The track on which the men are riding
is a great girdle OF yellow pine laid In an
oval i7e yards in circumference and 20

banking at the ends is not so high. how
ever, as it was last year. and the turns are
easier to make. In the straights the bank

the turns il Is IA feet higher This is two
degrees less banking at the ends than

formerly. This increase in the grade OF
the turn has the twofold effect OF carrying
more rapidly and imperceptibly, to them,
and Of throwing the IN in toward the pole as
they leave the turns. The black line of the
pole extends all about the track, lS inches
from where the inner edge rests upon the
marked off in plain figures every 10 yards
A notable fact in relation to the track this
year is that it is little too big. It is sup
posed to be Just ten laps to the mile, or 176
Yards, but when it was surveyed on Satur-
day it was found to be l7e yards inches
around on the pole. This makes it 40
inches large to the mile, and when the score
of the race is .5s4 miles, the men will have
ridden actually 1 .5s5 miles.
The riders in the race are provided for
about the same as ever so far as the rooms
used are concerned. but in some respects
there is more Difference to ocomfort and even
luxury than formerly. The idea of spartan
treatment for such events has been dis
