The coored man Gray would haveduit
during the night had it not been for his
trainers. A feature of the race was when,
early this morning, Gray's trainers fol-
lowed their man around the track with a
stick urging him TO get a move on"
Gray plodded sullenly on.
At o'clock Jimmy Michael, the Welsh
wonder, made his appearance on the track
and the big crowd at once transferred its
attention to him. paced by tandems and
triplets, the middle distance champion

the distance in 1925.

Miller was 1879 miles ahead of the record

The man to be watched from now out is
Teddy" Hale, the champion. The foxy"
work limited at by his friends earlier in the
week is beginning to become apparent A
decided tail ender," he moved up within
the past twenty-four hours until at
o'clock tonight he had passed Pierce and
forged into eighth place, with 140 miles be-
tween him and the leader.
Sprnting remains the rule on the track
and the great audience that had gathered
by O'Clock were witnesses of a great
sprint, in which Julius the Hoboken lad
was well up in front. Rice pushed around
at an even pace, with a sponge cocktail
clenched between his teeth. Beacon was
between the spriuters.
Rivierre was riding alone. reeling off lap
after lap at steady telling pace in his
effort to recover the ground that he had
lost.
Miller dashed about with a huge bou-
Quet, the gift of admirers, fastened to the
handlebars of his machine.
Fixes left the track for about ten min
utes and came in for great sprint when
he returned.
Miller passed century ahead of
Schock's record during the sixty-ninth
hour. When the results of that hour was
announced the string began another squirt,
with Rice in the lead. Music still inspires
the men to those wonderful features which
nave made TINS match so sensational
Billy Young is a disguised man. Steph-
ane has disappointed him. lie was off the
track for two hours and a half He got
off at 1870 p. m. and kicked about his
saddle. Young repaired it. He went
about five laps and then the handle bars
displeased him. Gougel looked after them.
Then he started off again, but came back
with another wall about the saddle post.
Timber Jack fixed it..
Il want a shave" was his next demand.
Young was staggered.
You can ride just as well without it,"
Young replied
Il want a shave" was the sullen re-
Spouse.
barber was secured, and after Ste
phane had been attended to, the rider,
mounting his wheel, declared he would
continue wheeling until Saturday night.
Then Young grinned with delight.
Gray got back about O'Clock, and look
ed as fresh as daisy. lie rode in fairly
decent style
Miller's work Is marvellous. He goes
pumping in a peculiar manner that is as
effective as it is deceptive, and he man
ages to keep fifty miles between himself
and Rice, who is pushing hard to close
the gap.
Waller is making a mighty effort, but ii
seems a fruitiess one, to get back to the
front There is too much ground for him
to cover, and If he comes in one, two,
three he win be a wonder.
