Early yesterday morning the ntreeta were ftiU
of wheelmen from all sectionn of the aouth, and
the knickenbockered wheelmen could be neen al
most anywhere. The occasion waa the opening
day of the southern bicycle tournament. Tbs
parade started from the Rankin houne at 2:80
o'clock, where a large crowd had gathered to wit
ness the start.
At Star park a large crowd had assembled to
witness the races. It is estimated that no occa
sion has ever attracted a larger number of specta
tors to the park. The number of ladies present
was large and gratifying.
The first race—a one mile novice—was won by
C. H. Dillingham, of this city, in 3:26%, with E. L.
Pease, of this city, a good second. The two
seemed to be well matched, and under more
fhvorable circumstances, it would have been hard
to tell the wiuner.
The second race, a hal f mile safety, was won by
R. H. Polk, of Montgomery, Ala., in 2:21, Dilling
ham second.
The third was the race of the day, being the
five mile Georgia championship. There were
four entries for this race, but only two of them
came to the scratch, Messrs. T. L. Ingram, of this
city, and C. T. Guernsey, of Macon. The men
started off well, but on the back stretch Guern
sey’s pedal came loose. He changed wheels and
on the next lap remounted his own wheel, giving
Ingram a good start on him. Ingram finished
easily in 17:24%.
The fourth race was the half mile boys’ handi
cap; won by G. H. Mason, of this city, in 1:48%;
Will Bedell, of this city, 2d.
The fifth race, a one mile bicycle handicap, was
won by C. H. Dillingham, having 225 yards
start, and E. L. Pease came in second from the
| 250 yards mark; P. W. Stone, of St. Louis, from
scratch, never reached the handicap men, and
made the mile from scratch in 2:56%. The win
ner’s time fVom 225 yards was 2:44.
The sixth race would have been a close one
and any man the winner but for a fall taken by
Guernsey on the back stretch. J. A. Lewis, of
St. Louis, finished first in 1:26, and T. L. Ingram
% of a second behind. Guernsey entered a pro
test and claimed that Lewis ran into him, but
Lewis says Guernsey is mistaken about it.
The seventh race, a half-mile handicap, wa s
won by J. A. Lewis in 1:26, with Dillingham sec
ond from the 30-yard mark by % second.
The last race was a quarter-mile—open—and
was won by P. W. Stone, of St. Ixiuis, in 40 sec
onds, with O'. H. Dillingham second.
The races were all interesting and pleased the
crowd, who seemed to enjoy them very much, and
no doubt every one who was out yesterday will
be there this evening.
THE RACES TO-DAY.
The fun will start oft* to-day by the road race at
9 o’clock. The start will be made at the Rankin
House. The distance 6 9-16 miles,finishing at the
starting point. The route is up Broad to Twelfth
street to and straight out Second avenue, over
Rose Hill to the two mile post by Mr. Garrard’s
and the brick school house and through Wynn-
ton down Wynn’s hill and Tenth street to the
finish at the Rankin House. The entries are
Stone, Lewis, Brantley and Ingram. Doubtless a
large crowd will be all along the route to see the
racers.
The races this afternoon are as follows:
1. Two-mile bicycle, handicap; 1st prize, stu- j
dent lamp; 2d, scarf pin; 3d, silver card receiver.

The attendance to-day should, and no doubt
will, be much larger.
Guernsey took quite u hard fall yesterday and
is pretty sore from it, but will put in some good
spurts in the one mile championship to-day.
Stone succeeded in lowering the southern one
mile record from 3:10 to 2:56%.
Brantley, of Macon, who won the handicap
there July 5th, will be here to-day and will no
doubt do some good work.
Messrs. Tuggle, Lequin and Odom acted as
time keepers, and will act in the same capacity
to-day.
The trick and fancy riding will be interesting.
The contestants will do a number of difficult
acts, among them riding on one wheel.
Every time the ladies applauded the boys
spilled and got down to their work as if they ap
preciated it.
The ladies were out in full force, and seemed to
enjoy the racing as much as any one.

D/F. Wxllcox, Agent Traveler*’ Insurance Oo :
Dear Sir—A few yenn ago yon induced me to
take out an Accident Policy Its the Travelers, and
upon your persuasion I have kept It up year by
year, not at nil anticipating the possible benefit
to accrue. But I have now to thank you for it
as well as for the Company’s Check of $353.57 in
payment of my claim for many weeks of disabil
ity, the result of a very pafufol accident, threat
ening the lost of my right hand. After this ex
perience of how it is “the unexpected which al
ways happens,” I shall certainly keep up my
Accident Policy, and I shall not forget the
promptness of the Company in paying my claim
as soon as the amount could bemeoertained.
