Ths second annual tournament under the auspices of the Seaforth 'Bicycle Club was held on the new reereatiOn grounds.in this town on Wednesday last. The . weather- ,was not as favorable as could be desired, as the day opened out gloomy and with rain threatening, and -indeed there • were a couple of light showers. It cleared up nicely, however, about noon, although it still remained sufficiently cool to make it unpleasant for oniciokers, `While the winctwas rather high for, the i comfort of the bicyclists, and_ prevented the competitors eking as good, time as they would hale done under more .favorable circumstances. Still, notwithstanding these draw -backs the affair. was 'eminently successftel, and a large ,crowd of people were brought together, and the number On theouds during the afternoon who wanes ed the races in have exceedsed one th, usand people. , Wednesday being the civic holiday in the, town of Woodstock, and several of their wheelsmen being entered for the teuenament, there was Et very large turnout of people from that ambi- tious, sprang town: The neighboring towns and villages were well represented, .and considering the busy season there was a considerable sprinkling of ceuntry people. , At the appointed hour all the wheelsneen . assembled on the Market square, and when each Man got m unted on his-endurin but exceedingly tr. acher- (ma steed, the proicession was formed. There were 89 bicyclists who took part in the procession, which, headed by the Sea - forth Band, " marched." through the principal streets of the town and then to the 'grounds *here the races were to take place. The races were mode ately well filled, as Some of those who entered failed to etarti Several of them, how- ever, were keenly. contested, while, owing to the accidents, in the way of " headers " which were numerous, others were nauch- less interesting, as where there are only two or three in a race and one becomes disabled or gets behind by falling from his machine the interest in that race ceases. The five mile race between Clark of Woodstock, and Foster of Toronto, was the most exciting of the clay.. It was a fair and thorough test of speed,endurance and skill,, and both -cornpetitors ' did their best. Sometimes one was ahead and sometimes the 'other, and at no time was there mu -ch differenee between them; and the last lap it wakimposible to pre. di c t who would win the race. On the ho e stretch, however, Clarke Made one of hese great bursts„of speed for which he is noted and drew to the front, but he wasclosely pursued by Foster and bo h machines crossed the scare almost ab east, Clark winning by about eight in•hes. It was a very close and inter - es ng race. ' The following is a list of th successful competitors, and the time m de in each race: LUB RAGE. -A Gold Medal. Three s ted in this race, viz.: F. W.
