In a cyc!e race a competitor wobbled, and another, McKenzie, touohed his front wheel, the consequence being that the Utter swerved off the track and was flung into a crowd of offioials ar>a others kneedng to see the finish. He strnok the beil ringer, Morgan, head to head, and was laid out. It was soma time before he recovered consciousness.
