o 2 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, APRIL 5, 1897 coats or: their arms and even wish they had not brought them atall. The sun shone its brightest and warmest—in fact, it was a summer’s day. The bloomer girl was in her glory yes terday. She caused her skirted sisters to fairly turn green with env Her cos- tume was in nearly every instance a veri- table aream. There were hunderds of these bloomer giris there and those who watched from the stone walks and from indows were at a loss to decide which of &em looked the prettiest. They flisted about everywhere on the course, resem- bling a myriad of vari-colored butterflies, Some spea along on tandems, piloting the way for their male escorts; others affected the triplet, while still others, more inde- pendent, pedaled their own wheels and went where they pleased. Many of them, though, preierred to pose afoot beneath the big shadetrees that lined the avenue and to chat with friends and make new acquaintances. But the race—the race. As might be expected, the Alameda finish was to provide the spectacular end of the day’s event, and it did. That's why the thousands of cycling enthus:asts gathered there. Quite true, the entire journey around the peninsuia was repiete with exciting incidents, but all these were foreotten and lost sight of in the anxiety and intense interest that attached to the closing chapter and the proclaiming of the victor. Ten clubs had zone into the contest with their very best trained riders. Only one eould win. Pride and an aching for glory spurred all of them on, and it was a battle all the way. It was no wonder then that the 100 miies were covered in six minutes faster time than they were last year, nor that the record was once more splintered. Theé marshals and police were making a st desperate effort to regain control of the swaying and struggling crowd when a lad who had appointed himself lookoutand was perched upon the topmost point of a telegraph pole shouted out that he could discern far up the avenue the outlines of & wheelman who, from his costume and the desperate manner in which he was riding, was undoubtedly the leader in the great rel shout went up from the crowd, and as it was taken up all along the dense line for bloci after block, it developed into a defeaning roar. All thoushts of order and decorum were forgotten and in a trice the ropes were torn irom their fastenings and everybody was prancing about ex- citedly in the middle of the avenue in complete defiance of the guards. “Can you make out his colors yet?” sbouted one of the timers through his bends ana directing his remarks to the lookout. o, there’s somebody in the way,” came from the top of the poie. ‘‘His head is down and he's riding like the wind. He is—hold on—now I can see him—be’s a Bay City rider!” Wow! There was noise enough before, but now pandemonium had broken loose, “It's Kenna! Hurrah for Kenna!” The Bay City men were delirious with excite- ment and danced about like Piutes, waving sweaters, broiwng their caps into the air and yelling themseives hoarse. And they bad a right to, for they had won a great victol Everybody, too, seemed to share in their joy and shouted and shouted again with them. Make room for the winne: was the order that now swept through the con- fused mass of human beings. A narrow aisle, from either side of which thousands of heads bobbed and necks craned, was quickly formed and through it swept Kenna, perspiring and tired, but the hero of the day. There was another wild scene when this athlete crossed the tape just as one of the pedais snapped from his wheel and the machine itself coliapsed. Kenna did not fall. He cleverly disengaged himself from ihe wreck and delivered Mayor Pheian’s he document thai had been car- er the century circuit—to Chairman Foederer of the Alameda Board of Trus- tees. Had Kenna been compelled to ride another hundred yards he couid not have finished without 2n accident. The wonder is that he ever got home on that wheel. Two miles from the tape his rear tire flattened and he was compelled to ride oa the rim. Then one of the pedals loosened and the whole machine be:an to wobble; but the lad would not stop—no, it was do or die with him, and be kept on as long as he couid keep his balance on the machine. “I had one thing to console me, though,” said Kenna, afier tue race, “and that was that none of my rivals were near enough to me to make trouble. Even if my wheel had collapsed I believe I would have had time to borrow one from one of my trailers and still win out the race for my club.” Wiig of the Olympic Club was next to Kenna in the last relay, and crossed the 1ape within a few seconds of two minutes behind the Bay City man. Bates of the Reliance Club came in third, three min- utes behind Wing; Decker of the Acme Club was fourtn and right on the heels of Bates. The representatives of the cther contesting elubs came straggling in dur- ing the cucceeding eight minutes. The color-bearer of the Alameda Cyclers was the only one who did not finish. HOW THE RACE WAS RUN. Events Along the Line of the Relay Course. Promptly at 9 o’clock the tem men who were to ride the tirst relay were instructed toline up by Starter John F. McGlynn. Owing to the iwmense crowd around the starting point at Tenth and Market streets it was some little time before a space could be cleared sufficiently wide to allow each man a fair start, but atten minutes past 9 everything was in readiness and he gzave them the word to go. The course lay down Market street one block to Ninth street, and each man was desirous of reaching the corner firat, so as to lead on the ride down the Ninth- street cable siot as far as Folsom street. Rosenheim of the Reliance Club was the lucky one, aud the order behind him, as the men strung out down Ninth street was Smith (Olympic), Hardenbrook (Gar- den City), Davidson (Bay City), Scott (Acme), Carpenter (Alameda), Birdsal (Caliiornia), Huhert (Capital Gity), Hamann (Imperial) and Robinson (San Francisco. Before the turn at Folsom street was reached, however, Davidson bad sprinted ahead and assumed the lead. The sharp turn 1nto Folsom street was ralely made, an immense crowd of specta- tors being present at this voint to see the men pass. Out the asphalted boulevard the men flew along, Davidson and Harden- brook setting most of the pace. Another turn was made at Twenty-fifth street, and here the first accident of the race oc- curred—Davidson’s rear tire went flat from a puncture, and be soon found him- self riding on the rim cof the wheel and Josing gronnd at every turn of the pedals. At the Potrero avenue turn he secured the loan of another wheel from a boy standing by and was soon chasing hotly after the bunch now some distance ahead of him. Scott of the Acmes meanwhile had also a punciure, and suffered two more and rode three strange wheeis before he finished his relay. Davidson punctured again, got an- other wheel from a clubmate close at band, pulled the handle bars out of that one on the Six-mile hill, got another wheel from John Leavitt, whom the Bay Citys nad stationed on the hiil for just such an emergency, and again punctured that before he finished, In spite of all his wccidents Davidson beat Scott and OCar- KENNA of the Bay City Wheelmen Fidishes First in the Great Century Relay on a Broken Wheel. penter in, but his team wasin a_bad way, | the times made as shown by the table are in eighth position and exactly four min- | all the more creditable.

An imwmense con- course of people lined the streets of the Garden City to watch the riders pass, and while the fact that their home club was nearly three minutes behind somewhat dampened their enthusiasm, they reme bered that the Bay Citys, in just su?h a predicament, had won the race in 1596, and the thought was cheering to them.

In a foreetful moment he took off both hands, his wheel woobled, and down he went, bringing four others down with bim. Fortunately he was some short distance back of the leaders—the Olympic, Bay City and Res liance men—and they were not affected by the fall. There was only a second's | Actomt | Riding 1ime. R H.

At the end the Olympics still led, but only by two seconds; the Bay Citys had ad- vanced one notch and were in second po- sition by fifteen seconds over the Reliance Club and the Acmes were close upon them. This relay was supposed 10 be a very weak spot in the Buy Citys’ team, ac- cording tothe prognosticationsof a cycling writer in a morning paper. Haley was said to be an unknown quantity, the in- ference being that he lacked the speed and endurance necessary to carry him over the course as fast as the men from other clubs would ride it. But despite these predictions he worried along and was within a second of making the fastest time. The Alamedas had dropped back so far that no time was taken, and al- tnough they eventually finished " the race there is no ‘record of their riding times after the sixth relay. SEVENTH RELAY.

With this lost time he trailer for Kroetz. We jogged along at a three-minute clip, talking and josbing, for about three miles, until we were well past Alvarado, Kralt, Yeoman and Kroetz setting the pace. Finally I thougnt it ‘was about time for Kraft to wake up, so I said, ‘Licht out, Charley,’ and, say, Jou would bave thought we were standing still the way he left us. We tried to hold Lim, but it 'was out of the question. Yeo- was only one second slower than the fast- time made on the relay., Ben Noonan, Squires and Joe Delmas set the nace be- tween them. Casenave, tie -Reliance Club's Los An‘ralel fiyer, set the pace for a tume, but did it so poorly they soon dis- pensed with his services in that direction. This relay was 10} miles long, a fact which many were not aware of, so that man soon quit, and though Kroetz, Davis and I kept along as best we could, we could see Krait was gaining on usat every turn of the pedals. “We saw Syd Vincent swing in alona- side Kraft some distance up the road.

They had held sixth place right along this far, but Muller through misfortune to his wheel lost time for them, and they dropped back to nint place, which was practically last; the Ala- medas were so far out of the race, NINTH RELAY.

Kenna for the Bay Citys was off over two minutes aheasd of the others. He punctured his rear tire half way out and rode it in flat the remaining five miles, much to the damage of the tire and rim, He was followed in by three or four members of his own club, who were ready to exchange wheels with him should any of his competitors come in sight from behind, making a hard finish necessary. But his lead was so ereat it was unneces- sary.

This makes the third successive year that the Bay Citys nuve won the great relay race, and thereby they become ens titled to the possession for all time of the Varney relay trophy, an elegant silver cup.: The only other clup that ever won it was the Garden City Cyclers of San 1;5: the first time the relay was run in 1894, In the packet which each_ rider carried was enclosed a letier from Mayor Pheian of this City to Hon. Josepi: Forderer, president of the Board ot Trusiees of the city of Alameda, explaining the purpose of the race. Kenna delivered his packet to Mr. Forderer, who was present at the finisn. Immediately upen his arrival, The many intricaic detaiis and arrange- ments for the race were admirably hand- lea by the road-racing and records commit- tee of the California Associated Cycling Clubs, consisting of Charles Albert Adams, Chester Myrick ang A. W. Weibe. The regularly appointed board of timers, judges, scorers, etc., of the associstion officiated al the startand finish, and on each relay these officials were furnished by the various clubs competing, one from each club. The impression is general that the best team won the big race. Not only were the men the fastest riders, but by atten- tion to little details the club's officers had everything so well arranged that for them to lose the race by ordinary accidents, such as punctures or broken wheels, was almost impossible. For instance, on the first relay the Bay Citys bad twenty ex- tra men stationed half « mile apart with an extra wheel ready for Davidson if he needed it. And the value of this service is shown when it is said that Davidson had to change weels five times. The same twenty men, after the rirs: relay was run, crossed the bay and spread themselves out over the ninth and tenth relays, ready to lend aid to Krart or Kenna if necessary. Out of 156 members which the Bay City Club has, 142 had some actual duty to erform on the day of the race, and every ast one of them did what ire was told to Greut credit isdue to Frank H. Kerri- an, president; Henry L. Day, cabtain George P. Wetmore, Frank H. Waters, and other prominent members of the club. for the interest they took in- the club’s team, and the time and care they speat on the placing and arranging of the men, The annual relay race of Celifornia is one of the greatest cycling events in the | United States. Looking at it topograph- ically there is no other locality so favored for such a race as around the bay of San Francisco. And similar events in the East on straightaway courses do not com- pare with ours for time made or the in- terest taken by t e riaers and the public. Itis the race of the year, the cycling derby, as it were. Z Mayor's Offic City and County of >an Franciseo, James D, Phelan, Mayor. San Francisco, April 2, 1897.
