THIRD RACE SECOND HEAT.
Entries: Damon, scratch; Henry

Giles was not long in the race. Damon
and Brede kept close to one another,
but at the finish Damon proved the
best man.
Time: 5:5S 3-5; Brede, second.
THIRD RACE-FINAL HEAT.
Entries: Lyle, scratch; Damon,
scratch: Brede, 80 yards; Giles, 100
yards. 1t was nip and tuck between
Lyle and Giles, and although the
judges called it dead heat, the men
in the press boxes, whose eyes were
right on the tape and not the riders,
declare that Lyle was first in by half
the diameter of the front wheel. Lyle
made no outcry at the decision, and
was willing to race again, as decreed
by the judges. However, his friends
were of the opinion that the matter
Of sentiment should not have entered
into the decision of the judges.
DEAD HEAT DECIDED.
Giles and Lyle took their places ON
the scratch, the former waving all
handicap. 1t was first Lyle and then
Giles ahead, each keeping very close
to the other, and watching for move.
At the end of the fourth lap one of
the judges jingled the bell, thus giving
only one more lap to be gone over.
This disconnected the riders bit, as
did Willie Motifs voice when he shout
ed through the megaphone: Zone lap
more" as the riders were coming on
the home stretch Giles got in first
and was awarded the race, the judges
declaring that, when the bell was
sounded only one more lap could be
run The riders could not distinguish
whether the voice through the mega
phone was one of the judges rescind-
ing what the bell was meantsto con-
vey or not AS it stands, the race is
unsatisfactory and should be run over
again, with six and not five laps.
FOURTH RACE.
There seemed to be hoodoo on the
tandem race. Twos starts were made,
and both times the chain of Murray
and Porter's machine broke. Paris
and Giles were the other two men,
and the race was for gold and silver
medals, the former valued at 800 and
the latter at So A tandem was loaned
Murray and Porter and the race pro-
ceeded. Paris and Giles took the
lead and held it until the last turn of
the third lap, when Murray and Por
ter simply ran away from the other
combination.
Time: 2:32 is.

"TRILBY" AGAIN.

"Trilby" Fowler delighted the audi

seemed to be a part of himself, and
the way in which it answered to his
clever manipulations caused wonder
on all sides.

Next and lastly came "Trilby' Fowl

and at the finish Giles was in the lead
and won five-sixths of the race. In
the interest of clean sports, and as the
error Of the judges was manifest this
event should be considered mo race"
and ridden over. When the dead heat
was being considered, Referee Towse
went into the judges box and tried to
convince the men that they were mis-
taken. but he was ruled out 1t is Ger
tain that Arthur Giles does not want
the glory due a victor if he does not
win il: in the opinion Of the men at
the tape and in the grand stand near
the finish, he did not win the race.
IN THE AFTERNOON.
Before the beginning of the races
Willie Mott took the megaphone and
announced that "Trilby" Fowler would
not race in any of the events. People
were naturally disappointed at this, as
.'Trilby" is known TO possess a great
deal of speed.
Mott used the megaphone for the first
time in public, and his attempt was
not a bowling success.
