Washington, July 24.-Major Taylor finished second to Kramer in his first race for the national championship at the circuit meet here last night, before 2,5O0 people. The final heat brought together Kramer, Taylor, Col1ett and Lawson, probably the four fastest sprinters in the country. Kramer and Lawson set the pace and Taylor was pocketed on the second turn from the stretch, but stole through on the turn into the stretch and beat Collett and Lawson out in the sprint, while he forced Kramer to the utmost to finish by barely foot. Tn the handicap Taylor rode himself out, setting pace to catch the limit men, and did not fin ish. Bald and Williams won the heats handily. The final almost resulted in dead beat between Williams and Schreiber. Summaries:
