Fenn met in special match race at Madison Square Garden last night and more than 5000 persons turned out but most of the men took off their coats and vests. There was not very much excitement over the match which Kramer won in straight heats, and to judge from their applause the two events most enjoyed by the crowd were not on the program. One of these was the inpromptu foot race in the novice affair and the other was the rendition of couple of ballads to band accompaniment by Johnnie Nestor. "the little lad with the big voice." Johnnie sang something about Keeping q Little Cozy Corner in Your Heart for Me-" and was pre- vailed upon to give an encore by the vocifer0us and long continued ap- plause, mostly from the balconies.
 The novice event had five starters, and lap and half from home all but two fell. Two of the fallen seized their damages wheels and started to run in. Emil Drcwitz of Williams tHhkt NHS tnt IdSlPE Hllu utIPuitu Henry Brandy of New York, receiving third prize for his trouble.
