represented on the track at midnight to-
night, or the beginning OF the fourth day

able to keep up the hurricane pace jumped
into at the outset, but they have strus-
sIed to do as much their strained and
tired bodies would allow them.
For the first two days they kept ahead
OF the record. but now they are far be-
hind, the 1.4G4 miles and / lap reeled OF
by the leaders being II miles and laps
behind the record for 1889.

RIDERS IN SNTASH-UP.
Turville and Aaronson have not been
able to go back on the track since they
were carried out of a serious tumble the
riders Were mixed up in Tonight The
former, the doctor said may be able to
resume his trick after little rest. but it
is doubtful. Should this occur. it will re-
move two dangerous teams, who are now
only three laps behind the leaders-Elkes
and Mcfarland and Pierce and McEach-
ern Elkes and Mcfarland. and Pierce
and NcEa chern are now in the lead. each

and Babcock and Aaronson. Six laps from
Jichar a NJ E'rh1arjcl, a nd
Kaser and Ryser.
During the last two hours there were
fruitles,s efforts made by the rear men
TO gain lap on their opponents. To pre-
vent the loss of Il lap Fisher performed
perhaps the hardest task of the race OF
the afternoon. He got a puncture just
rs the either riders we're preparing for a
sIsurt The otter men noticed Fishers
misfortune and tried to take advantage
OF it. Fisher peGalled along with the
bunch, however, in spite of the softeninS
tire and kept up the pumping on the
crippled machine for a full mile. at the
end of which time Frederick relieved him.
When Fisher dismounted his tire was
perfectly fiat.
The accident which may put TurvflIe
and AaronSon out Of the race, occurred
shortly after . O'Clock. Kaser and Ryster
were relieving one another during a try
to gain a lap, going a tremendous pace.
GOugaltZ and Sa-rar We're almost behind
them with Waller on the side, the French
men who were alternating, came together
with 4 crash and went on ohe track
Waller hit their wheels and crashed into
the fallen FrencETmen. Touryilie plunged
into a mix-up and was thrown into Il
f,ox among a. crcrxG OF SPECTATORS. Fisher
