seconds.

THE FINISH.W. S. Campbell bore the message, accom­

panied by A. R. Rich and J. L. Quick. All day at the Franklin House these men hiul been awaiting the relay from SSing Sing. H. Eveland, who left Croton Landing at 8:06 P. St., gave out completely at Sing Sing, and George Smith, of the Riverside Wheelmen, rode in to within six miles of Tarrytown, where L. D. Muuger met him. M linger took the packet and carried it to Tarrytowu,where he delivered it to Campbell, and the race to New York City through the downpour of rain began. The message was 12 hours and 26 minutes late at Turrytown.

THE STARTwas made promptly at noon Wednesday, in froutofths Pullman Building, on Michigan avenue, Chicago. Wilh a "God speed" from Gen. N. A. Miles the first relay, bearing the message in a rubber pouch suspended from the neck, started to deliver it to Gen. O. 0. Howard at the City Hall, New York.

THE LETTER. "HEADQUAKTEH8 DEPARTMENT OF THE

MISSOURI, Chicatro, 111., May 18,1892. Major General 0. O. Howard, Commanding Depart­ ment of the East, Governor's Island, N. Y. Harbor-—General: I have the honor to com­ municate the following:

"Colonel A. A. Pope, of Boston; Messrs. N. H. Van Sicklen, F. W. Gerould and L. J. Bcrger, of Chicago, and several other gentle­ men who take an interest in the cycle, have established a line of couriers between Chicago and New York.

"At noon to-day this communication leaves these headquarters, and will l>e delivered to you at your headquarters in New York.

"It is due to apprise you of the fa?t that (luring the last few weeks this region of the country has been deluged by a most unusual rain-fall, which has raised many of the water courses above their hanks, inundated large tracts of land, and some of the country roads are saturated to such a degree as to render transportation over them difficult, and in ueh condition that military manoeuvres would be considered almost impracticable.

"This trial is therefore made under the mo$t adverse circumstances, yet with forti­ tude undaunted the enterprise will be at­ tempted by n class of the most intelligent athletic young gentlemen, regardless of the difficulties to be overcome.

"Experience and observation have demon- itrcted the fact that this means of locomotion baa been useful ant]- beneficial, promoting the health, welfare and happiness of those in civil life, and it can be utilized for military purposes with great advantage. It is not only a means of conveying an individual with great rapidity over the country, but can be used in manceuverinj; large bodies of men over a wide extent of country, and the result of this trial will domonstrate one feature of Its military advantages.

Very respectfully. NELSON A. MILES, Major General U. S. A."

A hundred riders had shared in the under­ taking of carrying the bit of paper from General Miles in Chicago to the hands of the military aids who waited at No.21 Park Row.

Sometimes they spun along at a three- minute gait, as did Charles Dorntge, who made ten miles in thirty-one minutes, and in the dark at that; or Colliusand Johnson, of Cleveland, with their fast runs. Sometimes plowed through a slough of despond and mud at an ox team's pace. Sometimes compelled to leave the machine mired and broken and ran on foot to the next relay, and occatiou- aJly compelled to swim a. river where the Bwollen tioods had carried the bridge away.

Broken sprockets and bent pedal pins, buckled wheels and punctured tires were mne of the incidents of the race against time, thanks to the unprecedented and altogether execrable weather encountered. While levees nnd bridges were going down and railroad companies were posting scouts along their lines to look for washouts, the wheelmen stuck to their task, plunging and sliding along the npology for a highway, the Ameri­ can country road. One of the things which the undertaking was to illustrate was the general

DEPRAVITY OF AMERICAN ROADS,and this it most certainly accomplished when compared with similar European feats.

Another thing it has proved is the absolute untrnstworthiness of the American climate. The race managers consulted weather reports as far back as man's memory goes and picked out the present part of May as the one pe­ riod when it was sure to be pleasant, and yet as the affair has turned out they oould not have found a worse term of four days if they had searched the calendar through.

Yet a third point, which has been enioha- sized by the occurrence, is the enthusiastic interest which the average American takes in an exhibition of speed mid endurance.

Along the lonely stretches of country rond, through bo;;s, morasses anil sandy dwerts the swift I y:speeding or slowly struggling despatch- beareis were met by wondering spectators whose open-mouth astonishment gave way to unbounded admiration when they learned what was being done. Thousands of citizens of five of the greatest States in the Union were .-iwakcned by actual observation to a realizing sense of the usefulness of the machine against which so many had held an unreasonable prejudice for years.

It was a triumphal tour of education, a ncver-euding ovation, a complete aud final yictory, a realization of

THE DAY DREAMSof Albert Pope.

At C'onneaut, O., the only case of malicious interference occurred. Some ruffian stuck a knife into the pneumatic tires ot both the riders and let the wind out of them. Other machines were secured, however, after a short delay. The schedule arranged culled for an average speed of ten miles an hour For ihc first few stages the men kept well up to the schedule, and sometimes ahead of it. Then the terrible mud of Indiana and Ohio began to clo;; their wheels, and they fell'be­ hind. At Perrysburg, 2.TO miles out, they were 6 hours and 27 minutes behind. At Con- ncaut, 423 miles from Chicago, they were only 41 hours and 3 minutes behind. At Buf­ falo all lost time hud been made up except one hour. But across New York 8tate Sat­ urday the rains descended and the floods came, and they lost ground steadily.

It wasNOT A RACE

Jn the ordinary acceptation of the word, bnl race agnirist time, u race of endurance and clean grit, through pelting rain and mini where the wheeN sank up to the pedals, and under such conditions the riders lost lime. They would have been more than human il they hadn't, for it must be remembered that the "storms through which they traveled the 875 miles over the coarse uliiiuit i>.;r:i!v/:td

railway traffic in the West and delayed it everywhere.

The message was left with the watchman of the government steamer, Chester A. Ar­ thur, by Lieutenant Treat ou Monday night, when he found that the Governor's Island boat had left before he arrived, and it was de­ livered to General 0. O. Howard at his office on the island early Tuesday morning.

General Howard said to-day that consider­ ing the prevailing unfavorable circumstances the trip was made in remarkably quick time.

Iu answer to the message General Howard semfo by mail the following letter to General Miles.

General—Your communication by line of cycle couriers was delivered at its destination abont'1 A. M. this A. M.

"The details of hardship, the endurance aud the

VICTORIES OF THE COURIERSare in the ilaily press."

Upon learning of the result of the ride by .vire General Miles expressed himself as fol- ows:"I consider this a wonderful enterprise. It

oes far beyond confirming uiy previous opinion of tho

MILITARY VALUE OF THK BICYCLE."I wish to pay a special tribute to the pa­

triotism nnd fortitude of the youne men who carried the messages through under such try­ ing conditions. A regiment of infantry could not make over ten miles a day under similar circumstances, twenty miles a day be­ ing considered a good march. Cavalry troops would not have made any progress, but would have been mired and been, obliged to go into camp."

He spoke of the famous rand march of General Burnside's army in 18G'2-63,when one hundred thousand meu tried unsuccessfully to make a flank movement at the Rappahan- nook River, and, bcin» caught in storm,were forced to return to Fredericksburg after a journey of twenty miles.

THK SCHEDULE AND THE RIDERS.In many caves the railroad tracks were

used by the men in preference to the roads. The schedule of the times of the riders vras

carefully arranged, but it was found to be impossible to adhere to it, as while one relay would lose time another would make it up, so that in many instances waiting crowds were disappointed. At Conneaut, 0., the men were four hours late, yet when Buffalo was reached ouly one hour was to be made up. The ride through New York State was marked by bad weather and muddy roads.

A complete schedule follow s, showing riders, distance and time made:

AUSTRALIAN RECORDS.

Broadbont Knocks theTimeOut of the 25, 5O and 1OO Mile Figures.

MELBOURNE, April 12. On Wednesday last George Broadbent broke the 25 and 50 mile records, over a course from Mortlakc to P.irron Yallock, his times being Hi. 23m. and 2h. 54*m. respectively, or 4m. nnd 4im. lower than the old records. As there was a bad wind, Broadbent did not L'o any further, but determined to have another try under more favorable conditions.

THE NEW FIGURES.Two days later he started again, and this

time was successful in getting below the pre­ vious best up to 100 miles. He covered the 25 miles in Ih. 20m., 50 miles in 2h.48}m., and the 100 miles in 6h. 4}m. The old records were: 25 miles, Ih. 27m.; 50 miles, 2h. 59m., and 100 miles, 6h. 20m. It will thus he seen that the old 25 miles has been reduced by 7m., the 50 miles by lOJm., and the 100 miles by 15Jm. The 100 miles was ridden at an average of 1CJ miles an hour a performance which speaks for itself, and which still further proves, if any such proof were want­ ing, (hat George Broadbent is the best road rider we have iu Australia.

- NEW TANDEM RECORDS

Made at Paddiiigton's Track by J. Wass and J. N. Still.

Having received orders to be present at Paddington last night (Tuesday, May 10,) to time A. T. Mole for the half-mile safety re­ cord, the N.C. U. official duly turned up, but owing to the strong northeast wind no at­ tempt was made; but, as on leaving the ground a tandem safety flashed by at a good pace, the watch was put in for a flying quar­ ter-mile, which showed 3C l-5s., or a heating of 1 3-5s. They were at once stopped, and the result being a start was made with two pace­ makers for a mile, but owing to some misun­ derstanding they stopped at the three-quar­ ters, instead of completing the full mile, the result being that the records got badly knocked. The tandem safety of Cocks, ot Ealing, was ridden by J. Wass (steerer), Ar­ gus B. C., and J. N. Still, Argosy B. C., the times being taken by Pern.

KNOCKED DOWN BY A BICYCLE.

A Well-known Philadelphia Mer­ chant Run Into and Injured.

Joel J. Baily, president of the Citizens' Municipal Association, had a narrow escape from serious injury on Friday evening. About 8:30 o'clock he left his country resi­ dence at Lnnsdowne to call on his business partner, Henry J. Davis, who lives about a mile distant. As he was crossing the road iu front of his house he was

STRUCK BY A BICYCLE, ridden by Abraham L. Pennock, the 16-year- old sou ot a well-known Lnnsdowne florist. Mr. Baily was struck with such violence that hu thrown several feet, and while prostrate the front wheel of the machine ran into him, tearing his overcoat and inflicting a unmber of bruises on his body. He also received a severe cut on his left arm.

Dr. Matthew J. Grier, who attended to Mr. Baily's injuries, said that bad it uot been for the presence of a pocket-book iu his pocket a number of ribs would in all likelihood have been broken.

There was no light on young Pennock's bicycle when the accident happened, and he says he was riding at full speed a* the time, to overtake a wheelman who preceded him, from whom he wanted to get n light. He and his father expressed their sorrow at the unfortunate accident, and Mr. Baily accepted their apologies.

Fast Riding in England at the Cat- ford Road Handicap.

But the event of the day was the extraor­ dinary time made by the triplet safety, with the same old crew Dangerfield, W. AV. Ar- nott and Howe aboard. They went at a terrific pace, nnd strong men held their breath at the corners. But Dangerfield has thoroughly mustered the steering of the craft and piloteditsafi'lythrough. Someideaof the pace may be gathered from the time for the 25 miles Ih. 14m. 21s.! or over 5{m. inside the single machine record for thecourse made on the same day. I believe Dangerfield & Co. would be willing to give any man now riding five minutes iu 100 miles at a moment's notice. The only objection to the triplet seems to be that yon can't have pace-makers. You see, you can't spare the time to wait for them to catch up again every mile or two, and nobody can go fast enough on a single machine to lead the triplet very far. British Sport.

HARTFORD'S MEET.

An Effort to Be Made on a Triplet to Break Maud S.'s Record.

HARTFORD, May 21. The race committee ot the Columbia and Colt clubs are negoti­ ating with three of the fastest riders in the country to ride a triplet tandem against the Maud S. record of 2:08i.
