CROWDS AT THE GARDEN GAMES
EX-GOVERNOR MORTON A VISITOR-A RE-
LAY RACE FROM PHILADELPHIA
PLANNED FOR TO-DAY.

Another large crowd was present al the military
athletic and bicycle tournament at Madison Square
Garden last night. There were few vacant seats
and the contests applauded with just as much
vigor has been the case earlier In the week. Ex-
Governor Morton and his family arrived at p. m.
and they were sauted with due pomp by the soldiers
on guard the entrance on their arrival. There
were several falls in the bicycle races. In the two
mile bicycle A. Garrigues. of the 22d Regiment
lost his bearings when making the turn at the
Fourth-avc end of the Garden. He and his wheel
went the embankment. AS usual, the combi
nation landed on policeman who was hurt more
than the rider. 1t is singular coincidence
that there Is nearly always policeman around
whenever rider takes a flying leap over the en-
bankment.
