1 mile, Men

Although heats were planned for the one mile championship, they were not contested because there were not enough entries. The two semi-finals were won by Marcus Hurley and Burton Downing. The finals were contested by Hurley, Downing, Teddy Billington, and Oscar Goerke. The quartet took turns pacing in the final with Goerke leading at the bell at which time TBillington pulled alongside him. On the first turn of the last lap, Downing’s back wheel slipped and he barely stayed upright, losing at least five lengths. Hurley took the lead on the backstretch of the last lap and won the race by four lengths from Downing, who had come back to defeat Billington in the stretch by inches.
