 At the conclusion of the scheduled races George Thatcher rode to break the previous halfmile record of the track, which was :02. Thatcher paced by a tandem ridden by s. Williams and H. J. Bill, made the half in 100 2-5, thereby shaving three-fifths of a sec ond from the track half-mile record.
 l.. U. Sullivan then attempted to break the one-mile track record. He was paced by two tandems, a different one on each half-mile He rode the mile in 2:05 2-5 failing to equal the track record of 2:05. It is thought that Sullivan would have succeeded in low ering the record had he not been in- jured in one of the previous events. In the New Haven county handicap Pavis and Sullivan collided near the three-quarter turn and went in a heap, Sullivan having his wheel smashed and being cut and bruised considerably on the legs. The riders at that time were punched and it was only by the merest chance that all were not thrown in a heap.
 There was also aicolhsion in the final heat of the one mile novice race Just after the start, Pavis, Maynard and Forbes became tangled and fell in a confused heap This was on the first half of the final heat and in the second half of the same heat Thomas lost his seat soon after passing the grand stand. In none of these collisions were there any serious injuries received.
