Kane (scr), with 40min. 46sec., and E. B. Taylor scr. 40min. 46 l-ssec., was next. On the return journey from Kimbell, R. Hammond led the way through Fairlie, and he was closely followed by Patton, Whyte, and Dixon. Then came Kane and Taylor, the two scratch men, Cook and Wall U minutes later. A very large crowd witnessed the final stages of the race in drizzling rain.
