IIJAY EATON WINSx The Ten-Mile Oyole Race A The Colosseum Henri Cissaor Is The Victim.\THE RESULT OF BAD TRAININGThe Third Mile More Than The Frenchman Could Stand.It W»s In 1.55 4-5, The Fastest ThatHas Been Ridden On The Loral TimberTrack—F. Carmine Gets The AmateurEvent In Fine Style-Hot Go For TheProfessional Handicap.Jay Eaton, of New York, the Indoorking, easily defeated Henri Clasac, ofFrance, in a ten-mile paced bicycle race at the Coloaseum last night. The time was 20.37 1-5. Cissac has his Imported Idea of training which Is to train up instead of down. Like the lute Turkish wrestler Yousouf he denied himself nothing in diet or In smoking or other Indulgences. The ruoe seemed to prove the American sys tern of training to be as superior to thi French system as the American navy has proved superior to the Spanish. Eaton simply plugged away at Cissac until ho broke his heart, as the riders term it, aud then went out and won with ease.Cissac started off In the lead and pedalled around In front of the American by twenty lengths in the first l$p. He staid In the lead for two milss. In the first lap of the third mile Eaton shot by him as If Clssac’s wheel was In a rock. The race was over then and there, as nothing but an accident could defeat the Indoor king. The pace was too hot for the Frenchman, the third mile being In 1.55 4-5—this being the fastest yet recorded on this track. At the end of five miles Eaton had a lead of one-half of a lap and the band got ready. At the end of five and a half miles Eaton had a full lap the lead, and the band struck up ‘‘Hall, Columbia. At the end of the seventh mile Eaton was leading by a lap and several cycle lengths.Cissac was tiring, and at times could not hold his pacemakers. At the finish of eight nrd a half miles Eaton was leading by a hr?!' mile, and going easily. Clssac’s pacers were of no use to him. He could not hold them, and despite the cries of ‘‘Alles’’ from his csmp followers he was unequal tt the emergency and couldn’t allei worth a cent. Eaton won by four aud a half laps.Cissac did not prove to be an easy loser, and what be said to his pacemakers whs evidently a plenty, but as he could only say It In French the pacemakers were not bothering, being unable to understand blra. The pacemakers said his defeat was due to “fool Ideas about training. The time of the nice by miles was as follows:1—2.02: 2—8.59; 3 5.54 4 5 ; 4-7.57 2 5; 5 9.59; 0 12.02 2-5 ; 7-14 10 3-5; 8—16.20 1 5; 9—18.34 2 5; 10- 20.37 1 5.There were so many entries In the professional mile handicap that It had to be split Into four trial heats. The feature of the ruce was the running of the fourth of these heats by A. C. Merteus. of 8t Haul, who was a scratch man. He wal applauded by the 2,500 people present.\V. C. Watkins, the State hnndicapper. said the racing made him think he was suffering from paresis. He had haudlcapped the men most intelligibly, but the results were curious. Robert Waltboui, who has been riding miles and winning In 2.01 4 5. could no\ qualify In 2.13 4 5, II. R. Steenson. who has been riding In 2.01. failed to qualify In a heat, as he did notride the mile better than 2.33.The amateur avrntch race was one which brought out only Baltimore riders. It was von in good style by F. Carmine.Now that Cissac has been beaten theColosseum management Is endeavoring tohave some one beat his victor. John 8. Johnson will have a try at Eaton at t Colosseum Tuesday night and the race will probably be the greatest of the season.They are to race 15 mile*, paced.
