THE SIX DAYS RACE.
Frank Waller Establishes New Worlds
Record for Continuous Riding.

Record for Continuous hiding.
New York, December 5.-Frank Wal
Ter, of Boston, has broken the only
record up to the present time in the
six day bicycle race at Madison Square
Garden. He now holds the world s
record for continuous riding. He left
his wheel at 4:10 o'clock this after
noon, having ridden 314 miles and s
laps in 16 hours and 10 minutes with
out dismounting, beating last year S
record of PIT miles made by Stephane.
Waller took a short rest, losing two
places in the contest, Pierce, followed
by Miller, passing him. At the end Of
the seventeenth hour Pierce was about
five miles behind Walters record of
iast year. The record made by hours
to-day fell short by three or four miles
Of those made last year. Falls are
more frequent this year than last.
Eight spills occurred to-day, but none
of the riders was seriously hurt. The
Garden was we'll filed with spectators
all day and until late hour tonight
One of the early surprises and q
great disappointment to his many adj
mirers was the retirement of Joe Rice,
of Wilkesbarre, Pa, who quit work
no state to continue the race.
Miller aroused the greatest enthusi-
asm this afternoon by setting Won
derful pace for many laps. Fredericks,
Nawn and Pierce were entirely out
classed for while, and only the vet
eran Waller was able to stick to the
champion and maintain his relative
position.
Again and again, amidst wild cries
of delight from thousands of threats,
Miller spurted and tried to shake the
tenacious Waller, but the big German
knew full well that with two miles to
the good, to keep up with Miller was
his end of the game, and he held
his own.
Many cheers greeted the reappear-
ance of the French champion this at
ternoon. He had been Off the track
about four hours and it was generally
believed that he had quit for good.
On his return however, he publicly
announced that he would not leave the
track again for 4S hours, and immedi-
ately began to make the hottest pace
Of the day. Miller, Waller, Pierce and
Nawn, however, refused to be shaken
and stuck close to his heels. About
The same time, Lawson. the Swede from
Minneapolis, took a short rest and af-
terward appeared with stomach rest,
The first that has been used in the pre-
sent race. Hale pays little or no at
tention to pacemakers, preferring to go
his own gait, which appears to suit the
requirements of Menachon, as the
stolid Frenchma-, keeps in the wake Of
Hale. For hours together this pair
pursue the even tenor of their way
Harry Elkes, the worlds hour cham
pioh, with a record of "a miles, 1920
yards, took a spin little after
o'clock this afternoon and put life into
the pack of racers. They tried to keep
up with him, but could not do So Their
speed was considerably increased for
half dozen laps, however.
Eddie McDuffee. of Boston. came
out on the track and made a dozen laps

to keep up with him and there was an

ING MATTERS

a more unpropitious day for races
snould hardly be conceived, but there
WAS nevertheless a fair attendance yes
ferday. The track had frozen, and was
cut IN by the runners, with the re-
suit that it was very heavy and the
time slow. Salt and sand will here
after be distributed on the course in
the mornings.
The racing was good. Favorites
were winners in all the races but the
last, in which the "bookles mace
skilling.. Young Critic was marked
up 3 to /, and backed down TO even
money. Monroe Doctrine also closed
1T even money, and both horses were
backed heavily. Jonah WHITE was
not played until the horses went 10
the post, and then for but small
amount. The betting was heavier
than on any event upon the afternoon
card.
After several false breaks, the flag
dropped, and Young Critic had very
decided advantage. Jonah Wn.te was
in third place, and Monroe Doctrihe
WAS fifth, about eight lengths pehlld
at the first turn. On the front
stretch Jonah crawlsd up into sec
.Cnd place, and was going fast. On the
back turn Jonah took several more
stitches in the gap separating him from
the leader, and on the last turn the
horses were almost neck eAd neck.
Madison, on Critic, was 1lrst TO apply
the whip, and his mount was beaten
horse. Manloye now urged Jonah, ana
he finished about half length ahead,
Monroe Doctrine by nice burst OF
speed coming under the wire tnird,
four lengths behind.
The first race was won hand1ly by
Fred Munich, the favorite. Great Bear
took the second, after a hard drive.

York there has been an even advance of
500, from $3.50 to $3.50
The higher freight rates, It Is feared
may cut down the demand for lumber
somewhat after the present fleet In port
and those bound for Savannah have taken
cargoes
The naval stores market has suffered
considerably from the advance in freights
and the indisposition of owners to charter
their vessels even at these higher rates.
To this to a considerable extent, is at
tributable the bad state of the rOsin mar
ket one of the largest buyers keeping out
Of the market for a long period owing
to inability to secure vessels. Prompt
vessels, that is those to arrive In June
July or August, are now quoted at 8
shillings for rosin, and As. Sd. for spirits
These rates are for larger vessels, those
of 900 tons or more. Small vessels are
quoted 3D. higher. For later loadlngs
September and October, the rates are 3
to 41ad. less. These quotations are all
dition ask for guarantee against ton
mage tax, the impression abraod being
that that will be one of the war revenue
measures of the government.
Cotton freight rates are now merely
nominal Rates advanced proportlonately
some time ago when grain freights
bounded up 30 per cent. owing to the great
demand for freight room caused by the
unexpected enormous movement Of grain
to Europe. This was merely a tempor-
airy squirt. At present there is naturally
little doing in cotton freights.

station with u Water Front.
Some idea as to the condition of the men
who compose the Second Georgia Regi-
ment U. S. ", can be gathered from a
letter written by one of the men in the
regiment TO Mr.. A. M. Bond, superintend-
ent of the Guards Club. A few extracts
may prove of interest to those who have
friends or relatives at Tampa.
1--WE are encamped at De Soto Park,
which see by the newspapers, is the most
picturesque spot in Florida. Picture to
yourself Sandhy Station with a water
front and you will have our picturesque
spot.
1--WE have two drills day from 5:25 to
6:15 in the morning, and in the afternoon
from $40 TO 600 o'clock 1t is quite warm
during the day, but pleasant enough en-
the shade, for a breeze is generally blow
ing.
Uniforms and a large amount of I'M
derwear, Shoes etc. arrived yesterday; but
l haven't heard when a distribution win
be made. We have had 50 far a plenty
to eat, well seasoned with dirt. Yester-
day We commenced getting fresh beef,
which, with hominy and biscuits and coffee
for breakfast, and beans and Irish pota-
toes for dinner. makes a pretty good meal.
We have two cooks, one a little Irishman
named Kavanaugh, who Is also waiter He
makes the biscuits, and when he takes
them Out of the oven, he turns them over
and over in his hands, patting and fond
ling them at the same time proclaiming
their merits. i wouldn't object to his
being so affectionate with them IL it were
not for the fact that have never seen
lbs hands when they would pass inspec-
ton. However, / am so hungry at meal
times that nothing affects my appetite"
The writer goes on to state that the
boxes which they understand are to be
sent them by the Guards lady friends are
being eagerly looked for. Already a large
amount of supplies have been sent TO in
dividual members of the Battalion,
but tomorrow there will be a number Of
boxes sent 10 Tampa. by express, for the
benefit of an the men who went from Sa-
