a THE SCBAXTON BEPUBLICAN. TUESDAY MOKNXNG, SEPTEMBER 26. 1893. FLYING THROUGH SPACE. FAST TIME MADE AT THE BICYCLE MEET YESTERDAY.

Despite the Threatening Weather 3,000 People Saw Fast Riders Move Over the Ground on Silent Steeds at a Rapid Rate of Speed Tyler Beat Sanger and Sanger Beat the Field. Interest in cycling has attained a dej gree of popularity in this city within the last few years that is positively astonishing, and notwithstanding the threatening a pect ot the weither fully 3.000 spectators witnessed the close and exciting races at the Diiving park yesterday afternoon, the occasion being the first meet of the Scranton Bicycle club since it has been admitt to membership in the Iniernalional Racing Circuit. With the exception of Zimmerman, ail Ihe fast riders of the country participated in the races, and the time made the track, which was quite hcavv, owing to the rain of the morning, sumassed the expectations of the most sanguine promoters of the event. The enthusiasm displayed by the laree crowd was also surprising. From the time that a rating staite I the speetat" re watched with interest the movements of the men, and wuen th' came into the home stretch the vast assemblage was as one man and cheered aud shouted for their favorites.

The ricis of yesterday thoroughly dt mi nstratt thaT more interest is taken by the people of the city iu bicycle races, than in horse racing. such enthusiastic crowd has witnesses ihe trotting races held at the Driving park in the last few years, as that which attended the races yesterday, and tlio present were tin uglily delighted with the exhibition of ti.e 1 opular sport and the close aud exciting races witnessed. Sanger's hit. With one splendid spurt in the one mile handicap nee Sanger won the affection of the major portion of the crowd that saw him race yesterday, and although Zimmerman may be the champion of the world, and the title is in dispute as many are of the opinion that Sanger is his superior, yet Sanier will always be the favorite with Scranton cyclists, as he proved to their satisfaction that he was entitled be the champion by disp'aying wo iderful speed and beating a score of fast riders, who were given from 15 to 150 yards start. The members of the club are greatly displeased and disap pointed because of Zimmerman's failure to attend.

He had repeatedly promised to be present," and his assurances were ac repted and his arrival was expected until the last moment. Yesterday morning Manager rl. li. Chase received a telegram from rerrett, who was to be clerk of th course but was suddenly taken sick which stated that he, Zimmerman and Baker might arrive during the afternoon. but at the last moment the champion ch his mind, and broke his promises and went to Pittsburg.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN. Had the weather been favorable it is confidently expected that fully 10,000 people would have attended the races. The at endance of morn than 3,000 per sons, despite the drizzlingtain and threat ening appearance of the heavens clearly proves that the expectations of the promoters was a just one and that the claim was not exaggerated. One effect the raiu had was that it prevrnted clouds of dust from arising and obscuring the riders as they glided swiftly and silenily toward the coveted goal. Yesterday morning WenCSANGIlL the executive committee, who have labored earnestly early and lute for the success of the meet, were undecided as to whether or not they had better postpone the event until Thursday, and the parade was postponed until 11 o'clock.

The fast men were all seen and agreed to return on Thursday it' the rac were held then. Mr, II. C. Tyler was ihe omy one who stated that it would be impossible for to re turn on that day. 1 he committee had learned yexi er ence liOWoilHcult it was to induce the fast riders to come to this city and wishing to give tho what at te ded the very best races possible with the fastest men in the county compi tine they decided at 11 o'clock to hold the races yesterday.

Ihe rain wine threatened to descend at almost any moment held off until a few minutes belore the last event tooK place and then the shower was but a slight one, but the races were only finished a short while wlicn the ram poured down in tor rents, dampening ihe spirits and clothing of the mosi enthusiastic admirers of the sport. Ihe people will patronize any similar event if ihe races aie as good as thev were yesterday, even if more than one meet is held every year. It is more thau probable that when the next meet is held the Driving park will be taxed to its utmost capacity ami the larjat crowd that ever assembled within its Kates will be present. Judging by the interest taken iu the races iu which only local menfioin this and surrounding cities were entered contest between nun from this and neighboring counties would excite much entnUbiaam and draw large crowds. HOW INTEREST HAS GHOWN.

The interest in bicycling has srrown wonderfully in this city iu the last two or turej years, ror the past two weeks the coming meet has been the uppermost topic of coiiversatiou with a large number of the people of the env and the com ing of the fast men and records made by eacu has been fully discussed. This condition of affairs is due iu a large measure to the enterprise and Character of the members of the Scranton Bicycle club. which, for twelve years, has been one of he leading ganiz iiion.4 of the Citv. but not uutil the la lew days has itatiained such popularity, or the interest in cycling been so widespread. The pav streets hare offered a favorable opportunity fr beginners master the intricacies I the art, and now the majority or the people of the city ride the siitn' ste many who were not fortunate enough to own wheel having taken advantage of the ssessioiis of their friends and thus learned to ride, and are now able to con verse with the most enthus a tic eveiisi in regar I to tl merits of the cush on a' 1 pneumatic tires, ball beam gs and gear i are able to tell to a certainty what effect those con'r vances have to rd increasing the speed of the riders.

The ladies are also thoroughly posted on this sul'jcct and take gr. at interest in the genteel port. There are at present four bicycle clubs in the city, ach with a membership equal to that of the Scran ton Bicycle club, and yet all were united with the older organization and exerted themselves to their utmost to matte the meet a success, and had the weather been favorable their efforts would have been rewarded.

Tyler Wins Two Hares While Sanger Takes But One. Although the weather deterred many from attending, yet the bicycle club will more tbau clear expenses, and it is ex pected that the club will realize about $500 by the meet. Had the weather b' en favorable this amount would no doubt have been quadrupled. As it is the result is very gratifying. 'Ihe Driving park presented an interest ing appearance when the first race was called yesterday afternoon.

The track appeared to be in excellent condition and ihe graud stand was well filled, the ladies being in the majority and nearly every one wearing the colors of the Scranton citib. Large numbers of men congregated on the track at each end of the grand stand, but no time during the event was there any danger of crowding the racers.so perfect were the regulations and so orderly was the crowd. In front of the grand stand a large netting bearing the colors of the club was placed and it partly hid from view the unsightly boa'ds. The judges, starters and the timers and bicyclists moved quickly across the track. The officers of the day were: Referee, A G.

Powell, Philadelphia; Judges, Dr. C. R. Brady, Honesdale Frank Dietrick, Wiikes Barre; E. H.

Davis and Colonel George Sanderson, Scranton; Timers, George Pilton, Scranton W. M. Lathrop, Carbouilale; Frank Snyder, Piitston; George B. Jcrmyn, Scranton; J. A.

LaBar, Stroudsburg, Scorers, G. M. Carr, Scranton; Robert Johnson, Wilkes Barre; Clerk of the Course, A. Atkins, Asbury Paik; Announcers, Dan Canary, Springfieid; and Manager H. B.

Chnse, Scranton. The races were all well contested, the men kept closely bunched and the finishes were so close and interesting, th eveu the most cool and deliberate persons became excited and rose to the feet 10 urge and chier tl.eir favorites to rei.ewed efforts to win the victory. Be cause of the special prizes offered there Was no lagging behind, each rider being desirous 0, winning a puze. In the one n.ile open Sanger undereS' tuuated lylera speed and reserved his strengtu for the homestretch iu order to make a grandstand finish. He nude 1 beautiful spurt but Tyler won the race.

Iu the mile ht.ndicap Sanger passed dozen riders some of whom had nearly two hundred yards start, a id reduced toe time six seconds, making tuc track record 2:19 1 5. Tue spectators were given excellent ex uiDttions 01 speed, uui tue meet would ivc been incomplete without ti.e fancy idim 01 DanCauary. He showed how irraceiul a whielman could be and revcaied the wonderlul things that can be accomplish cd on the wheel. He performed several graceful and pretty evolutions and his movements were illustrative of the Doetry of tion. He also performed an endless number of difn ul id beeiiiiuai impos sible feats, aud each one was warmly applauded by the spectators, with whom he oou became a favorite.

He rode the wheel in every im.giuable way, aud though his work was gratly admired he will not have many successtui imitators in this city. The Citib is griatly iuuebted to him for when iJisupuoiuted Dy Jiaufnwnn. whom they had engaged, he offered 10 act as substitute for a trifling corsidcration, and few believe that ivauimann could surpass the exhibition of iancy riding given by him. Another interesting feature of the meet is the exnibiiion given by Guy Meade Burnett, aged 0 ears, and his brot her, Fred Mellon, aged 3 years, of Shicksuinny. The little tots ou the tmii st wheels rode with tue ease and irrace of veterans and seemed entirely at home on the cycle.

They performed several tricks and won admiring glances and smiles of approval from ihn ladies, and woids ex re sing surprise ana appreciation tr.im the men. Guy rode a mile airaiust his brother's quarier mile and easily defeated him, as he travel. ed at a pretty rate of speed for one young. BACEB IN DETAIL.
