MARTIN FINISHED IN FRONT "WITH CARMICHAEL. SECOND AND PALM THIRD—CHRISTIAN SON HAD A WALKAWAY FOR THE FIRST PLACE PRIZE. Race Watt Robbed of Some of Its Charms by MlgmanaKement and Poor Police Supervision. Partly, perhaps, to the incompetency of the timers, partly to the superabun dance of "officials," who had nothing to do but wear badges, and partly to the inefficiency of the police protection at critical times, yesterday's road race at Lake Como was not the success that the weather promised. The crowd, however, saw an excit ing contest, and that was all it wanted, unless it was to see some particular favorite win, and then it went away happy, for at the close the scorers were tied in such a hard knot, that the first tidings, probably, most of the riders will have of the results, appears in the Globe this morning. The track was not an ideal one, and the sharp corners of the workhouse made macadam road punctured more than one tire before the race was done. The day, however, was ideal, and rid ers, as well as spectators, went into the event with an enthusiasm that rose superior to all deficiencies in the man agement of the race. For the first time prize there was one of the prettiest races that has ever been seen in the Northwest in a sim ilar event. The scratch men on the card were John B. Todd, John Lind berg. Charles A. Palm, I. T. Dugan, D. T. Carmichael, the Birds and W. J. Martin. S. E. Johnson was also en tered as a scratch man, but through some misunderstanding he was started with the minute and a half handicap class. It made no difference in the re sult, however, as he dropped out at the end of the fifth lap. They got away just before the largest handicap class had made its first cir cuit of the lake. The Birds did not start, but the other six were loosely bunched when they finished the first lap. Llnd berg was ahead. Palm, second; Car michael. third; Todd, fourth; Dugan, fifth, and Martin, sixth. At the second lap, however, Palm and ASSIGNEE SALE B|6Y6LeS NEW AND SECOND-HAND. Bicycle Sundries of every de scription: Caps, SiA/eeiter-s, QcHts, Lamps, Brushes, Pumps, Cement, Oils, Etc., Etc. SALE COMMENCES MONDAY MORNING, EVERYTHING GOES! J. Ft. BU^RICttTE^, Assignee. Thistle Cycle Co, 21, 23 and 25 W. Fourth St., ST. PAUL, Carmichael had both gone ahead of Lindberg. Martin was fourth, well back, and Todd was quite a bit behind. Around they went again, and when the scratch men showed up again In the bunch, Carmichael had shaken his former companions, and his blue shirt was out of sight in the turn before the rest of the scratch men crossed the tape. Palm was second, Lindberg third, and Martin fourth, while Dugan had dropped out, and Todd was so far be hind that Christianson, who had been given a handicap of five and three fourths minutes, had passed him. That threw Todd practically out of the race. The finish of the fourth lap showed new changes, however, for Carmichael had lost his lead and was trailing the scratch lot, with the exception of Todd, who was hopeless-dy behind. Palm was first, Lindberg second and M*artin third. This order was preserved all the way round, but on the finish of the sixth lap positions had again been changed somewhat, and while Palm was still in the lead, Carmichael had taken his second wind and was a close second, with Martin third, and Lind berg dropped back to fourth. In the final rush for the tape, Martin A. D. SMITH. aivl Carmichael both outfooted Palm, and while Martin passed both the oth ers, and made first, Carmichael passed Palm and held his second place. They were all in a bunch at the finish, and had the race been run in an open track, there might have been some pretty cycling done in the last hun dred yards. As it was, however, as soon as the place men, who finished first, crossed the tape, they dismounted and made their way back followed by small boys and children of a larger growth until Ott track at the tape was congested with pedestrians and ped al ->r?. The result was that instead of riding for a finish, the scratch men were pretty busy .saving their necks in the crowd. Ju the place congests, a young man nan>exl Christianson had everything his mvu .wax- The race was _ started around the turn beyond the pavilion. THE SAINT PAUL GLOBE: SUNDAY, JULY 26, 1896. the seven laps not being quite enough to make up the 16 miles. When the first bunch passed the finishing stand, Christianson had pulled ahead of his class, the 5:45 handicap class, and he was never headed, but even beat out Todd, of the scratch men, as he had nearly made the lap in the time of his handicap, before the last bunch was started. Ferguson led the second bunch and Paul Mayer got off in front of the 4:30 class. Adolf Voges led the four minute speeders, and Noble set a pace for the 3:30 outfit. Harris opened the ball for the three minute party, and J. W. Sam was at the front of the 2:30 bunch. Scheiber and Sudhelmer paced the. two and one-thirty classes respectively. After the first lap, however, none of them were ever close enough to Chris tianson to make that part of the race even interesting. Wiseman, who was also in the 5:45, or largest handicap class, made a good showing for second, but after the third lap, he had dropped back to third, being succeeded by Fred Johnson, who kept the place there after. The most exciting period of the race for the audience was at the finish of the fourth lap, when just after crossing the tape, H. E. Gooch and J. Boyd Wil son collided, and went in a heap in the track. They were closely followed by a double quartette of scorchers, and it was with difficulty that these threaded their way through the maze of wheels and mangled humanity without doub ling up the accidents, but they finally got through and the crowd breathed easier. Both Gooch and Wilson left the race, one for fouling, the other because he had had enough. W. H. Elbert, one of the two colored entries, went into a ditch on the east side of the lake on the first lap, and lost some ground, but he held to it to the finish. These, beyond the puncture of several tires, were the only accidents reported. The time, prizes, and winners were as follows: TIME PRIZES. First— Syracuse cycle, W. J. Martin 41:54 1-5.

NOTES OF THE RACE. The time was excellent considering the fact that every rider had to slow up at some of the sharp turns on account of the crowd that narrowed the track. It was observed that while the race was called for 4 o'clock, the start was made at 4:22, while the spectators were broiled In the summer sun. Freddy Bryant, the estate master of Minne sota Republicanism, had Moses Clapp been elected, was there with a pair of checker- board stockings and * badge marked "offi cial." His duty was ta umpire the game. There were thirty-five officials on the pro gramme, and there were at least twice that many "officious" personages with or without badges, who clustered themselves on the Im provised press stand and troubled the time takers. That was one reason why a number of young men who put up good races were overlooked in the flniah. Dottle Farnsworth and Matle Christopher perched on the starter's stand. Miss Farns worth wore a mixed gray costume, with full skirt, while Miss Christopher was attired In a shirt waist with brown corduroy bloomers, nearly approaching "knlcks." When Ous Hansen ••ppwared on the track, the clouds began to»-ga*»er, for the rain maker was among nwn» » •R. F. Jones was in one of the timers, but he was not there. He must have loaned his badge to some one, however, for certainly no one was missed. v IT WILL, BE PICTURESQUE. Tuesday Night's Cycle Path Show at White Bear.

It has been requested by the management that all those attending appear in cycling or yachting costume. SOCIAL. CYCLE NOTES. Laurel Club's Fete Postponed Until Next Thursday. The lawn social which was to have been given by the Laurel Cycle club Thursday evening, will take place next Thursday, July 30. The principal feature of the evening will be the St. Paul Marine band, of thirty-eight pieces-, which will furnish the music. This band will undoubtedly be the leader in G. A. R. events during the encampment, and the rehearsal at the Laurel club house a few days ago was listened to with much pleasure. Should it rain next Thursday evening, however, it would be impossible to properly take care of the large gathering that is as surred, and the affair will accordingly have to be again postponed. It is hoped that the weather will prove favorable this time, as the club has been singularly unfortunate in this direction heretofore. A large pennant has been donated to the Laurel Cycle club by Lee Seymour, the Fowler agent, and will probably be unfurled from the new flag staff for the first time next Thursday. Thursday evening was ladies evening at the Capital City Cycle club and the house was brilliantly lighted. There was a large number of ladies called during the evening, and a programme of piano and mandolin music was given by A. L. Eggert and Tom Davis. Ben Hawks gave some guitar selec tions. The club is now possessed of a handsome Schiller piano. Invitations have been issued by the Capital City Cycle club for a social entertainment to be given for the young women who assisted the club in its recent lawn fete. The programme will consist of vocal and Instrumental selec tions. There will be piano, guitar and mandolin music and a minstrel per- THOMAS DAVIS. formance will follow. Refreshments will be served and dancing will bring the evening to a close. Bicycle Notes. Tighten up the front gearing and stop wobbling. A New York manufacturer is making a bicycle which will accommodate fifteen rfd ers. Charles W. Ashcrcift, .of Cincinnati, has invented an electric -bicycle. Attached to the sprocket spindle fcf «fe ordinary bicycle is an electric motor oPcnfr'horse power. Stor age batteries in a tri&ftgui&r case under the seat supply this mntoW" with electricity.

WINDSOR CYCLE LIVERY, t WHOLESALERS AND RETAILERS, 409 AND 411 ROBERT STREET, - « ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA, i It is said the scorching was largely due to the extremely light wheels of last year. In this year's examinations few "bicycle hearts" were found. The New York Journal wants to know what is to be done with the idiot who runs into your wheel and does about $5 worth of damage to it and then Insists that he has neither the ready money wherewith to pay fo-r the repairs nor a possibility of ever being In a financial condition equal to the event. You can't hold his wheel, for It is either bor rowed or rented. Sanger has made the discovery, which is hardly a discovery, that a good many rec ords are more due to the stop watch than to the racer. It appears that there is such a thing as a slow watch, not the kind of a watch that makes a man miss a train, but a watch gotten up for the express purpose of running slow, running say eighty seconds to the minute Instead of the orthodox sixty. The racing man who is timed with that kind of watch can naturally make records look tired without half trying. We presume that Sanger knows what he is talking about, but he is giving professional cycling a heavy blow unless somebody can prove that he does not know what he is talking about. In Spain there is no distinction between amateurs and professionals, all riders com peting for money prizes. It Is now being seriously suggested that the next census returns should include par ticulars of the number of people who cycle. "Have you a bicycle, Willie?" "No, sir; not quite." "What do you mean by that?" "I have a bicycle button." Paris has a bicycle club composed entirely of medical men. Among its members are some of the leading physicians of the French capital. A Columbus lady has two sons. One of them was obliged to submit to a somewhat painful though not dangerous surgical oper ation the other day. The doctor, with his instruments, did the work and went away. After he had gone the lady, while looking around, found one of the doctor's instru- D. F. CARMICHAEL. ments. She picked it up carefully, washed It in a solution of carbolic acid, and sent it to the doctor with a polite little note. The messenger came back with the instru ment and note, saying: "Dear Mrs. M.: You are very kind, but the instrument is not mine. I do not know Just what it is, but I have an idea that it is used to hypodermic ally inject oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen and other component gases and to correct a de bilitated, flabby and inchoate punctured rim of air. In other words, I think that if you show it to your son he will tell yon what it is." She carried it to her boy and said: "Whose is this?" "Mine," said he. "What is it?" "_My bicycle pump." She tossed the nickel-plated thing at him and went away smiling. — Columbus Dispatch. Here is a warning to people on th» lookout for bargain counter bicycles.

I want," the letter read, "is a bicycle hav ing a high finish and one that will hang to gether long enough to be sold. I don't care ! how bad the tubing may be; all that I desire j is a good-looking bicycle for small money. Few people can tell the quality of a bicycle. If it is cheap and looks well they snap at the supposed bargain." Collisions are sometimes unavoidable, no matter how careful a rider may be. Of course, it is always best to avoid a smash up, jf such a thing is possible. There are cases, and it happens to nearly every cy clist, when a collision cannot be avoided. Then the old saw: "Self preservation is the first law of nature" comes In. Put on a little extra steam and strike your adversary's wheel head on. Don't allow him to hit you broadside or your wheel won't be worth much. Above all always keep cool and observe the rules of the road. If you do this, it will be the other fellow's fault if there is any trouble. The prominent knee motion which makes so many women look so ungraceful on a wheel Is due to the improper adjustment of the saddle. See that your saddle is high enough to allow you, while sitting on it, to stand straight on the lower pedal. in conseqaence of the extraordinary de mand for artisans in Coventry, Eng., owing to the great demand for bicycles, the city is overcrowded, families of seven and eight living in two-roomed tenements. Dwellings are unobtainable and rents have advanced 25 per cent. England is rejoicing in a lunch basket which may be fastened to the handle bar. The whole arrangement measures ten by four inches, and nine inches in height. This compact little larder contains a wicker-covered flask, a neat drinking cup, a sandwich box and an enam eled plate, knife and fork. New Yorkers may be surprised to read in the London Sketch the latest new thing in Gotham is a lady's bicycle hat, of Tyrolese shape, in straw or light felt, but surmounted by a white quill "rising from a miniature bicycle wheel, with a rubber tire and natu ral-looking spokes." One More Unfortnnate. I sneak across the street so wide, I wriggle, squirm, I rush, I glide; I take my chances, oh, so slim — I trust to eye, and nerve, and limb; I scoot to right, I gallop through, I'm here and there, I'm lost to view; My life, I know, hangs in c toss — Another plunge — I am across! Oh, give me pity If you can — I'm just a poor pe-des-tri-an! — Cleveland Plain Dealer. GOSSIP OF THE I'Hlfcr: RING. Paddy Purtell, the Kansas City welterweight, and Jimmy Ryan, the Cincinnati middle weight, have been matched for a finish flght at catch weights to take place Aug 30, within 100 miles of Kansas City. The referee, it is said, has been agreed upon and all the details are practically settled. • • • The next contest in which Lavlgne will en gage will be at the Empire Athletic club, Mas peth, and his opponent will be Charley Mc- Keever. This is the reason McKeever has re fused to meet any one since he got the de cision over Young Griffo. • • • There ia more money In being a semi-suc cessful fighter than in shoveling coal or dig ging trenches. Young Griffo and Jack Ever hardt received $516 each as their share of a "draw" boxing match In Buffalo the other night. • • • Many of the little fighters evidently think George Dixon, the feather-w-elght champion, has seen his best days. At least a dozen of them have challenged htm of late. Dixon re fuses to meet any one at more than 120 pounds. • • • "Denver Ed" Smith, who is at present In Mechanicsville, N. V.. seems very much dis pleased at the manner in which Bob FMUsim mons has ignored his challenge to fight him tor 9 the championship of the world with bare knuckles, and he has notified Sam Austin to cable to England again, hoping to get a satis factory reply from Fitzsimmons. • * * Joe Goddard, who was defeated by "Denver Ed" Smith, Is now a prosperous boatmaker in South Africa. • • • Joe Walcott is considering whether he will go to San Francisco to meet Billy Gallagher. He has been offered a good purse. • • • A match has been practically arranged be tween Young Griffo and Eddie Connolly of Boston, before the Cleveland Athletic club. • * • A San Francisco man, who thinks there is much existing apprehension about Tom Sharkey, writes of him as follows: 'So far the Marine has not delivered a clean knock out blow on any of his opponents. He rushes them, roughs them, throws them, about, and, having such wonderful strength, he weakens them until they can't hit. I don't want to detract from him, however, for to tell the truth, he is a very dangerous man for any hand puncher that will attempt to rough it with him. He has only a slight knowledge cf boxing, but understands suffi cient to place himself in an extremely awk ward position to get at. Standing with his feet far apart and bending over to the right at the first offensive movement of an oppo nent he lowers his head and comes in with a rush. He covers his jaw against uppercuts with his right, swings his left with tremend ous force wherever he thinks his man's head ought to be, and, having got against his opponent, with his head still tucked away, swings his right in any old direction, trust ing to luck to -make connections. This move over in a wink, Sharkey has his opponent round the waist in the cofls of a baa constrict or, from which the clutched man soon learns what a roughing from the sailor means. To have any sort of conception of what the sailor looks like, you would have to see him. Sixth Chess Round. NUREMBERG, July 25.— The sixth round of the international chess masters' tournament played in this city today resulted as fol lows: Steinitz beat Charousek in a bish op's gambit after 51 moves.
