Yesterday the three-cornered bicycle
race at Washington rink. Minneapolis, pre-
sented much the same appearance it has all
the week. The contestants and their train
ers were all wide awake and watching fof
an opportunity to creep mile or so ahead
of the other. Both Morgan and Schock
retired from the track about o'clock in the
morning and remained off until $50.
Neither one dared take off his clothes for
fear that the other would find it out and
get out on the track. The race is now in
such condition that the less sagacious
rider will lose it. After coming on the
track again at $50 in the morning both
riders seemed greatly refreshed and rode as
though they were just starting in. Outside
OF having that weary look incident to long
| rides, and being a tri1e lame, both men are
in good condition, and considerable good
riding is promised for to-day and to-mor-
row. Armaindo was off considerable dur
ing the early morning, but announces her
self as
IN BETTER CONDITION
than at any time since the race commenced.
The pains in her back have left her, and
now the loss of sleep is the only thing that
causes her the least uneasiness. Shortly
before 10 o'clock yesterday morning, while
she was riding at moderately fast pace,
her eyes closed involuntarily, and the spec
tatOrs noticed her wheel began to wabble.
While they were watching her the wheel
left the track and ran into the fence which
outlines the track. The French lady took
flying leap over the front wheel and
landed in heap on the outside of the rail-
ing. When all assistant arrived she was

think what figure she must have cut as
over the fence she flew. She was re-
mounted on her wheel, and for an hour or
so gave Morgan and Schock plenty to do to
keep up with her. Both Morgan and
Schock went off the track at II 2S a. m.
and remained off until 1890. Armaindo
went off at 1927 p. m. and came on again
at 1:27, looking as bright as a new silver
dollar. At the eighty-Sixth hour the score
stood: Morgan, S69 miles laps; Schock,
500 miles 2 laps; Armaindo, $50 miles
laps.
in THE EVENING.
There was a large attendance in the
evening and the contestants, appreciating
the interest that was being taken, did some
lively riding. Morgan, who has been five
eighths of mile ahead of Schock for the
last 100 hours, seemed to think this was
not enough, and early III the evening started
TO increase the difference. Both men rode
rapidly. but Morgan kept surging ahead
until he was precisely six laps in the lead.
The audience went wild while this squirting
was going ON, and considerable money was
put up on Morgan's making or not making
his mile within given time. ArmaindO
was not saying word, but she kept skip
ping right along, and rolled off laps in short
order. At 1925 the score stood:
Morgan, 934; Schock, 933 2; Armainuo, 1888.
All the contestants left the track at II
o'clock and slept until 2, when Morgan and
Schock returned to the track. Armaindo
was still sleeping. Morgan and
Schock looked much refreshed, the latter
seeming in the better condition. The score
at o'clock was: Morgan 975 miles laps,
Schock 975 miles, Armaindo 75S miles anC
3 laps.
