...consider that it was made on a track of loose dirt, instead of a cinder path. The Bicycle Race produced capital sport, every inch of the three miles being closely contested. It was, we believe, the first race ridden by amateurs in the country.

Last year, for several good reasons, we were forced to refuse Cornell's challenge, and it was only proper that we should challenge her in return, as we have done, at the earliest possible date. The Executive Committee not being composed of jockeys and blacklegs, it was never supposed that they could be so misinterpreted, or they would have guarded themselves more carefully against the Era.
