] sTx-DAY RACE.
Away Behind the Record in New
 York

York
 As the midnight hour drew near and the expressions of agony were seen on the faces of the contestants in the six day grind, the dope" bottle was brought into play.
 The strain on the riders was too much for them to stand, and as con sequence the bottles that have played such an important part in past races were again in evidence. The result was that the men seemed to have new energy, and started to hit up the fast est pace of the last twenty-four hours.
 Goug6ltz started a record breaking sprint, and, riding steadily. passed Leander, who had first place, and then spurted for two laps at railro speed, Leander quickened his speef hoWev- CT and soon cut down the difference, Gougoltz then subsided and joined the bunch
 Tn the afternoon the men kept up the steady pace and did nothing sen sational. At 4:15 all. the riders left the track, and Miss Margaret Cast gave an exhibition of nlotor-paeed riding. Just before the riders retired they set two-nile sprint that tested the endurance of the leaders. As us ual, the cause of it was the Leander- Butler team Butler had just reliev. ed Leander. and keegan came in to give Moran rest Butler and kee- gan let drive with terrife speed, and the bunch trailed out in q line.
 Menus Bedell. who had two spli11t- CTS driven into his back last night found that neither splinter was large enough to cause him serious trouble or pain, and applications were placed on the wounds to keep them from fes- teFing. It was decided to make no ef fort to remove them at present
 Breton, the Frehchnlan, both of whose wrists were sprained in the first shours of the race. seemed 10 be suffering whenever he had to ride fast and threw the weight of his arms on the handlebaTs.
 George Leander, whether stimulated by wine given him by a portly stran- ger, or mostly from an outburst of animal spirits Kept calling to his trainers i1l words of sufficient humor to afford the galleries much amllge, nlent.
 This stranger seemed to be man of mystery He said he was Doctor H, and added that he had bet. $5,0O0 that Leander and Butler would win. He was continually bringing wine to the trackSide Quarters of his favorite team; some of which the men drank.
 When the few people fn the ring saw Leander sit down for g moment they all crowded to his corner, and one Individual proudly displayed a bottle of champagne and insisted on, the track racer taking q glass with him
 Leander's attendants grinned broad. ly at the thought of such thing, but Leapdef smiled an assent and the gal. leries leaned forward breathlessly at this spectacle, But Leander raised the wine 1t contained, then jumped onto his wheel and proceeded to tear things up,
 He relieved Butler, jumped into the pace. and was away three wheel lengths ahead of his nearest con1pet. itofs, But Hedspetb, becoming stren- uously minded at the same moment, darted down the incline and sprinted ahead until he was twenty-five yards in the lead He began pufing and straining over his pedals at this point, however and when Moran. seeing his partner, heegan, waiting to relieve him. forged ahead at a terrific pace. the colored rider was soon lapped again.
 This sprint of Morans was only one of series of pluckF attemnts made by him and his track mate, heegan, to re- gain the lap they lost on account of the reorganization of their team. Time and again the plucky pair drove ahead with wonderful exhibitions of speed and head work, and it is not to be supposed that in any of these attempts they did not give the field hard five minutes to catch them.
 This attempt which came about 1o o'clock, was i'll many ways the most spectacular they had yet made.
 At II :45 o'clock last night while a sprint was in progress. NJ, Bedell. Samson. Calvin and Barclay collided in the Fourth avenue turn and caused the most sensational spill of the race. Barclay flew through the air nearly twenty feet among the spectators ill one box and landed among those in an adjoining box.
 Samson pitched into another box, and Calvin and Bedell reeled to the foot of the track, The spectators in the boxes were shocked. some were shaken. and one woman tainted. Gal. yin was carried away unconscious. Barclay, Bedell and Samson went to their quarters apparently not much hurt. Rettich also fell, but picked himself ap quickly and went on.
 Some of those in the boxes were bruised by the wheels Of Barclay and Samson. which flew into the boxes
