Fat Men Race, July 4, 1911.
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 ha 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". Number one in the picture is John Ott
and number two is Clifford M. Ott, 14 years old. Tylden was our neighbor.
