Both men had trained faithfully for the race and had large number of friends on hand to encour- age them to victory. ,Hoyt took the lead at the start and held it for two miles, but poor work on the part of his pacemakers caused him to fall behind and McDufie held the lead from them on. McDuffie rode fine race and after the three mile mark had been passed was never in danger of losing. Hoyt frequently outstripped his pacemakers, but could not overtake the fleet McDuf- fife, who rode with great confidence from start to finish and finally won by over lap. McDufffe's time for the ten miles was IS minutes 4SA seconds.
 The one mile tandem handicap, pro- fessional, was won by Fred P. Kent of Rowley, Mass, and c. s. Henshaw of Cambridgeport, Mass; time, 2:02 15. w. P. Neville and M. Apgar of Newark were second and W. B. Tenzer of Buff faio and Fred H. Allen of Springfield were third.

 GARDINER WINS THE NATIONAL
 CHAMPIONSHIP
 Providence, May 30-Arthur Gardiner won the national championship to-day by a fast drive late in the race, just cutting out Freeman at the tape. Tom Butler won the mile open professional, and the two mile handicap was a gift of Handicapper Aldrich to Becker, who had 140 yards and good men to help him, with no men on intermediate marks.
 There was a big attendance. Sun shine and a light wind. Really the event of the day was the disqualified tion of Freeman by Referee James Smith. Aker pulled him up in the mile open and then proceeded to drop back on the field and block them. The team work was evident and Freeman was disqualified, Aker also being barred from further racing. Freeman rode bad in the handicap, refusing to do any pac- ing. Summary:

BALD DEFEATS COOPER.

Waltham, Mass, May 30.-The bicycle races at the Velodrome this afternoon brought together 5000 people, who saw some very good sport. The chief event was the international match, one mile race, between Cooper, Bald and Jaap Eden. The latter failed to show up on account of poor condition. This left the two old rivals to fight it out, and Bald won after three extremely excit- ing heats, all being practically settled at the tape.
 Tn the ten mile pursuit race between Kaser and Bourotte the latter caught the former at four and three-auarter miles in spite of the fact that Bourotte was slow in getting away, giving Ka- ser chance to gain fifty yards. Bour- otte's excellent riding is shown from the fact that his time was ahead of previous records in pursuit races for the same distance.

L1NTON'S WONDERFUL WORK.
 Boston, May 30.-Tom Linton, the Englishman, was the star rider of the annual race meeting of the Massachu- setts division, l.. A. w., on Charles River park this afternoon and he is credited with having added to his &C., complishments nine worlds records In his thirty mile paced race with Harry Bikes of Glenns Falls, N. Y. He found Bikes a tough customer to beat and a closer finish or different ending might have happened had Bikes been furnish ed faster pacemakers. Linton rode su- perbly for his first appearance of the season and, although his picking up Of teams lacked perfection it was better than his opponents, from the fact that he lost no speed in the jump-over. The winning margin for Linton of @ little less than half a mile hardly shows how close the race was for over twenty miles. Linton finished fresh in 56:50 1-5, or one minute and forty seconds under the record for the distance. Elkes' time was S7.A.
