EARRINGS INJURIES.

Driver Sam Earring, who drove Mary
land Eoy. one of Tuesdays runaways,
was more seriously injured than was at
first supposed. One of the bones in his
instep was broken and he appeared on
crutches yesterday. The fracture was
not however, sufficiently serious to pre-
vent him from driving his entry, Billy
II in the 2.29 pace.
Regarding the PomD runaway also
on Tuesday, it was ascertained that the
accident was caused by a broken axle
and not bv collision with the fence
as was reported yesterday. This ex-
planation is made in Justice to G.. A.
Horner, the driver, who was not guilty
of poor driving.
The bicycle events were exceedingly
fast and interesting. The only COM
petition eve.'t being the two mile lap
race. Eleven men lined up, with Os-
wald, Pole, and McMichael, White,
Gregory, Palmer, Kellar, Strong, Marsh,
Dunn, Ernst and Hall in the order
named
At the pistol the line moved out well
together until the first turn was reach
ed when the fight for positions began.
They kept well punched to the home
stretch, when White shot out, followed
by McMichael and Keller. A pretty
fight for the tape ensued, McMichael
winning this lap, with White and Kel-
Ter second and third respectively.
Strong started the sprint in the sec
ond .ap but was promptly overhauled
by McMichael and White, the former
again winning with the latter second
and Strong third in blanket finish.
KELLAR WOKE UP.
In the first of the third lap, Keller
woke up with a long sprint, followed
by McMichael and White. The latter
succeeded in passing the Berwick boy,
but Keller fully held his own, winning
the lap, with White second and Me-
Michael third.
The last lap in this kind of race is
the most important as the winner of it
receives an extra point. The riders
broke into the stretch like a whirlwind
on this lap, evidently intending to
shake some of the slower men off.
They did 1t. Keller worked up an un-
beatable sprint just around the turn
before entering the stretch, with Strong
and Gregory tackled on, and finishing
ahead the bunch in the same order
Keller won out with eight points; Nc
Michael second, with seven, and White
third, with six points in sos.

1t required nine heats yesterday to
decide the two horse events at the horse
end bicycle race meet at the Scranton
Driving park. 1t was the exception
rather than the rule where heat was
finished without gamey drive at the
wire.
In addition to bruising finishes Jim"
Justin, an old and experienced driver,
gave a sensational exhibition of a ner-
wy piece of driving. Ralph Gregory
and Ben Keller, of this city, broke n
worlds tandem record. The 2.O9 pace,
purse $3.50, was won by Bellman in five
heats, and the 2.20 trot or pace, purse
S400 was won by Bessie A in four heats
Keller, McMichael and White finished
as named in the two-mile lap race Obi
Old III Justin's driving feat was
a wonderful bit of ribbon handling and
possibly saved himself and some other
drivers from injury. He was driving
Bessie A in the second heat of the star
event. The off tire Of his sulky be-
canned loosened on the drst turn and
threatened to either block the wheel
or cause Spill" Justin caught the
tire in his hand when IL swung within
reach. He continued to drive with his
left hand, the right grasping the tire
and whip. In this position and with
his horse in consequence badly handi-
capped he flashed by the grandstand
alongside Teresa 3, the pair a half
length behind Dolly Spencer.

Positions are taken at each lap. First
man getting 8 points; second, two, and
third, one, until the last lap, the winner
of which gets points.
Immediately following the lap race,
Ralph Gregory and Ben Keller rode a
half-mile exhibition on their Spaulding
tandem for the worlds amateur un-
paced tandem record, which was 55:4-5
seconds. They rode a mile to warm
up before nodding their readiness to the
starter.
VERY FAST TINE.
They crossed the tape, strong and
steady going we'll to the quarter in 27
seconds The horsemen on the track
thought the first quarter too fast be-
lieving the boys had used themselves
up for that distance, but it was very
evident to the wheelmen who watched
the steadiness of the pace they were
holding, that the record was in danger.
They rounded like whirlwind into
the stretch, finishing straight and
strong in the phenomenal time of 80
and 1-2 seconds, thereby making a new
worlds record, amid great applause
and yelling.
This will be a banner day at the
Driving Park. Two star horse events.
the free-f -for-ail, purse $500, and the
225 trot, purse $500, are to be decided.
and there will be in addition the race
| for the bicycle championship of
Northeastern Pennsylvania and a two
mile open bicycle event.
For the free-for-all there are now
! stabbed at the track and ready for the
race today Raven (2.10), Ella T, 2.OSAD,
| Hal Pointer (2.04lO, Veta (2.09AD,

! others, amounting to a total of IL en-
| tries, excluding Mabel w who was in
| jured on Tuesday. The entries are
| from five states. Twelve are entered
| for the 2.25 trot.
The card for the day is undoubted-
ly the best ever offered in Scranton,
and it will probably attract q large
crowd.

FINISHED SECOND.

Justin held this position around the
turn and ND the backstretch and did
not release his hold on the tire until
well into reach for home and near the
grandstand. He finished second by a
nose from Teresa B with Dolly Spen-
Ger and Spain alongside. Not more
than half length separated the whole
four. Never during the heat did JUS
tins horse make a skip. After dis
mounting he was -neered to the echo
but the strain of his effort had told
on him and he fell exhausted on the
grass near the judges stand. Ice water
revived him and he was assisted off
the course. When Justin reappeared
on the track for the third heat he was
again loudly applauded. Veteran horse
men said his feat performed amid q
field of nine horses, was the most Won
derful thev had ever witnessed on a
race course.
1t was nearly 3 o'clock when the 2.29
pacing class were rung to the post.
Out of twelve original entries only
three were withdrawn, Eva Bell, Tim
Der Lake and Macleavy. 1t was a good
field of nine to score. Maggie Davis ex-
cepted and she had the best of the
word on the third attempt, but broke
badly on the first turn and gave the
lead to Billy II.
Billy H and Bellman came neck and
neck into the reach for home, the for
