The' Yankee was ungentlcmnnly
enough not‘r‘to get out of the carriage

Danhury Bicyclist Killed While _
Training on the Track.
Died While 0n the Way to the Hospital;
Homer W. Sturges, a’ well—known
was
killed in a head-on collision between
bicycles last evening. He was training
on the track at the fair grounds, and
many people who had gone there to see
a. scrub race witnessed the accident.
Sturges left the wire with a pacer for a.
turn around the track against time.
Charles Clark, another racing man, was
riding in the opposite direction. The
two men met on a turn. Both were
riding very fast, and Sturges was
thrown against the rail with fearful
force. When their friends reached
them both were unconsolous. Clark
partly recovered in a short time, but
Sturges died without recovering con-
sciousness. ' His skull was fractured in
two places. His nose and one arm were
broken and several ribs were fractured.
The fair grounds are two miles from
the city, and riders, in racing costumes,
rode into the city for physicians. Stur-
ges was alive when the doctors arrived,
but he died in the ambulance while on
the way to the hospital. Nearly one
hundred wheelmen accompanied the
ambulance through the streets. Stur-
ges, who was 24 years old, had been
racing two years.
