 watch, gold chain, gold seal and dia-
 mond ring, all valued at $15O, in 1:03. < Sidney J. Harvey of New Haven won 8 second, $100 diamond stud and George i H. Thatcher of New Haven third, a $50 < diamond ring.
 A At the conclusion of the regular sched- < uled races it was announced that Riser { of Dayton, O., would ride an exhibition 2 half mile paced by J. H. Barry of Syra- cuse and O. $. Brandt of Springfield, | Mass, on Stearns' tandem. Riser \ took a flying start and as he went over ! the tape on the commencement he was i5close to his pacing team, but as he start Y ed up the homestretch he let out for a Z fast finish and passed the pacers, mak- sl ing the half in 57 2-5 seconds, the best X half ever made on the track. The rec- ~ ord forithis event, 51 2-5 seconds, is held { by Johnson, who made it at Chillicothe, { O., November 2 1894, under the same t conditions.
 4 The track on which Riser made his time yesterday is considered by the best Judges to be at least six seconds slow, \ so that Kiser's time was very close to x the record, and he gives fair promise of x doing great things before the season Is W over.

Harvey of this city on one of \ the new wheels turned out by the New N Haven Chair company for this race and gs called the New Haven" Harvey was |, also paced by Barry and Brandt on a \ tandem, taking flying start.
