A Greaf Race.

There were very few features of yester-
days contest in the great six-day race.
The riders both rode fast and hard all day.
Schock never left his wheel, but Prince
went Off at about 6 o'clock for two and
half minutes, and lost five laps. All day
there was no passing by either except in
the first and fourth hours, when Prince
made his phenomenal spurts and gained
lap each time. Thereafter Schock set
terrific pace and Prince rode close up
behind. The attendance was large and the
excited interest quite pronounced. When
the band would strike up a lively air
Schock bent down to his work and went
spinning around the rink at noble pace,
exciting the widest enthusiasm. Every
day OF the race thus far the cyclists have
gained on the worlds record until now
it is over thirty-eight miles behind
them. When an even hundred miles go up
for either on the huge bulletin board it is
signal for applause. Schock on such occa-
sions appears absolutely unconscious Of the
honor, but Prince smiles his appreciation.
AS the days roll by their appetites seem to
increase if anything. The amount Of raw
materials their respective cooks are obliged
to get into condition for these pair of
ravaciouS eaters is enough to appall any
their gigantic work they must be fed They
are great drinkers as well. Many are the
bottles of ginger ale consumed, and many
the glasses of ice water. They seem to be
particularly fond Of icicles, also. and keep
their attendants busy supplying their wants.
Schock'S rocking motion was even more
emphatic than on the previous day.
1t appears to rest him to tip and wabble
about on his Champion wheel, and in so do
ing he presents grotesque spectacle. The
Jap was among the interested spectators
last night He pronounced the race per-
fectly wonderful, and was 10th to leave the
rink when time was called. There was
also quite party up from ST. Paul to see
the unprecedented feat performed. Both
men surprised their hackers and most
sanguine admirers with their wonderful
speed. One man who bet on Prince re-
marked:
Had I supposed Schock could have driven
that machine as fast as he has done / should
have been constrained to have bet on him in
stead of Prince, but then I am satisfied as it
is, and am willing to wager $500 more on
Prince.
There is very little betting. The early
part Of the week Schock was the favorite
and odds were given on him, but yesterday
the odds were in Princes favor. Neither
men appeared at all distressed after the
four days desperate tussle with the wheel.
However, they were somewhat fatigued
In the race in which Schock beat the
worlds record he covered 166 miles and 6
laps and Woodside 157 miles and five laps
on the fourth day, but yesterday Prince
made TIA miles and 1 lap and Schock TIA
miles and laps. The closing of the day
was intensely exciting. In the last two
minutes Prince forged ahead to gain lap
For lap Schock kept close behind, but
soon Prince began to pull away and had
nearly gained his coveted lap when one of
the scorers yelled thine up" and Prince
Stacked up. Schock on the contrary shot
ahead and regained the lost distance. This
circumstance ruffied Princes temper con-
siderably. The score by hours is as fol-
lows:
