my memory estes mo at all correctly I believe Prinrake Cakes: 25.05 some of the old-timo oyelists I have mentioned repeatedly rods 150 milee or more round a small aneloved track without onoo getting out of the Raddle. This may seeta a very poor foat when pat alongside some of our present records, Int these tracks were oftez sight or ten laps to the ile, and with the baking necessary to negotiate the carners the aplaning round and round mast have been almost madden ing. One of our own rider, E. Hale, re- sently bout a big field of compotitors in an American six days' coutout, but the sufferings, mental and physical, endured by a few of the men were harrowing in their painfulues. Por gonally, I fail to see where the sport comes in Again, it is only a short time since Jenny" Walter, a well-known London ayoliet, rode and won a twelve hoxes' rare Without once leaving the saddle, and at the finish appeared little, if soy, the more for the ride. But who of tho oller school cannot remember the races pro- moted nailer the snapices of the late Six J. D. Astley, and what pitiful—if nöt actually de- grading scenes were witness during the closing stages, which the wrerz-pub peda, jaded, footsore, hard, and unkempt, pludded on mile after minio in order to secure one of the minor prizes. How often has my heart-bled for that poor ahi postumu from Cheshire, one Robou, who was never in the first Sight
snywhere near it, at this “wibbing" business, but who turbod up this after time' only to get hopelessly left. No big prize for him, but the premise of a vereign or two on condition of his keeping on the track, Jed him to thoroughlyeshana-Nature-to- pectedly. In those dead and gone days-gone, lot as kopo, never to be revived--it was no unsommon thing to find three or four com petitors only. Igiting a contest out on the lat few days, and vory humiliating spectacles they ware Vaughan, of Chostor, was one of the few who always appeared trained, and sɔ nies was his style that he was always a popular favourite. I wonder what these men (if any of 341 them happen to have survived their dental exertion) think of present day fonts and. 18 rizos azured: Take the recent 24 hours' ride -of-Cordang's, 38 au instance. Something -like. £500 was spent in arrangements, and for bunting zooond, with paners and windshields and thou rest of it, he would accury something like 22,000, Poor old Payton-Weston would turn grson with 'onry at the mere mention of wash faotu
