Wright (New Zealand), '2Bmin., was fifth, and O'Shea (New Zealand) made the fastest time. Received Oct. 15, 5.5 p.m. Melbourne, Oct. IV An enormous crowd gathered to witness the finish of the Warrnambool to Melbourne cycle race. When the first competitors were sighted the spectators got out of control; mounted police vainly tried to keep them in hand, and were compelled to turn water hoses on them. This resulted in a general melee, during which a number of competitors in the race fell over. Two hundred started in the race, which was won by three lengths. The time was 9 hours 20 minutes 8 seconds. O’Shea’s time was 8 hours, 59 minutes, 8 seconds. He also won the fastest time from scratch in 1911. Nearing the finish a non-competitor tried to pace the leading group and brought down Osborne, who was leading. Many riders straggled in after darkness fell.
