Thirty Mile Race With Chase In
Madison Square Garden.
CHASE WAS DISABLED
RAN INTO TWO TANDEM TEAMS
AND BADLY CUT.
This Happened In His Twenty-sixth
Mile, But, Michael Was Then a
Mile and Half Ahead-Winner
Gets 81, 500 and Loser $1,000
Sporting News.

New York, Dec 25.-Jimmy Michael
of Wales, the recognized middle dis
lance bicycle champion of this coun-
try, met Arthur A. Chase. the middle
distance champion of England tonight
at Madison Square Garden in Bonnie
race over a ten-lap board track, and
won so easily, despite bad spill, that
the bicycle experts are guessing just
how good the little "Rarebit'' is. Pluck,
endurance, stamina and every other
quality that goes to establish the pos
session of grit, seem TO be embodied in
every inch of the Welshman. Nothing
seems to tire him.
GREAT CROWD.
The building was thronged to it's ut
most capacity when Michael; the mid
get, and Chase the leviathan, jumped
on their respective wheels for a few
preliminary spins around the track,
which measured one foot over the
necessary distance to make it ten laps
to the mile At the turns the board
track was banked as high as ten
feet from the level of the boarded floor
of the garden.
| 1t was announced that the winner
would get 20 per cent of the gross re-
! ceipts and the losers end would be Is
per cent.
The managers of the show guaran-
teed that the winner would get $1,000
and the loser $1,000 but judging from
the crowded condition of the house the
amount of money which the cracks got
! was far in excess of the guarantee.
Both got on their marks at 1918, and
before they mounted their respective
wheels they shook hands.
PRECAUTION.
1t was announced that in case either
man fell during the first four laps, the
riders would be recalled, and this pre-
caution took effect in the first lap.
Chase got tangled up with his leaders
after the race was started at lO:l6
O'Clock. and at the end of the lap the
men were ordered back to the scratch
mark
Chase won the toss and took the pole.
He started out at a rapid gait, but the
little WelShman soon overlook him, and
at the end of the second mile was over
a lap ahead.
Michael gained another lap in the
fourth mile, and the spectators cheered
the little wonder vociferously. Mich
ael was simply invincible, and at the
finish of the fifth mile he gained an
other lap on his countryman.
MISUNDERSTANDING PACE.
Both men picked up their tandems
very cleverly Michael kept up heart
breaking pace, and at the finish of the
seventh mile was five laps to the good
AT the finish of the 18th mile Michael
spurted and gained another lap, which
put him six laps ahead.
In the 14th mile two of MichaePs pa
GERS went over the bank, but were not
seriously injured.
In the next mile, on the fourth lap
Michael ran high up on the Madison
avenue turn, and both men fell in {
heap, their PAGERS also taking drop
per-
Michael remounted his wheel and go
another lap to the good before Chase
recovered himself. At the end of thu
18th mile Michael was 13 laps ahead.

CHASE DISABLED.

In the 26th mile Chase fell heavily
at the Fourth avenue turn, and was
unable to go on with the race. He ran
into two tandem teams and was badly
cut up.
In the smash-up Chase's bicycle was
broken. He borrowed Taylor's wheel,
but had to leave the track. Had Chase
been able to continue, however, he
probably would have been beaten by
about two miles, as Michael was almost
that distance ahead of him when the
accident occurred, and was rapidly
gaining.

Pat as a Mariner.

The captain of one Of the big schoon.
ers that bring ice from the Kennebec
to Washington tells this story of an
1rishman he shipped. Pat wanted to
get from Washington to Norfolk and
he had no money. His story excited
the sympathy Of the shipmaster who
tinall y agreed to let him work his pas
sage. Pat was willing, but densely
ignorant Of all things maritime, aud
no real sea duty fell to him until the
vessel was sailing down Chesapeake
bay with fair wind and plenty Of
sea room, The captain then told Pat
to take turn at lookout forward, and
instructed him to promptly report
anything he might see. TWAS clear
night, and soon after the lookout took
his position, he sang out:
"Ah, Captain.
"Well, Pat"
''There's something out here fore
ninst the boat"
''What is it?" said the captain, to
test Pats seafaring knowledge, the
lights Of an approaching vessel being
visible.

Most Appetizing of Vegetable Fruits

|
The presence all through the winter
OF canned tomatoes, and the long
sight, if not taste, Of the early, flavor
less product, makes the fruit, when it
reaches us in its profusion aud perfec-
ton, somewhat discredited as q novel
ty. It must remain, however, one of
the most wholesome and refreshing as
well as appetizing Of our vegetable
fruits. Stewed fresh tomatoes one
ought never to be tired Of, AID tomato
salad, when the fruit is ripe, cold, and
properly dressed, ranks all table salads
to the taste Of most epicures. For
luncheon or the Sunday night tea,
whole tomatoes, the top evened of
and first generously treated with salt
and pepper, then busted with chopped
parsley and bit Of grated onion, and
served with thick mayonnaise, is
dish to remember The fruit should
be scalded, peeled, and thoroughly
chilled before being submitted to the
tlavoring process. When it is wished
to chill tomatoes that have been scald
ed very quickly, lay pieces on ice on
each, and dust little salt over the
ice. The skins of the tomato should
never be eaten. They are absolutely
inligestible.
