Twelve Teams Now in the Race and
 Record Not Beaten.

were then about 5000 persons present. During the afternoon there were few exciting sprints, but early in the even ing the crowd called for their favorites and many of the riders responded with a sprint Maya tried for a steal about 5 o'clock, but failed after a half-mile chase. Kaser took the crowd by storm a few minutes later by coming up from the rear with terrific burst of speed. He got good lead before the other riders woke up. Gougoltz jumped onto the track at this juncture and tried to maintain the advantage of his partner, Kaser, but soon was caught by George Leander, who made the pace for the rest of the riders.
 A few minutes before o'clock Nc Farland. while talking to a spectator, lost control of his machine on the stretch and ran into Floyd Krebs. Both men were thrown and, although some what shaken up, neither was injured. Krebs immediately remounted his wheel and was cheered by the crowd Mcfarland did not continue riding for some minutes. As it was an accident the men did not lose any distance When Mcfarland resumed Breton thought he was all out and sprinted to catch the lanky Californian mapping Mcfarland, however, gave chase and succeeded in tacking onto the French mans rear tire, amid tremendous ap- plause from the spectators.
 The furious pace of the riders is be- ginning to tell on them, as is shown by a little falling off in the score at the end of each hour. At o'clock the men were nearly ten miles behind the r00 1& <.1,- the part of the crowd served to induce them to go faster. The glassy stare which comes to the eyes after a long stretch of riding was very evident last night. The quick changes which were a feature of and enlivened the first nights racing practically have been stopped, and each man on the track seldom rides for less than four hours at a time
 Shortly after o'clock there was q spill which relieved the monotony for a time. John Bede1l of the Long Island team was seen to swerve and fall at the south side of the Garden. By quick maneuvering on the part of the other riders they managed to avoid a collis- ion Bedell got up and was relieved at once by his brother. It was learned that the chain of John BedelFs wheel had snapped and the lap lost by the team through the accident will not be counted against them.
 The riders passed the 400-mile mark little after o'clock, and they then were nine miles and two laps behind the record. Maya was leading at this point and the rest of the riders were punched.
 The freshest team in the race to all appearances is Mcfarland and Maya. They squirt whenever an opportunity presents itself; but the others hang on every time.
 The latter part of the evening was enlivened by exhibition racing. in which Jimmy Michael, Harry Bikes and Frank Kraemer took part. Krae- mer rode one mile unpaced His time was POP 2-5.
 Bikes, who has entirely recovered from his accident on Saturday night, rode one mile behind a single motor Time. 1:37 2-5. Michael's two-miIe ex. hibition behind motor pace was GOV. cred in 3:12 BIO.
 At 12:3O o'clock this morning Gou- goltz and Kaser announced their with drawal from the race This was on l the advice of the management's physi- clan, who said he thought 1t might be dangerous for Kaser, who was injured by bad fall on Sunday night, to con- tinue. GOugoltz said he was ready to go on in the race if he could secure a riding partner. Last year Gougoltz's 's riding partner, Simar, became i'll, and the team was forced to withdraw.
 kaser on Sunday night was thrown into one of the boxes on the Twenty sixth street side of the track. He struck against a post on his abdomen and three ugly flesh wounds resulted. After being patched up and having two hours rest Kaser pluckily started in to finish the race. Last night the wounds had become much swollen and irritated. The pairing of Keegan, who is a witty Irishman, with Peterson. the biz Swede. was fraught with humorous circumstances. The managers of the men had arranged the deal, and when Peterson appeared to relieve Keegan he flashed past him with rapidity. Pc terson's relief of the Irishman were all made in the same whirIwind fash ion, and along in the afternoon when they had been mates for eight or nine hours. Keegan returning to his dress. Ling room, said to his trainer: "Begor. ra, will ye tell that blame Swade to go a bit slow when he comes out next ST can get look at him. Sure, I'm rid. ing with a man the face of whom ] haven't had peek at yet He gets UT to me and goes past like the devils own. All I've seen of him is his back. Z
 Keegan has the important winning element of humor- and good nature il him and it was in pure fun that after taking a bowl of rice from his trainer for the third of fourth time during the day. he exclaimed:
 And yez must take me for a China man. Faith. it's rice, rice, rice. Arrah get me a steak now for the next time I'm off or I'll break the heads of all oi yez."
 The score at o'clock this mornins was as follows:
 M. I. Breton and Darragon ........ .533 . Mcfarland and Maya ........ .533 1 Stinson and Moran .-.........5 .533 . John Bedell and Menus Bedell .533 : Newkirk and Jacobson ....... 533
