The Omaha Wheel club aas probably a
many fast men within its ranks proportions
ate to its membership as any organization in
the country. Several of them made century
runs in 1SS9. Penbody , Mittancr , Townsend
and Potorfield scored US miles In the first
run and Bacon , Head and Urlau an even 100
on the second. The feat performed by Pea
body and Schnoll in making the trip to Lin
coln and return in ono day has never
been equalled. Tbo distance via the
route they run was u trillo over 141 miles
nnd they had a strong headwind to contend
with the ontirc distance thence. This run
will not bo equalled in all likelihood in manv
a dov. Drain of Lincoln vows ho will beat It
this summer , but if ho does bo will be the
most played out sewer Drain I mean , in
this part of the country.
