FIFTH IS THE BANNER WARD

The registration books for the Demo- cratic municipal primary to be held on the 31st inst. closed last night and the result shows that about 4000 voters have qualified.
 During the entire day yesterday the reg istrars in most of the wards were kept busy, a number of citizens having put off registering until the last moment, and even after the books were closed num- Der of voters presented themselves at sev- eral places and were turned down. In the Fifth ward the rush was especially lively and during the latter part of the evening Registrar Jones registered more than one voter every minute. The registrar of the Sixth ward failed to bring his books to headquarters last night, but 1t is estimated that the registration in that ward Is about $50, making the total for the entire city something over the four thousand mark

 First ward, 457.
 Second ward, 532.
 Third ward, 372.

 Bicycle Race.

New York, December 2o.-Before a crowd of 5000 persons at Madison Square Garden tonight Frank L. Kramer of East Orange, N. J., formerly amateur champion of America, won the 25-mile professional race by wheels length from Bob Waltheus of Atlanta, who in turn finished wheels length in front of Tom Cooper.
 Most of the riders in the recent six-day race were contestants, but before the race had gone half the distance Kramer, Walt hour and Cooper by desperate riding Tapped the rest of the bunch. This caused the announcement that only those riders who were not Tapped should be allowed to fin- ish, the others retiring at the el.l of the twenty-fourth mile. In the latter bunch Arthur w. Ross won the fourth prize. The leader at the end of each five miles also received a prize, but with the exception of the twenty-fifth Walthour captured all of the extra prizes. The time was 1:01 :551-5.
 In mile exhibition behind motor-pace Harry Bikes of Glen Falls broke the worlds indoor record, covering the dis tance in 1:36:1-5.
