j cyclists of Ithe country with the exception i ex-ception of the very few cash prize pro j fessionals whose wants are not provided pro-vided for in this instance were on hand today at the National Circuit I tournament which began this afternoon after-noon alt the onethird mile track on the south side I The meeting is being held under the joint management of the Chicago Athletic I Ath-letic association and the Associated Cycling clubs The flyers in attend I j ance include E C Bald possibly the fastest mile man of the time C M Murphy Ray McDonald F J Titus L C and E C Johnson L D Ca banne Arthur Gardner J P Bliss E C Coulter Tom Cooper Harry Maddox and a host of lesser lights and local class A men The track itoday was in fine shape and the weather promises to allow it to remain so The very hot temperature itended to apportion ap-portion it for record breaking Interest Inter-est in the races ifehis afternoon centered I largely in the five mile paced event I In which Titus Maddox and others were announced to start I Titus was fancied a little more I than the other men Both he and Maddox were in god form Gardner is yet suffering from the effects of his fall at South Bend and Cabanne has never fully recovered from his ace dent at Asbury Park The heats of the class A races were run this morning and the racing proper began at 2 oclock The feat of riding a mile in competition compe-tition in 158 15 accomplished by I Bald the class B leader was the par = c ticular event of the afternoon The heats of the one mile open race for class B three in number had sifted down to the fiyers until there remained re-mained Tom Cooper of Detroit Bald of Buffalo Coulter of Mansfield 0 Charley Murphy of Brooklyn L C Johnson A L Brown of Cleveland ad A D Kenedy of Chicago When the start was made Bald made a rush and hitched on first at the rear of the triplet that was to do the pacing pac-ing On the triplet were Githens Holmes and Levy and they ground out a warm pace from the start urI ur-I t phy Cooper and Brown followed Bald in order but the others were killed oft i almost at the start Pretty soon Doc i Brown gave it up and before the last I lap was fully under way Bald was j hanging tight to the wake of the triplet I trip-let and was leaving his competitors behind I I Going down the stretch he passed the pacemakers and finished alone i He knocked onefifth of a second off Johnsons Waltham time and it was clear that he could have reduced the record at least another second had the pacemakers remained at the head longer I Bald was the king of the meet and I he showed himself to be a peer at the I mile gait I The fivemile paced race for class B I I brought out a field of notables among whom the most likely were Titus Maddox I Mad-dox and Murphy At three miles the i procession had narrowed to Murphy i Maddox Titus and Monte Scott the i gait having been much too warm for Cabanne McDonald and Dacey while I Coulter and Decardy had come together I Couler I gether in a tumble in front of the I I stand At four miles only Murphy and I Titus were really in the race as Maddox I I Mad-dox had dropped out too tired to go further and Scott was being distanced by degrees i Two laps from home Titus went 1 ahead of Murphy and he won easily I him Mum I with no competition near I phy continued however and took seCond 1 sec-ond and Scott came along later for i third i The pacing was not particularly severe se-vere in this race and in reality Tyler was the only one of the field of starters 1 start-ers who showed to good advantage I and even then he was not forced beyond I be-yond a finish that was rather tame i Gus Steele the local diminutive flyer rode a mile paced against time in 155 and could have done better had i l the pacing been swifter 1 I About 2000 people saw the races and aside from Balds brilliant performance somewhat mance the programme was I dim IiI Ii-I The moro Important races for tomor mile for row are the onethin mie open class B onemile
