 MATCH -1T CcLISEUM.
naces Close mad Exciting Novice Race Furnished Fine Sport-HartfOrd and Newark Lads Stars of iho Nleet-Acci- dent in Motor Tandem Race.

tions both sporting and otherwise, held in and near the city are taken into con- sideration, the attendance at the colise- uni bicycle races last night was sur prising. Almost 1S00 lovers of clean sport turned out and they were well satisfied with the programme. Fast and pretty riding, unmarred by but one spill and few accidents, resulting in but slight damage, tells the story of the meeting. Even the novice race was an exciting one, evoking plenty of interest because of the average ability of the contestants, all of whom are local aspir- ants for cycle honors. The public was given sample of the manner in which E. M. Sperry, the new manager of the track, proposes to conduct the enter prise, and from announcements made in reference to future attractions indi- cations predict some great racing be- fore the season closes. As was the case last night, nothing will be left undone to make the races pleasing to the crowds.
 Sherman Williams, who qualified by squeezing into third place in the fastest heat sprung a surprise by beating Mi nor by inches at the tape in the final of the novice in good time.
 Frank Caldwell of Hartford and Jim my Hunter of Newark, the stars of the evening, made all the running in the heats of the half-mile open. A battle royal was the final, when Caldwell jumped by Szparadowslzi and Hunter and led them home by few feet.
 Hunter retaliated in the handicap, which was a race from start to finish. Caldwell from the post of honor caught his Jersey rival at the start ard hung to his rear wheel. At the bell the mighty Hartford midget unwound promising burst of speed, but Hunter was good for more and held Caldwell off by half yard at the finish.
 An unfortunate accident spoiled the fastest event of the meet-the three mile motor tandem race. Harry Smith and T. E. Goode of Baltimore, compet- ing against Roodman and De Roster of Fall River, got their machine under way at record time and after going the first mile in 1:39 and the second in 1.36 1-5 had the hard luck to have their chainbreak on the turnout Of the homestretch on the next lap, their rl- vals romping home in 1:50.
 Behind the winning tandem team Saxon D. Williams, the Buffalo profes- sional rode an exhibition mile in i:47 4-5
 Owing to the breaking of a chain on one of the motors there was wait be- fore the event of the evening-the f1f- teen-nlile motor-paced race-was start ed. The crowd waited patiently while the damage was being repaired, and they were well repaid. No race ever seen in this city was more exciting than the match between Hunter and Caldwell The contestants, hugging to their motors with flying start got away together and reeled off the first mile in 2:O3 Hunter forged ahead of the Hartford scorcher and was the lead- CT during the opening four miles. On the third lap of the fifth Cadwell's team pulled him up and he was first across. From then to the tenth 1t was a see-saw race, each leading alternate ly. Just after both riders had crossed the line in the eleventh mile chain snapped on CadwelTs pace-making out fit. Pluckily, however, the riders plug ged on Smith heroically pedalling to assume the lead. Hunter was not to be denied, however, and won by five yards in 23:05 2-5 With his victory Hunter rounded out remarkable day Of cy- cling, as in the afternoon he won a flf- teen-1nile paced match at Hartford. Fifty miles of riding in one day, and winning at that, is an enviabe record.
