Final
The time limit in the final was exceeded, resulting in the race being declared void and no medals being awarded. Two of the three British riders, Kingsbury and Johnson, did not finish, leaving the race to Jones and the Frenchman, Schilles. According to the Official Report, "the Frenchman apparently won by inches, but the Judge did not officially place the riders[Cook, p. 116] ." ]Notes
