the saddle wrapped up with rags and tow
els.

Shock Falls Again.

another fall that bruised his knees consid-
erably, and may prevent his equaling
Hale's record. He was on the second Ian
of his 1,2O4th mile when he went to sleep
on his wheel. He remarked as he made
the third turn Of the next lap that he was
gcing on for short sleep. Scarcely had
the words left his mouth when his crank
hanger struck the curve of the track, and
threw him heavily. He lay on the edge of
the track few moments, and then every
one rushed to his assistance, picked him
up and carried him to the training ROOM
This made the third fall the veteran has
mad since yesterday afternoon, his second
fall occurring about z O'Clock this morn
irg, when he fell asleep on his wheel and
ran into the benches. escaping any injury.

tion in all respects, except his stomach
He is suffering from this cause yet he
continues, while his trainers are endeavor-
ing to treat him long enough to enable

The other riders were coming up in the
race. Lawson was less than 100 miles be-
hind Shock. and had smashed the show
recent

Cassedy and Golden are fighting as hard
Tor fourth place as Lawson and Albert are
struggling for second honors. Golden is
less than forty miles ahead of Cassedy and
is working hard to keep the lead. Both
men rode steadily all the forenoon.

hour rest, and during his absence Albert
pedaled lively to gain his lost distance.

Billy Sims, the local rider went out on
the track about l o'clock for a spin of sew
erai miles. He received special permission
to ride, and as he neither paced nor took
pace from the professionals his amateur
status was not affected.
