 R. A. Walthour of Atlanta, Ga, prov ed himself the fastest man in the pro- fessional class at the races on the coli scum track last evening. Without much difficulty he captured the first prizes in both the professional events, passing such professionals as Fisher, Freeman, Newhouse, Downing and Collett. No very fast time was made, but this was due largely to the cold, which stiffened the riders up considera- bly,.
 The one-mile match race between Johnny Fisher of Chicago and George Collett of this city was the most inter esting event on the programme Col lett won in two straight heats, in both of which the riders were paced by J. P. Jacobson of this city.
 A well contested event in the amateur line was the one-mlle tandem handicap, which was won by Hunter and Hick- man, the former of Newark and the lat ter of this city. A team composed of R. D. Garfield and George Edwards of this city won second prize, while w. H. Minnie and T. J. Grady of Chicopee, Mass, won third place, Hunter and Hickman rode from scratch,
 The half-lnile handicap, amateur, was won by Ped Hickman, with R. l.. Wehrle of South Norwalk second. B. C. Thayer of New Britain finished third.
