WELSH WONDER WINS
MICHAEL DEFEATS TAYLEuRE BY
THIRTEEN LAPS.
MADISON-SQUARE GARDEN THRONGED.
Many Thousands of People See the
Bicycle Races Held Under the Au-
tiOn-French Champion OutcInssed.

| NEW YORK, January 1.-Men, women
boys, and girls thronged every available
inch OF Madison Square Garden tonight
for the regular indoor bicycle races which
were held under the auspices OF the
American Cycle Racing Association. The
board track was arranged so that the
riders had to cover ten laps to complete
a mile BY . o'clock 1t was estimated
that 10000 people were in the big building.
and then there were fully half as many
more clamoring for admission at the en-
frances.
The trial heats in the preliminaries be-
gan at o'clock, and the finishes in every
instance were very close
The big event Of the evening was the
Michael-Tayleure race. Tayleure won the
pole on the toss and also won the selec-
ton Of the place in which his pace
makers should start. He chose the north
eastern end Of the track. The French
mans gear was 9s. and Michaers 1oi.
Tayleure was royalty received when he
put in an appearance on the track, but
the cheering was vociferous when the.
little Weshman mounted his wheel. The
riders got on the scratch line at 1920
O'Clock. Tayleure rushed off, and caught
the pacemakers on the first turn, with
Michael two lengths behind Michael
worked like the little demon that he is,
but Tayleure rode like a whirlwind and
at the end Of the first mile led Michael
by a length.
In the first lap Of the second mile
Michael forged ahead, on the fifteenth
Zap he gained half lap on his adver-
sary, and at the end of the third mile
Michael was one lap TO the good. In the
fourth mile Michael gained another lap,
and IL the fifth he had the same dis
lance to his credit.
Tayleure was outclassed in the eighth
mile, and Michael passed him for the
third time. The pace that the Welsh lad
was going was a terrible one. but Tay-
leure stuck to his work heroically, and
pumped away as earnestly as If he were
the leader Time at the end Of the eighth
mile for Michael, 1907.
Tayleure lost his pacemakers in the
tenth mile, and at the beginning Of the
eleventh Michael was close up to him
and passed him, then being four laps TO
the good.
The spectators were by this time work
ed up 10 the highest pitch Of excitement,
and Alichaels name was on everybodys

beaten at this juncture, but he stuck to
his work very doggedly, and was SEEM
ingly not dsheartened when Michael
passed him on the thirteenth mile for the
fifth time.
Tayleure's saddle broke I'm the twentieth
mile, and in exchanging wheels he lost
two laps. thus giving Michael clear
lead Of a mile. The wheel which was
substituted for Tayleure's damaged one
was geared TO 10i, but the French rider
was unable to cope with the superlative
efforts of the little wonder" and the
midget gained another lap at the close OF
the twenty-third mile.
From this TO the end OF the race Michael
went so swiftly that il took all the starch
out Of his rival, and Michael finally won
by thirteen laps. Time, 51:54 2-5.

sition of Magistrate.

chosen to be Mayor Of one of the largest
cities in the world. / congratulate You
and welcome you as Mayor Of Greater

BANFFY RECEIVES LIBERALS.
He Severely Condemns the Recent
Proceedings in Parliament.

BUDAPEST, January 1.-Baron Banffy,
the Hungarian Premier, received the
Liberals Of the Diet to-day, according
to custom. He said that thirty years
experience had taught Hungary that she
must not dissolve the present economic
alliance with Austria. though, OF course,
there might be bounds to Hungarys de-
sire for it's maintenance. The recent
events in the Diet. he claimed were en-
tirely unjustihed, shook parliamentarism
to its foundations, and violated its every
principle.
Continuing. the Premier remarked that
no words were strong enough In express
sion or sufficiently energetic to condemn
those proceedings, but he believed that
with the help Of the King the Liberal
party would be able to find way out or
