who started in the six-day race at twelve
minutes after midnight Saturday con-
tinued 10 travel all day yesterday and
nil last night, and by day and night
they were cheered and urged by thousands
OF enthusiasts from gallery and arena. Most
nj tho men remained riding as stated, but
the wecding-out process which began In the
first hour by the quitting OF Norcottc ana
Jones continued all night.
The Sensational feature In connection with
the reduction OF the competing list was the
dropping out OF three of the most popular
teams First Mcfarland and Freeman
stopped early in the morning. Next Kern
and D. Roeck gave up lust before noon ana
90 cap the climax Gougoltz and Simar ois-
continued in the early evening. The ois-
appearance from the race OF the french pair
Gougolt1 and Simar, was n cause Tor grlevous
disappointment TO the spectators and rooters
and especially to their trainers. Last year
this pair lost the race by a lap. although
Couqoltz finished strong and crossed the
tame ahead OF Mcfarland. who won the race
for himself and Fixes. 1t was Thought by
some that the lap lost by Gougoltz last winter
should have been allowed. as laps were al
lowed TO others. Had the allowance been
made the French pair probably would have
won. Because OF these conditions there mas
been a great amount Of right smart sympathy
for the two plucky Frenchmen. The CIR
cumstances Of their quitting were peculiar
and created considerable commotion.
In the afternoon Sim1r complained OF
not feeling strong and wanted to quit shortly
after ! O'Clock at night he insisted upon drop

him 70 go out on the track, Simar renamed

MANAGERS of the race. when he found them
he told n sad story about having had TO go
home 10 France last year and spend $500
for doctoring in order to be built up TO nor
NAL health. He protested that he did not
want TO do the same thing again this year.
He said that he was bound to quit. and
would be satisfied II he got only his passage
back to France. Meanwhile Gougoltz was
on the track riding. A few minutes ate
q o'clock Gougoltz slipped. fell and broke his
wheel. The rest OF the bunch immediately
started a sprint. Slmar could not be coaxed
n go on, although the team was then one
OF the Elk In the lead. Gougoltz lost several
Inns. but the referee decided TO allow them
n Simar would go on. Slmar could not be
persuaded, and at s:22 o'clock the u am was
out. That left twelve tea ms In
the race Of the sixteen that started,
The fall Of Gougoltz provoked the greatest
sprint that has yet been seen during the race
and the longest one ever seen In any six
dsy contest for the gaining OF a lap
AcEachern started IL with Butler and Mum
