Framed Print of Return of the Anchor Shield...by the winner, Mr. A. E. Walters, ...Polytechnic Cycling Club, 1895. Creator: Unknown
Return of the Anchor Shield on March 23, by the winner, Mr. A. E. Walters, of the [all-male?] Polytechnic Cycling Club, 1895. One of the most delightful centres in the southern cycling world is the Anchor at Ripley. It has long been the rendezvous for hundreds of riders who appreciate the beauty of the scenery en route to this Surrey village. In fact, as regards cyclists, all roads lead to Ripley. The Misses Dibble have shown their interest in the recreation of their many guests by presenting a handsome shield for competition among various clubs. On March 3 there was a picturesque procession of cyclists from Ditton to Ripley, for the purpose of handing over this trophy. The long line, of riders was headed by the captain, officers, and members of the Polytechnic Cycling Club, followed by the past presidents and officers of the Southern Cyclists Camp and the past presidents and officers of the Northern Cyclists Camp. Then came the Anchor Shield, carried on a tandem safety bicycle by the winner, Mr. Albert E. Walters, Polytechnic C.C. who won it with the record performance of 258 miles 120 yards in twelve hours. He was followed by Mr. W. T. Walton, of the same club, who rode 234 miles 750 yards in twelve hours'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
