their charges to indulge In sleep to their full
desire at that time would prove serious after a
week Of such continuous work and fatigue.
The riders were really In a more precarious
condition at the finish than they had been at
any other time in the struggle some OF the ex-
pert trainers say that their vigilance over their
collapsed charges will Lave 10 continue until to-
day. when they will be able TO bring them

moment that the tension was removed they fell
back utterly Indifferent to whether the world
continued TO exist or not
MANAGERS GREEDY FOR GAIN
The Garden was thronged all the afternoon
and night. and. after p. m. seats in the am
phitheatre were few and far between. In spite
Of the fact that the price OF admission had been
doubled 1t was said that the price OF seats In
the boxes had been raised TO 81 81, and yet there
were few left even at that figure.
Programmes were Soda few OF them-at -
cents each. Fortunately. few persons allowed
themselves to be robbed in this manner. The
mana gers would have made more money. proba
bly, had they stuck TO the original price Ten
cents more than sufficient to charge for
sucd programme for the same sheet has done
service all the week. and the advertisements
alone have more than paid the cost Of produc-
ton Baseball score sheets are never sold for
more than five cents. and racetrack pro-
gramme for double that amount. although no
advertisements are allowed on the latter. Such
practices have ruled In the Garden In the last
few days will injure any sport. and they snouid
not be tolerated.
THE LEADERS GO ON STRIKE.
The prizes given to the riders. considering the
handsome profits made by the promoters. are
meagre indeed. Besides the regular prizes Of
fered. the managers promised to give an addi-
tional prize Of 500 to the man who broke the
record made by Hale last year II an

ditional prizes would be given to the riders who
remained on the track to the end but the train

were TO receive. About o'clock the handlers

DULL TINES FOR THE SPECTATORS
The other riders continued to plod around the
track. probably thinking that their efforts to
amuse the spectators would touch responsive
cord In the hearts OF the managers. Hale. the
dethroned champion plugged around the track

The absence OF the leaders after CLOCK
