...best races were the two mile handicap and the final heat of the one mile open. The two trial heats of the mile were processions. In the final heat, however, Brinckerhoff went ahead of the starters to set the pace for two laps, and an interesting race was the result. Fearing was ahead, with Schrader second, until he ran off the track and had to withdraw. By the third and last lap, Dawson had come up to the front and, with a spurt at the finish, he passed Schrader, who had just ridden in the trial heat. The finish...
...invitation half mile race was expected to be the event of the day, but was somewhat of a disappointment, because all the entries were afraid to run against Hollister except Hollander of New York. Hollister set the pace from the start and Hollander ran at his heels for a lap and a half. Here Hollister increased his speed and gradually drawing ahead, won as he pleased by 40 yards.

To make the team race faster and more interesting, points will be counted at the end of each lap as well as at the finish. Work is being pushed rapidly on the Cambridgeport track, and the team will begin to train there in about a week. Until then it is hard to judge exactly of the merits of the men nowriding. Mr. Rich, who is coaching the riders, is well pleased with...
Pennsylvania won the five-mile relay race with Yale in 24m. 5 4-5s. Hinckley, of Yale started on the last mile 50 yards in the lead, but was passed on the third lap by Orton, who won by nearly fifty yards...
