The second fast race was contested by Messrs. Taylor, Wagner, and Beal, the former winning in 3:50.

A moonlight run was taken about town by the club and their guests, the Detroit and Saline boys, and after that they adjourned to Hanks. B. P. Davenport, F. D. Ford, Elnier Briggs and Fred Corden, who were from Saline, rode home later in the evening, while the Detroit boys started for home at four the next morning on their wheels. The first races of the Ann Arbor club were thus successfully and pleasantly concluded.
