In the final two-lap sprint around the half-mile track, Lance Pugh, of Oshawa, won a clean-cut and brilliant victory to regain the title he held, back a few years ago. Completing the thrill for the Oshawa fans was the fact that Bill Hamilton, an- other' wearer of the Victor Cycle Club's red, white and blue shirts, came in a very close second. Lorne Atkinson, of Vancouver, most con- sistent rider of the day, finished third with R. Lemiux, of Mont- real, in 4th spot.
