The greatest siX-day bicycle race ever
run in the word IS drawing to close.
Yesterday. the ffth in the contest was the
best so far Of the race. The attendance
was much larger. and it seemed to inspire
the riders TO extra eyertiOns. Schock'>
wonder ful riding is feature Of the contest.
He did not intend to compete in this race.
as he considered it too short for him. but al
the last moment entered. and is now only
two and tive-eighthS miles behind
Morgan. who has been obliged
to keep going all the time to
keep Schock from taking the lead. Morgan
declares he don't want to ride many races
like this one. Sch0ck from the outset yes
terday set pace that looked as if it would
kill him and his competitors. but they all
stuck To il and the miles kept rolling up.
Too much cannot be said for Frank Ding
lev. the Minneapolis boy. He undoubt-
edly is the most plucky rider that
has vet taken part in a race
here. Without q days training he started
in the race. and for three days has ridden a
strange wheel. his own having been broken.
On the first day his shoe came loose and
gave him a bad header. He struck on his
face and fractured his jaw bone. He can
not use his jaw to chew, and consequently
has to live on liquid food. At times his
face
PAINS HIM TERRIBLY.
and he saws it is ali he can do to sit on hi:
bicvcle Notwithstanding all these draw
backs he holds third position by good lead
on Higham. 4 good word should be said
for Higham also. This race is the first il
which he has taken part in over two years,
and consequently he was what is termed by
trainers stale. Higham al one time
held the long-diStance championship
of England. In the race in which
he won the title he covered 1.040 miles.
but owing to some Iechnicality in the rules
governing races in Scotland, he never got
the record. He has been troubled with
fever and ague all summer. and the change
of clu.tate brought it back. and Monday.
besiCes being troubled with cramps, he had
quite a hard chill. Morgan is riding a
great race and does not belle what Eek aud
Wallace said about his ability last winter
when he challenged SchOck. and as the race
now stands he looks Ike the winner. SchOck
is the same Old Sch0ck. He eats and rides
and rides and eats Both these traits seem
to be second nature to him. He has i'm
proved wonderfully in speed. as is shown
by the record. and as Morgan Is only two
and one-half miles ahead of him and more
miles covered than by Prince or Woods de
it demonstrates Schock's wonderful i'm
prOvement in speed. Promptly on time the
men were started. Schock leading. Dingley.
Morgan and Higham following. Schock
made the first mile in $500. But little
squirting was INDUCED in until the evening.
when some of the best riding Of the race was
done. Higham showed some
TONDERFUL SPEED
considering his condition and set the audi
ence wild. After completing 607 miles
Morgan shot to the front. Schock endeav
ored TO hold him. but TO no purpose. Nor
gain gained lap after about three miles of
hard work. On his 550th mile Higham
limbered up and let out for a lap and did
some of the fastest riding seen during the
race. Dinglev took matters easy all the even
ing. To-day will be the hottest of
the race Schock says he will
make Morgan ride all day. Just before the
fl 81. Dingley tried for lap. with Higham
after him, and some great riding was done.
Morgan and Schnck we're SOON Tapped. At
the thirty-ninth hour every man in the race
was ahead of the record at this style OF
race. as follows: Morgan rs, SchOck 1863.
Dingley 139. and Higham 100 miles. All
of the records made by Prince are beaten.
4 large crowd will undoubtedly attend to-
night. as this is the best race that has ever
taken place here. Following Is the score
by hoUTS.
