the matter with him was considerable hoarse-
ness. caused by riding so long amid the tobacco
smoke of the Garden. He said he had gained
three pounds during the race, and. although th!s
has the aspect OF a fairy tale, yet his face
showed little trace of the strain he endured last
week. Frederick Skinner passed the night al
a Turkish bath, and afterward went to the Bel
vedere House. He was preparing to so out

prize. passed the night at the Putnam House.

CHANGE PROPOSED.
There is a good deal of talk about changing
| the form OF sx-day races. in case there are any
| in the future. It Is believed that the races
would be not only less debitating and danger
Gus to the health OF the riders. but also more
| interesting TO the public if the riders had
certain part of each twenty-four hours which
they obliged to spend of the track. To
make the race 1oo-hour race is another propo-
siton. Pat" Powers, one OF the managers Of
! the race, said yesterday:
| 1t is proposed 20 have the riders in future
six day contests forced t. sperd. say. six hours
or 50 of each twenty-f0ur hours in sleep. The
other eighteen hours they would spend on the
| track. They would thus be In a better cOndi-
! ton. They could ride faster while they were
or the track. and there would be more sprint
| ing Thus the race would be improved from
| spectacular point OF view. and the men would
not suffer from lack Of sleep or course. this
is merely talk yet. but something of that sort
will probably be done"
1t was regarded as noteworthy that Miller.
| who rode second to Schinneer in the Chicago
| six-day race, should win the New-York race.
leaving Skinner in third place. Hale. last
| years winner said that he might go home on
| Wednesdays steamer. or he might remain In
this country to enter the six-days race 10 be-
held I'm st. Louis next month.
| Jimmy" Michael and Edouard Taylore. Of
! France. will meet in paced race at Madison
| Square Garden New Years night. The dis
| lance has not been decided, but IT VIII proba-
lily be twenty or twenty-five miles The size
| of the purse has not been definitely agreed
| upon yet, and there will also be side bets.
| Taylore's hackers say they willing to put
| up good money their man, and IT Is un-
| likely that Michael's friends have lost their
confidence in him. They have every reason for
| preserving it.
Other indoor races contemplated in the near
future are between Michael and Eddie" Bald
for one mile. the 10 he run in three heats.
| Michael is also expected to be matched against
A. A. Chase, the English middle distance rider.
