A new record two or three days less than the mark of 13 days set in 1898, when cycle racing was a nationally popular sport, is predicted by F. 8. Beedleson, famous one-legged racing rider of Herkimer, N. Y., as the outcome of the forthcoming transcontinental bicycle championship contest. Mr. Beedleson (pictured in the good old days and to-day) laid out most of the course (shown at top) used in the original races.

Windsor Lad was favourite for the Eclipse Stakes, run over A miles at Sandown Park, but was only able to secure third place, finishing half a length behind Umidwar, who was the same dis- tance behind King Salmon.
Windsor Lad appears definite- ly to be superior over the longer distances, his win in the Derby, and, more recently in the Great Yorkshire Stakes over 11⁄2 miles, proving his liking for distances more than the 14 miles of the Eclipse Stakes.
