the eastern division of the United States
army. expressed himself as being strong-
ly ine-favor of the bicycle in military life
‘ and urged that relay races be m fre-
quently run. Believing that the heel
would in future playan importantupart
in military circice. he himself became a
rider and has had a greatdoal ta sayabont
the present race. which was organised
almost on the strengths: his words of en-
couragement.
The blue andthe red colors were used
in this race to distinguish the sets of
riders who carried. one a dispatch from
the postmaster of Chicago to the postmas-
ter of this city; the other a dispatch from
General Wesley Merritt to GeneralMlles.
The blue riders represented the military;
the red. the postal service.
From almost the first day of the race
the riders were ahead of the schedule
time. and there was a strong rivalry and
hafdriding between the different colors
to distance one another. For the most
part the roads were found fair. and the
route arranged was a favorable one.
A Big Crowd at the finish.

bicycle rider in town who did not know
that the relay riders were far ahead of
W time. and that they would arrive not long
