Date Created (ISO Standard):
1911-07-04
Description:
July 4, 1911. (Photo by Burns) Several fat men and Casper Tylden in the dark vest and pants entered the race. Someone said put a rider on the big Swede he is not a fat man, however he weighed the minimum. The other fat men who started the race had dropped out when the picture was taken. Tylden was just gaining his speed at this point and won the race by quite a margin. His comment after the race was, 'If we had to have gone further I would have beat him badly.' No. 1 in picture is John Ott and no. 2 Clifford M. Ott, 14-years-old. Tylden was our neighbor.
