 Another crowd of 6,00O or 1000 per- sons went to Vailsburg yesterday to see the races, and again a great mob of them choked the infeld and fringed the track because of the inadequate stand accommodations. The fiYe-mile professional race was the most excit- ing of the. day. though all furnished good sport. There were twenty start CTS in it. In the last mile one of the leaders collided with an umpire and five fell, Kramer, Kimble, Hadield, Freeman and Babb. Mcfarland and Cooper made a beautiful struggle of it to the finish Mac led all the way up the stretch, with Cooper lapped on him. and in the last dozen yards Coo per stole ahead and won first place by about a foot.

 Boston, June 17y--BobDy ,Walthour won the twenty-five mile motor paced race Saturday night from Fred Hoyt in close finish. It was Hoyt's first appearance in a big three-cornered event and he had two such veterans as Walthour and Coleman for opponents. 1t was Walthour's race, however, from the start until the nineteenth mile, when his chain broke and he lost lap that he had gained and another in ad- dit1on. Coleman then led for five miles, although Hoyt pushed him hard up ana reduced the lead until he won. in the 1ast1 brash with Holt, c Cd1emanI having got a fall which pput him out Sito of thef running9 ss4V alth6uTes 8 time was 42:02 and Hoyt's 42:ISos Coleman did not finish.

 The formingsof com bination of cy-i cle tracks and paced riders, including tracks in New York, Boston, Provs-- dence, Philadelphia and Pittsburg and the services of a number of well known paced riders, has created a stir in cy- cle circles. The alleged combination was looked upon as protective propo- sition of J. c. Kennedy and F. T. Powers against the Manhattan Beach track, which ". A. Brady has secured control of.
 Brady has outlined an aggressive campaign at the Manhattan Beach track this summer, and, much in def- ance of the wishes of certain paced stars, has introduced paced races, open to all, in which there. are to be halt dozen competitors behind motor ma chimes. The cracks do not like the in- troduction of this new idea, which has proved popular in Paris. In this coun- try heretofore only two or three men have started in a race of this descrip- ton, and almost invariably the races have proved a disappointment to the public, because one of the men as- sumed a commanding lead early in the race, and after that the contest be- came one-Sided.
 Kennedy and Powers can only put two men on the Garden track, and are handicapped in competing with Man haitian Beach, for there it is possible to start dozen. The ocean track has a big natural advantage during the summer months, owing to its location and facilities. Manager Brady, when seen yesterday, said:
 There will be six prominent riders in the twenty-five mile paced race at the Beach on June p. I have received the entries of Jimmy Michael, Burns Pierce, Robert Walthour, Archie Nc Eachern, Nat Butler and Fred Hoyt Provisional entries have been made by Johnnie Nelson, the little Swede, Fern the amateur champion of 1900, Watson Coleman, Arthur Ross and others. So you see there is no lack of entries of the best kind.
 ''I have contracts with Harry Bikes and Jimmy Michael for their services
