Somothing Ahout Blerele Aeordente OMAHA, July 13.—To the Sporting Editor | of The Bee: After reading the account of o bicyele accident at Twelfth and Dodge, the wonder comes over me that there are not more such and fatal accidents. In the eraze for light weights the bicycle rider has stripped every possible ounce from his wheel which is not actually necessary to support him.

They all seemed to enjoy themselves immensely. the whole year. Per- haps the only one that will equal it this year will be the great na- tional elrcuit meet Which is to be held in this city October 10, at which time the fastest men in the world will be present. However, if it beats the state moet just held it will be a “humm Kearney did herself proud this year by giv- ing the best meet Nebraska ever had. League memwbers were shown every courtesy by the citizens of Kearney, as well as by the wheelmen. The hotels were not near large enough to accommodate the vast num- ber of cyclists present and Kearney's best people opened up their homes and cared for those who could not get accommodations at the hotcls. The wheelmen who were for- tunate enough to get in with a private fam- fly were lucky, for, to say the least, those who put up at the hotels did not get fat on the meals they got; this was the only fault that could be found and the only thing the wheelmen had to complain of. The managers of the hotels did the'best they could and tried to please everybody, but the crowd was slmply too large for them to handle properly. Upon arriving in the little city which, by the way, Is one of the most thriving business towns in the state, each delegation was met by a band and escorted to the League of American Wheelmen headquarters, where, after reglstering, they were given badges upon which was printed, “This credential gives you the freedom of the city. What can wo do for you? League of American Wheelmen, Nebraska division, fifth annual meet July 4 and 5, 1895, Kearney, State Meet City,” and the wearers of these little octagonal ' pleces of pasteboard were ad- mitted to every place and everything and the citizens could not do enough for them. The morning of the Fourth was very cloudy and | it looked for a while as though the fun was to be spoiled, but a warm south wind soon dried the strects and race track, which were soaked by rain the previous day. Many at- tended the trial heats which were ran in the fcronoon, but the afternoon crowd was the record-breaker. People came from miles around to witness the races, and as early as | noon motors, buses, carryails and all kinds of vehicles were seen hurrying toward the track, their occupants going carly so as to got the choice seats, from which to wi the struggles for supremacy, and by 2 o'clock the grandstand, bleachers, quarter-stretch and every available bit of space was occu- pled. It was a crowd that Omaha eveu would have been pushed hard to equal Promptly at 3 o'clock the starter's bell called the riders for the first race to the scratch It was a one mile novics, and there were cightesn starters. Bowels, “‘the farmer boy" from McCook, won easily; Underwood of Omaha, second. Time: 2:331-5, belng very gaod for novices. The next event was the quarter mile open, with a dozen starters Here is where Omaha began to get in her work, by Pixley's getting first_easily, with Bailey of Lincoln second. Time: 33 1-5, which was fast for a quarter mile track. The half-mile race was a hard fought one. Carter of Lincoln getting first, with Hayman and Nelson of Grand Island close second and third. Time: 1:10 1-5. The next event, the halt-mile boys' race, was where Omaha scored again, her Western Union boy, Mc- Nider, easlly walking away with first prize. Time: 1:162-5, which Is very fast for kia Then came the race of the day, the one mil state champlonship, Hayman of Grand Island winning it handily in 2 5. Rigby, the Toledo boy, walked away with the two mile class B race, and Sabina of Beatrice got the two mile handicap, class A. He had 100 yards start. Pixley of Omaha, a scraten man, was a close second. Time: 4:55; very fast. BEdghlll, the Western Union kid' from Omaha, then rode an exhibition half mile in the slow time of 1:17 2-5, being slower than the time madz by McNider in the boys’ This closed the day's program, and ever body went home, seemingly satisfied, and, al- though no records were broken, the tim gemcrally was good, considering the heavy track. In the evening the wheelmen and their ladies were invited to the Buffalo club to witness the display of fireworks, whicn was given in the street below, after which dancing was the order until midnight, when the crowd dispersed, and the glorious Fourth was a thing of the past. The morning of the 5th dawned bright and clear andi it looked as though there might be some rare sport at the races in the afternoon, as the hot sun would surely bake the track's sur- face very hard. Many visited the cotton mills, others the Industrial school, but the bulk ‘of the crowd visited the bicycle plant of the Kearney Cycle company, where they saw just how ‘bikes” were made. - The afternoon saw another large crowd at the races. Promptly at 8, as the day before, they were started, the first event being for the Morgan & Wright gold brick, the riders each taking their turn and the man doing the mile alone In the fastest time won. Tessler of Sutton walkel away with It, his time being 2:20 1-5. It is useless to go into details here about tne balance of the races, as a full report of thém has been published before. The state records that were low- ered are the following: One-half mile competition, by Pixley; time, 1206 3-5. One mile competition, by 2:22 1.5, Two-mile competition, by 4:56 2-5. Five-mile competition, by 12366 35, _ One-half TWile, flying start, tandem, against | single; Tessier, 1:03 1-5. The prizes were presented in the evening | at the city hall, after which dancing and a light lunch were indulged in, the Omaha contingent leaving for home on the 3:30 a. m train. The promoters of the meet deserve a great deal of credit, as it was the best state meet Nebraska has ever witnessed. Lincoln | will make a strong pull for the meet in 1896, and we hope she gets it In reviewing the work of Nebraska's differ- ent racing men at the state meet it will be well to mention a few riders who showed good speed. One of the foremost 1s Hay- man, the Grand Island boy. He Is the maifug of one of the fastest men in the country if properly handled. His general ship Is good and his sprints very fast. He will be heard from many times before the | season Is over. Tessler of Sutton is an- | other man who is coming up fast. He has the speed, but lacks generalship, which he will get only by experience on the path. Carter of Lincoln showel up well and will make a fast man. He has, however, been training with Mockett until he has acquired | some of the latter's dirty tricks of cutting on the inside of & man and crowding him out. The sooner he adopts a cleaner style | of racing the better he will be liked among the racing men and the more races he will | win. Sabine, the lttle Beatrice crack, with proper care, will make one of the fastest men in the state. Bailey and McBride of Lincoln both ha good speed and it will only take hard and taithful training to land them on the top of | the heap.

Especially is this the case at of Twentieth and Nicholas streets, on the block north from the motor power house. This is a_popular road to the North Boule- vard, and a large number of cyclers ride that way of late, quite often to their re- gret. One evening within a week six out of eleven bicycles were punctured here inside of ten minutes, and another found an old knife blade run clear through both tire and rim, ruining both. Large tacks, shingle nails, and sharp pieces of glass and crockery tightly fixed between bricks of the pave- ! ment appear to be the chosen method of perpetrating this uncalled for and malicious work. This is not only dangerous to bicycles, | but a more perfeet means of ruining horses could hardly be devised, and from the mas- | We now have just the thing you have been looking for, THE BICYCLE COUPLER CALL AND EXAMINE IT, OMAHA BICYCLE CO., Sole Agents, 323 N. 16th St Stray Leaves from a Tourist's Notebook.
