Jacobson Starts Lively Pace
and Gains a Lap.
MANY MILES BEHIND RECORD
Most Interesting Period Of Six-Day
Endurance Cycle Race This
Morning.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-THE tie I'm the
siV-day race has at last been broken.
Instead of six teams being tied for FIRST
position. two now lead In the race. They
ere Jacobson and Nevkirll. and Krebs
and Leander.
these teams gained their advantage
early this morning amid great excite
mert. The Jacobson-Newkirk team first
gained the lead OF a Ian. and for two
hours led the others a merry struggle
Then Krobs and Loandcr went out to get
them. and before 4-30 o'clock had sue
Cecdcd i'm doing so.
Continual speeding marked the race
This morning was by far the most in-
tcresting and exciting Of any period
since midnight Sunday.

A Lap Gained.

The sprint that gained q lead of a lap
tor Jacobson and Newkirb was sudden
and unexpected. Jacobson was fifty yards
I'm front almost before the other riders
were aware of it, He hit up an awful
clip. and increased the gap to half lap
before those following could get up the
necessary steam to hold the flying man
I'm front.
Keogan. of the team of KCegan and
Peterson was the first 20 get his legs
working He. too. opened up a gap while
chasing jacobson. and after covering a
mile finally caught his man. The two
vent cut and gained yard after yard on
their opponents until they finally caught
up with the rear division. and had gain
ed a lap.
Meanwhile the Garden was in an up
roar Eight thousand persons were
cheering and yelling encouragement with
all their lung power.
The racers then slowed down &c a
steady plug. II was in this interval that
Kcegan had che misfortune 10 lose two
laps by the failure OF his team mate to
properly relieve him.
The Washington times., 1902-12-11
Krebs-Leander Team Catches Up.

For two hours after that the all
night crowd had nothing 20 excite them
until Krebs. Leander's partner. jumped
the bunch. He was a half lap 20 the
good before the others were awakened
from their jogging.
Leander had meanwhile mounted his
wheel and started around the track
at lively pace In front of Krebs. When
Krebs caught him. Leauder let out a
hnk and went flying around the Garden
with the speed OF q locomotive. when
he had gone three laps ne had caught
Newkirk and the others. getting the
advantage which tied his team with

The sea<uu a Fish Pirate.

The growing sentiment for the pro-
lection of bird life, writes a CORE
spondent should not be endangered by
wrong direction. The appeal for the
sea gull, for instance, is one that must
ultimately fail for sound reasons.
Beautiful as he is, and attractive as
his evolutions are about the bridges,
he is a noted fish pirate, and when the
long delayed but inevitable legislation
comes for the scientific protection of
our coast fishing industry. the gull
will be marked as an enemy At e
certain stage of the life of the tuF-
bot, for instance, the baby fish floats
helplessly on the surface of the wa
ter, and a single gull is quite capable
of disposing of hundred turbot in a
day Even an alderman who could do
such a thing would be legislated out of
existence-much more a sea gull-and
the woman who wears an opera cloak
made of the pure slate and white wings
is helping to keep down the price OF
fish.
