Betting was lively, Osen, Smith and Ziegler being the favorites. The scratch men were Ziegler, J. C. Smith and Oscar Osen. A. M. Hobson and C. J. Belloli were given thirty seconds handicap and J. T. Bailey and C. J. Sullivan forty seconds each. The starting point was Quincey's motor-house, and the handicap men kept their lead till McLaughlin avenue was reached. There Sullivan was first, Bailey second, Belloli third and Hobson fourth. The scratch men came next, with Ziegler first and Osen and Smith following. On the King road the three scratch men passed the handicaps, and Osen led the race when the turn into Alum Rock avenue was made on the homestretch. Ziegler was second. Then the exciting race began. When about 400 yards from the finish Ziegler made a remarkable spurt, and began to crowd up until he took the lead. He crossed the finish mark first, making the run in 14m. 42 1.5s., amid wild cheering; J. C. Smith second, 14m. 45s.; Oscar Osen third, 14m. 45 2-5s., and Sullivan fourth, 15m. 11s. All of these broke the coast record of 15m. 48 1-5s., made by J. C. Smith of this city, who was in this morning's race.
SAN Jose, August 19. - The five-mile handicap road race, under the auspices of the San Jose Road Club, came off to-day. The start was made at the corner of Alum Rock and McLaughlin avenues, and the finish was made at a point on McLaughlin avenue about 300 yards from the starting point. It was expected that the Coast record for the distance, 13:57, held by Otto Ziegler, would be broken, as Floyd McFarland and Ted Belloli, the two scratch men, have been in training for some time in preparation for the event.
