The race was said yesterday by all the
veteran riders to have been the hardest
one held for many years. From the start
different contestants sprinted almost con-
tinually. and spills were frequent. Seven
of the teams were forced out OF the con-
test by Thursday either from exhaustion
or from injuries received in riding. The
terrible jumping pace continued through
out the week.
Twenty American and twelve foreign
riders began the struggle. There were
nine Of the former and seven Of the latter
left at the end.
Until Friday night they were behind the
mark made last year, but by 10 O'Clock
that evening they had passed It, and at
the finish they were twenty miles ana
three laps ahead of it.
The Rutt-StoI and MoranFogler teams
singled each other out at the start as
their most formidable opponents and they
day they took the lead. having Tapped all
the others. and thereafter they were never
headed. They were generally considerd
the fastest in this race. but many are of
the opinion that Hardy Downing and
Matt Downey would have kept up to them
with an even break. The showing Of
Frank Calvin and George Wiley. the far
mer and messenger boy combination. was
remarkable. and they became popular for
their gameness.
Riders Crown Rutt King.
Rutt is conceded to be the greatest Of
all six-day riders. Those who have fol-
lowed the sport since 1t was inaugurated
declare his equal never existed. He
seemed strong enough to ride a week
longer and all the time he had in reserve
| that sprint which made him the MASTER
Of every other rider in the race.
Praise was showered on him from all
sides. but perhaps the greatest was that
from Hardy Downing, who said after re.

defeat. He was confident before the
