THE COURIER.
THE MERCHANTS DAY MEET.
The Big Merchants Day meet is over
and Lincoln' wheelmen and wheeiwomen
are happy; happy in the knowledge that
the racing men of the club have once
more redeemed themselves and kept the
big end of the prizes at home.
The parade of cyclists in the morning
was decidedly the featuro of the demon
stration, the ladies turning out in force
in costume. Every style of wheel was
in the procession from the modern tan
dem way back to the old ordinary on
which Eb Mockctt used to win prizes
and glory in the old days at Bohanan
Hall, and an ancient Eagle which
brought up the rear.
Only about 123 or so wheels were in
line. This caused consideiable com
ment aa many supposed there would be
at least fivo hundred in the procession.
To wheelmen the 6inall numbers that
usually enter a mixed parade, is no sur
prise. Slow riding is even to an expert
rider very difficult and it is only the
more expert riders that can successfully
pilot his or her wheel along the street
at the snails pace which all mixed
parades set. It was greatly to the
credit of the ladies in line that so many
of theui proved proficient enough to
finish the march.
The afternoon was taken up by the
races at the park. And races they
were. Races that developed speed and
surprises in every event. Omaha,
Grand Island. Kearney, York, Beatrice
and Plattsmouth fast men were in at
tendance but with the single exception
of Pixley of Omaha they went homo
without a first and he did not win by
riding, being awarded Iir6t on account
of Hayman's being barred on a claim of
foul.
Sullivan and McBride make a great
tandem team.
McGreer of York is a pretty rider and
ought to make a record.
Alva llalley and Frank McCain ar
rived home in time for the meet. They
report an enjoyable trip.
The track received many compliments
from the racing men from abroad.
Pixley of Omaha found time to cry
"foul' before he made up his mind to
faint.
Tho Journal made a great bull in
giving the one third mile ordinary to
Faust. Shader won it by rods.
Eb Mockeft"s winnings were about
evened up by the loss of his trunk
which was stolen from his dressing
booth.
The two mile handicap was a beaut
and was won by Bailey in fino form,
Benson being a close second and show
ing good riding.
McBride demonstrated his ability to
ride in the mile open Class A, beating
Hayman and Frederickson, two of the
fastest men in the state. Mc is all
right when Le gets dowa tc busiues3.
Tho ordinary race between C. L.
Shader and Faust was a novelty and
one that warmed the cockles in the
hearts of the old timers. Shader had
a cinch from the start and it was almost
a walk away for him.
Harry Mullhall, Sandy Griswold,
CharlieThomas.T.W. Stevenson, C E.
Pegan, W, L. Dickey, Will Barmen, G.
W. Crandall, H. Herbert Moore, C. E.
Babcock, H. J. Garner and Geo. Ran
dall were down with the Omaha dele
gation cf racing men.
The Wanderers held another meeting
last Tuesday evening at the home of
Mrs. F. T. Dean, 1013 South ICth street
at which several new members were ad
mitted. The next meeting will be held
on next Tuesday ni Jht.
The Capital City bojs need to taka
some lessons on tho conduct of track
events, elso they may meet the objection
that "you don't know how to pull off a
race'' when they ask for the state meet
of the L. . W. There was no jarring,
but entirely too much time was lost
between events.
Walt Hunter should decidedly go
into training. The way he rode in the
bunch in the quarter miin class B was
a revelation to most of the spectators
and showed him to be possessed of far
more than average speed. It wub the
openly declared opinion of a number of
the old track men that had ho been
lucky enough to have received tho
proper kind of a start, ho would un
doubtedly have como in second and
given Mockett a close call for first.
