The competition was sN great that the
riders were forced to taA& any place they
could get. The first heat of the half-mile
handicap was run twice, owing to an over
sight the first time to give notice to the
riders Of the last lap. Schade qualified for
third place in the first trial. but in the
second attempt he did not make any at
tempt to qualify.
There were only two spills. Harry Greer
and A. C. Moran in the final Of the mile
open struck each other on the first turn.
Both riders were thrown. but Greer got
the worst of the accident. and was carried
of the field, while Moran remounted and
kept on securing q place. There was some
misunderstanding about the final Of this
lap, and the riders thought they were made
to ride more than a mile. Greer was found
to have received several bruises. but he
pluckily came out again and rode in the
one-mile tandem. In the second heat of
the two-mile handicap Wilson and Sims
collided almost at the tape. and both were
thrown. Neither suffered injury, but their
chances of qualifying were ruined. The
most serious spill of the afternoon oc-

program. and the last race was the one
mile run and ride. 1t was getting dark
quite rapidly when the men were going,

tries and the men rode and ran half of the
distance: Sims managed to come out a
winner by fully twenty yards, while the
tnird man was more than that distance to
