champion Splinter for 1905. lvcr Lawson
finished second. half u length behind Kramer.
and his score in the seasons table IS now 81
points. Kramer rode splendid race. and the
crowd warmed up surprisingly cheering him
for nearly five minutes after his victory.
Lawson's loss of the race was sore dis-
appointment to him. which was not lcssened
much because II broken saddle contributed
somewhat to his defeat. The nose or ms
saddle became loose when he was within ufty
yards Of the finishing line and engaged III
a desperate struggle with Kramer for the
lead. One interesting feature Of the contest
was the fact that Kramer won both his semi
final heat and the race in 20 As seconds, While
Lawson e time in his semi-fnal was o-tifths
of a second faster.
In justice to the champion it must be said
that he rode wonderfully well in the deciding
heat. Lawson had the great advantage. on
the Garden track, of the pole at the start and
thereby obtained the lead at the beginning OF
the race. Kramer won'his race altogether in
the concluding lap OF the struggle. which was
