New York Cycle Races.

NEW YORK, Dec. s.-The leaders In the six day
bicycle race at Madison Square garden tonight are
nearly 200 miles ahead of the record made when in
diyidua and almost continuous riding were
the rule. The fairest comparison which would be
made between the old style riding individuals
and the style OF two riders alternating is that
of the Mller-Waler combination results obtained by
week contrasted with the results obtained by
Miller year The Miler-Waller combination
was us miles ahead of the record at II o'clock to-
night. McEachern has developed a severe attack OF
tonsilitis and his physicians watching him care
fully Aside from this he is riding strong. and
his team is regarded dangerous one to the
leaders.
Miller said tonight that the present would
be his last. He says he has had enough whether
.'od style OF new style" He said the same thing
last year. At 10 o'clock tonight the Miller Waller
the good. having scored S24 miles and nine laps
against the Mays-McEachern combination Of
1.s24 miles and eight laps. Another victory II OBJ
taned this year. will perhaps help to induce him to
change his mind for another year.
Waller took optimistic view OF the new
method of riding. MILLER will like the style
better before he gets through with the race" he
said. II like this method. I've been riding
for fifteen years now, and l go fifteen more at
this game"
Owen s. Kimble. of Kentucky. and s. Tomasseli.
the European champion rode mile in
three heats. Tomasseli two heats In slow time.
Walthour's wife arrived at the garden tonight from
her home In Atlanta. Ca From a box she urged her
husband on to renewed efforts. and he rode better
than ever after her arrival The general impression
is that there is little doubt of his maintenance of
his lead for the first individual money.
Ray Duer. of Buffalo. holder of the amateur hour
record, won the unlimited pursuit from George

laps.
The spectators considerably confused during
the evening on account OF the conflicting statements
by the Official announcer At o'clock he said the

At IL o'clock he corrected this to read IT'S miles.

IisteninG TO the Prencher.

"If it be difficult for some people to lis
ten, it is ten times harder for other peopls
to follow, for II Is evident person may
listen and not follow" writes Ian Mac
laren of 1.-The Art of Listening to Ser
mon In The Ladies' Home Journal
Very few ara accustomed to think about
the same thing or indeed to think about
anything for 30 minutes. After a brief
space their interest flags, and they fall be-
hind. They have long ago lost the thread
of the preachers argument and have al
most forgotten his subject. The sermon
which suits such dcsultorv mind is one
of 90 paragraphs, each paragraph an aneC-
dote or an illustration or u startling idea,
so that wherever the nearer joins in he can
be instantly at home.
Sensible people ought, however to re-
member that q series Of amusing lantern
slides and q work of severe art are not the
same, and if any one is to eXpound the
gospel of Christ worthily he must reason
as he goes and ask his hearers to think
The chain may be of gold, but there ought
to be links securely fastened together, and
a nearer should try them as they pass
through his hands. II one does not brace
himself for the effort OF hearing sermon,
he will almost certainly finish up by com
planning either that the preacher was dull
or that the discourse was disconnected.
No sermon is worth hearing into which
the preacher has not put his whole
strength and no sermon can be heard
Alright unless the nearer gives his whole
strength also"
