Perhaps the most conspicuous performance was that of the Harley-Davidson machines. It is true that the concern had picked riders among the Swedish and Norwegian as well as the British competitors, but none the less the result was overwhelming. The Swedish national team on Husqvarna cycles, a Swedish make, won the prize for participating countries.
According to the rules, the next race should, therefore, oe held in Sweden. Mr. Loughborough, congratulating. the Swedes on the performance made a_ hearty promise that the British riders would return next year. The latest development, however, is that the Swedish organization, in view of the fact that the win was due merely to an accident to de la Have, have decided to propose that the next trial be laid in Great Britain, or, if this should be regarded as unfair by the Swiss, in some other country.—Reuter.
