A LONE RIDE.

Mr. A. D. Claflin, Harvard and Massachusetts Bicycle clubs, and Mr. H. D. Corey, Massachusetts Bicycle club, started last Wednesday night at 12 o'clock in an attempt to break the road record for twenty-four hours. In the early morning Mr. Claflin got a severe header, bruising and cutting himself badly, and though he pluckily rode over seventy miles more he was forced to give up at Newburyport, having ridden in all 107 miles in 10 3-4 hours. Mr. Corey continued and by 12 o'clock Thursday night had ridden 190 9-10 miles, thus beating the record by over 10 miles. He was accompanied during the last hour by Mr. Eliot Norton and the last 7 1-2 miles were made in 29 minutes, and 5 5-6 miles were made in 22 minutes.
