II Was a Procession After the
Third Mile.
RIG CROWD AT THE SAUCER
rhree Of the Motors Refused to work
aud King Had No Chance-fes-
terday's BalI Game

The afty-mlle race last night was
PROCESSION and Charley Turyille
scooped the big end OF the purse win
case. John Lawson, the Terrible
swedeu came In for second and Billy
King. winner of the twenty-four hour
race, brought up the rear.
After taking every precaution pos
sible TO insure a good race, to haye the
motors In first class condition and pro-
vide for two extra machines in the
event OF anything going wrong, some
thing did go decidedly wrong and the
race was not satisfactory In the least.
II was neither the fault OF the man
agement or the riders, for they did all
in their power to make the contest a
success In every sense Of the word.
All the machines were In good work
ing order until last evening and then
three Of them went on a strike. John
Lawsons PAGER was utterly useless,
Kings Jumped, wobbled and stopped
and started again like a fractious coun-
try horse on is first visit to the city.
When a substitute motor was brought
out Il was found 10 be out Of order
but got to running after II had been
worked on for two or three hours.
John Lawson secured one or Tur-
yiles machines and the race started
out fairly well. Julius and Benedict
elem Turvllle paced Charles Turyllle,
Chapman and Gussie Lawson paced
the "turribe," and King was paced by
his brother Iii and W. h. samueson.
Lawson took the lead and hung onto
II for three miles making the first In
1.4S. But Turyille and King lost pace
in attempting to steal and rode a lap
or so unpaeed,
In the fourth mile Turville jumped
10 the front and from that time on had
the race bound and gagged. on the
seventh mile he secured lap over
King with Lawson right behind him.
King made a number OF beautiful
spurts and indeed there are many who
believe he would have won the race
had his motor been equal to Turvilles,
Sometimes the Internal machine would
tun smoothly but at critical times
failed him
Turville took another lap In the
eighth mile and the men remained in
the same positions until the fourteenth
mile when Kings motor refused abb
solutely to work,
Vaughan and May then tried to pace
him on another motor and before they
induced the thing to go, King was iive
laps In the rear.
Turvile gained lap over Lawson on
the thirty.seventh mile,
There was considerable excitement
during the forty-tfth mile. Turyilie
was one mile ahead OF King when he
received a puncture and King began
TO make up for lost time. He reduced
Turyilles lead to five laps when the
latter secured new wheel and took
the lead again.
Turyille beat Lawson by one lap and
two or three yards and King by five
laps and seventy Yards
Eddie Smith won the final OF the one
mile handicap amateur with Angel
second, Hopper third and Hermans
fourth. Hume Kicked" at the de-
cision Of the judges In giving Hermans
fouth place, but II did not change The
Jesuit in the least
