New York Dec l5-After a night of
some of the fastest sprinJing ever seen
in a six-day race, dawn broke today with
eight teams tied for the lead and two q
lap behind. The riders settled down to
q pIOddlng gait at o clock and, except
for a group of women who came to the
garden and gave American flags to each
rider that passed, nothing but treadmill
monOtOny prevailed for an hour.
At : o'clock detectives and squad of
patrolmen from the West Thirtieth street
station cleared the building of everybody
but the riders and employees.
Many of the regulars resOrted to
every conceivable trick to stay and see
the finish tonight. They hid i'm the boxes
under the arena seats and climbed from
one place to another that had already
been cleared. 1t took more than an hour
70 round them all up.
Clean Sweep Changes Appearance.
A clean sweep followed and the big
smphitheatre changed in appearance as
if by magic; the litter of papers and re-
fuse was carted away and finally the
lofty skyliShts We're opened to allow the
clouds of smoke and foul air to escape.
8 a. m was 2.0Si miles laps. WalthOur
and Bedell and Breton and Samuelson
were one lap behind the leaders.

were attempted, but they did not last
long and We're without results. The
sixth and last day of the bicycle races

change in position, ami the spiritless

to indicate that precedent would be fol-
lowed in this race
Down to Slow Pace.
The men were averaging about fifteen
miles an hour early today. and ali seemed

Of maintained speed in the race and the
unusual delays that have occurred are
indicated by the fact that the riders
We're nearly 40 miles behind the record
early today. Ten teams remain in the
race and will probably finish. Wander

Only two countries of anv prominence
in the rowing world are affected by the

Fletcher gave notice of this motion June

many oarsmcn did not believe that all the
Americans should suffer for the sins of

Spectators Were Sore.
The wind-up furnished sport that under
ordinary circumstances would have
brought the crowd that packed Madison
Square Garden to suffoeation to its feet
in a wild demonstration. The retirement
Of Walthour and Bedell and the fact that
they were not allowed several laps which
the spectators believed should have been
given them, resulted in such a diSsatisfac-
ton that the least enthusiasm of the week
was manifested at she conclusion of the
contest. When the retiring teams were
ordered from the track there were shouts
OF unfair rulings. Excitement was in
tense when the final squirt began, but the
cheers with which the start was attended
grew fainter as the men rode on until the
victory of Root and FOgler was received
with comparative GOODNESS. Fogier during
tie week had been mixed up in several
spills that prevented laps being made. The
prizes viii be awarded Monday.

Reports which for some time have

ton Captain John Seymour the
probable successor of Dfnan- The
friends of Seymour have been urging
his appointment, and IL is asserted that
they have encountered two pairs of
willing ears on the Police Commission.
When the third pair of ears gives a
favorable hearing to the plea all will
have been accomplished w H. Leahy
and William Hagerty are still regarded
as friendly TO Dinan.
The feeling is general that Seymour
would make an efficient chief. AS cap
tain of the detective force, he estab-
Iished n record that gained him recog-
milton throughout the United States.
He Is familiar with every detail of pO-
lice work In San Francisco. Although
at the present time he enjoys a high
post chief of the detective force of
the WelIs-FarEO Company, he would
not refuse TO act as head of the de-
partment were the place offered TO him.
When rumor first stated that Dinan
was TO be removed. it was said that
either Captain Duke or AN outsider"
would be named. It has become known
that the outsider" referred to is Cap

The dissatisfaction with Dinan is
general in the board, but up TO the
present time strong outside influences
have prevented his removal 1t is
stated that the removal of Dinan may
be hastened by the graft investigation.
The manner in which the chief turned
the force Of the city into a private
bodyguard for Ruef, and in fact used
every power vested in his office in be-
half Of the boss, has made Dinan de-
cidedly unpopular in the eyes of the
