late In the afternoon, however, and
started on another long grind. Pierce,
who was the leader Tuesday, also took a
good rest, but it cost him the lead and
he will have a hard time making it up.

the bunch up to a late hour last night,
smashing record after record as he passed

Notes Of the Meet.

Harry Elkes' two mile paced exhibition
ride, in which he broke the worlds in
door record was the prettiest paced ex-
hibition yet seen on the track. He was
carried the distance by two tandems, and
the fact that one of the pick-ups was poor
lends added interest to the time, which
would doubtless have been about three
seconds faster had the exchange been
quickly made.
Edwin E. Stoddard, the famous timer,
and one-time holder of the coast ten-mile
road record, arrived from the south yes
terday morning and assumed his official
position in the evening
Jimmy MichaeFs mile exhibition ride,
paced by Fournier, was the slowest he
has yet done here, the time being 2:OS.
This is attributed to the fact that he had
to ride wide all the time, thus covering
somewhat more than the actual mile, as
the track is eight laps to the mile, meas
ured on the inside
rode mile exhibition in 1:57. and the
champion Splinter, Eddie Bald, rode
half mile in IS seconds.
During the afternoon the trainer of
alongside of his man as he passed and
yelled: Good boy, Teddy; keep 1t up;
you're doing fine. [ think Gimm is get
ting cerebro-spinal meningitis" The next
time Teddy came around he yelled back:
Get me some, too.
To-day's programme of short events Is
as tOllOWS. DIT Z:zU, unlimited
pursuit race between Frank Waller and
John Chapman; exhibitions by Michael,
Bald, Fournfer and Elkes. Evening, at
9 o'clock, tandem pursuit race between
Waller and Stevens, Eaton and Goodman,
Chapman and Lawson, Turville brothers,
Gibson and LeonaTt, besides the usual
exhibitions.
Frank Waller has recovered the use of
his eyesight, which he lost entirely after
riding twenty hours in the SfX-day race,
and will ride against Chapman this after
noon
The betting on the six day last night
was as follows: Gimm and Miller. 6 to 3;
Frederick, Barnaby and Pierce, to 1;
Nawn, 10; Hale, 10; AlbertS, 30; Lawson
and julius, 200 to 1; Ashinger, 200; Pix
ngton, 100. This shows that the odds have
heightened on all except Gimm, who was
3 to /. If he continues in the lead another
day his odds will shorten even more.
Pop Elkes, father of Harry Fixes,
the American wonder at middle distance
racing, and also his manager, is a true
sport. Speaking of his boy last night, he
said: 81 want the people here to see
Harry in race instead of exhibitions,
and am willing TO make almost any rea-
sonable match, providing 1t is at our dis
tance-from twenty to thirty-three miles
paced by as many machines as we like.
He will take on four of the California
boys, say Downing, Cotter, Mcfarland
and any other, they to relay each other
as they please, Harry to ride the entire
distance; or he will take on any one of
them and give him handicap of a quar-
ter OF a mile in every ten"
The management Is anxious TO make the
match; so if the local men are willing it
will probably come Off
