laps further back plodded along Gimm and Pierce,
leading Fischer and Chevallier by only one lap.
The result Is likely TO be in doubt up to some time
this afternoon, when the riders with the most speed
and strength ought to draw out and capture the
purses offered by the management.
Walthour, the Southern rider. had done the best
individual work to date, and he was In good
condition last night, he was confident that he
would capture the $500 offered for the best indi-
vidual work during the week. Had Eaton held
his end up a Wathour has done the chances are
that that team would have captured the bulk OF
the prizes. Schineer and Forster bring up the tail
end OF the weary plodders. The men have mad
several disagreements, and the only thing that
keeps them the track Is the fact that they can
not lose seventh prize. Babcock has done better
work than was expected. McEachrens friends be-
lieve that II he is on even terms with the leaders
