Hot Springs yesterday and besides splintering the quartermile record for Utah did some of the hottest and most spectacular riding that bas been seen beneath the shadows of Moroni In many many days The weather was fashioned for a bicycle bi-cycle meet for the sun glimmered in a garrish and yellow way through a sheet of azure and sent fleecy clouds I careening like a strange regatta before I be-fore a background of blue And either it was the fair weather of the speedy racing of a few days aero that was n good thing to conjure with for Bill I Rishel had the ecstatic bliss of seeing a crowd of over 1000 people thronged I along the bleachers and in the grandstand grand-stand And it was the star of the Salt Lake I flyers that was in theascendant Tod Caine was the particular trojan who monopolized the honors of war It was I the white sweatei Caine who hammered ham-mered his to the front in the way te quar I termile professional and shatterel the former record by reducing it to 31 flat He also won in a hard drilling battle with Jensen the twomile professional handicap the only other contest in which he competed The quartermile bout was run off twice as Caine and Fowler in the first heat finished at a dead heat but in the next skirmish the tall and callow youth with the attenu ted legs and pale face ran away from the Ogdenite in a canter EMORY DEFEATS HASSARD Emory again lowered Hassards colors col-ors by taking from him the threemile unpaced which was the last race in rce the series of three in which the two flyers have been battling for supremacy su-premacy THE DENVER FLYER Becker the Denver flyer did some of his prettiest pacing but he did not succeed in carrying away the cantload of laurels which fell to him at the last I meet In the twomile handicap which everyone expected the Denver athlete to win easily Emory in a hard close I struggle plunged past him and won by half a wheel But the speedy Den verite was net left in the cold sleuths of disappointment for he raced away easily from his competitors in the quarter mile amateur OGDENS HARD LUCK There was mourning and the crust of despair and sackcloth and ashes for Ogden In the relay between the Junction Junc-tion City youths and the Zionites the visitors were demolished and served up on a large platter They suffered an unlocked for and overwhelming collapse and ended the second heat of I the relay racewith almost a mile and I a quarter of alkali track separating them from the Salt Lakers They suffered I suf-fered a second disaster when Cortez was disqualified from further racing on the track on account of his failing to race appear after being entered In the relay THE NOVICE After a few melodies by Helds band Bill Rishel swung the huge megaphone mega-phone in the direction of the grandstand grand-stand and announced that novices would compete in a onemile race Eight ambitious young wheelmen were shoved away at the crack of the pistol pis-tol and before they had finished a lap i was apparent that some of them were greatly in need of more pushing They reeled along in swaying and unsteady un-steady groups and one or two brand new novices looked like theywere going I go-ing to mingle their brightcolored vestments vest-ments with alkali Beam pushed himself him-self away from the bunch at the beginning be-ginning of the last lap and remained there to the end of the race The only serious opposition he had was from Bowman who finished second Brazier third Time 233 45 ONETHIRD MILE Amateurs then competed for one third of a mile and a sold watch I resulted in a victory for Becker the Denver boy but Ida made him struggle strug-gle for first place a he had not had to struggle before since he began crossing swords with the Zion pacers Half way round the last lao Beckers green suit swept past the local men Lawver got locked on the stretch and was out of the race Emery was in the rear Suddenly Lidays head went down over his charger and with a I beautiful sprint he came dashing along I j by the Denver mans wheel and the two plunged together over the tape I plung Hassard finished with only half a foot Hasard fnishe third Time45 25 QUARTERMOLE PROFESSIONAL I There was a hot and gingery contest Tere wa I for the quartermile professional I j was a wild dash for position from the j I start The entries were Caine Fowler I Papa Smith T S Jensen and Collin son Papa Smith got the backset of I a bad start and did not finish the race Caine by an adroit flank move re ment took possession of the pole On the stretc Caine put some space between be-tween his wheel and the pursuing chargers but Fowler with a gush of steam and speed gradually closed in and the two came surging over the tape like a single wheelman with Collinson a lazy third The judges called i a I tie for first place When the race was run off for a final decision Caine led out a length and a quarter and gradually gradu-ally increased the distance until the tape was crossed The last heat was finished in 31 fat and the record could have been made still lower i Caine had not loitered at the finish The first contest occupied 32 25 TWOMILE AMATEUR The twomile amateur handicap was contested for by 13 flyers Hassard did not enter and Becker of Denver was the only scratch man The handicaps were O E Emory 50 yards C H Cutting Cut-ting and B H Lawyer 100 yards H S Tucker and Arthur LIday 200 yards W L and R F Brandon W L Lum ston Brazer and Bowman 225 yards and De Wolfe of Ogden 100 yards The race began with a false start and Bill Rishel yelled loudly through the megaphone mega-phone for the racers to return They got off successfully in the second attempt at-tempt and Becker led off from the start like a Texas whirlwind Qn the first lap he captured Emory who immediately im-mediately tacked onto his wheel and remained tifere The other racers sped tiere along in three bunches with Lawyer and Liday leading the scratch man a few yards On the fifth lap they were captured by Becker and Emory and a pretty struggle for position began On the stretch Becker got away from his opponent but just then Emory jumped over and battled his way in an exciting excit-ing finish to first place Lawyer third Time 444 25 25TE KIDS At this point a race between a coterie co-terie of tender youths under 16 years was sandwiched in The boys were W Haig of Salt Lake scratch William Dye of Dubois Ida 150 yards J B Edmunds Ken Caine and V Jensen I 4 F Geiger of Salt Lake 250 yards Ed munds took a long lead as the pistol fred and floated far away from the rest of the youths and did not cease to float awav until he came in with many yards of alkali to spare Interest centered around Caine and Jensen by reason of the bicycle distinction which cluster round the name They remained re-mained together through the course but little Caine succeeded in pushing succeee nis pedals hard enough to beat Jensen by a few inches MILE TANDEM In the mile tandrm riie1 wherein Cutting and Liday were pitted against Hassard and Rippeto the tandem riders alternately set the pace Cutting Cut-ting and Liday stole away on the stretch and the other tandem did not reach within speaking distance of them The time was 225 25 TWOMILE PROFESSIONAL I The twomile professional handicap was looked upon as the chief attraction attrac-tion on the bills and i did not prove a I disappointment Proudfit of Ogden I did not enter and the only competitors were T S Jensen Tad Caine I scratch men W P Fowler and M Collinson 75 yards and Smith 110 yards Caine and Jensen started together to-gether with Caine setting the pace I At the end of the first lap Smiths wheel got out of order and he retired I The scratch men were soon hugging Fowler and Collinson and until the unt last lap they loafed lazily around the I trail Then Caine took the pole and Jensen swung to the outside Together i To-gether they swung down the stretch I but although Jensen made a beautiful ful struggle he could not extinguish Caine They finished almost neck and neck with Collinson a close third The time was 55825 Theconsolation race came next and I was won easily by Brown of Ogden Hulmston got second place and Bowman Bow-man was an indifferent third Then Emory and Hassard battled for the final heat in their series o three I was a threemile unpaced match and the starts were made from opposite sides of the track The race went on evenly and the two warriors zigzagged in losses and gains After that Has I sard visibly weakened and Emory slowly and surely lessened the distance between them and came in at the end I of the ninth lap a winner by six seconds sec-onds Emorys time was 748 45 THE RELAY The most exciting of the races followed fol-lowed I was the relay between the 1 Ogden and Salt Lake Hyers The entries en-tries for

to I the extent of several hundred yards Hassard and Dee and then Emory and j Hulmston followed Hassard ran faraway I far-away from his adversary and overtook i him on the last lap amid wild demonstrations dem-onstrations from the crowd Although j I the starters of Hulmston made the mistake of setting him off with Emory instead of waiting for Dee the slaughter slaugh-ter of the Ogden men continued and j the Salt Lakers won by a lap and a j quarter The time of the Zionites was i 1225 one minute and four seconds ahead of the men from the north THE COWBOYS I The cowboys again held high
