The Harvard Bicycle Club defeated the Tech. 'Cycling Club last Saturday in a very exciting road race. By the conditions of the contest each club could enter as many men as it pleased, but only the first five of each team were o count. Of these ten men, the first was to count ten points, the second nine points, and so on. The course was from the Beacon street extension out around the Chestnut Hill reservoir, then back to the starting point, then again around the reservoir, finishing near the starting point. Bailey, of Harvard, rode three machines in the course of the race and had a bad fall but managed to come in third in spite of it. The race between Greenleaf, of Harvard, and Norton, of Technology, was very close, Greenleaf winning by only about three feet. Here is the score:
