1t was a gloomy crowd OF athletes that
assembled in the corridors of the Hotel
B%artholdi. New York, yesterday after their
six-day whirl around the bicycle track at
Madison Square Garden, for the fatal ae-
cident to Urban Macdonald had a very de-
pressing effect on those who had competed
with him. The little New York rider met
his fatal injuries in the race on Friday, the
thirteenth of the month. when he crashed
through a rail. fracturing his skull. While
the excitement at the Garden was at its
height Saturday night, just before the final
mile, in which Walter Rutt, of Germany,
beat out Joe Fogler, of Brooklyn, for first
money. the news was received of Mac
Donald's death in the New York Hos
against a six-day race and the sorrow was
increased when it was learned that the
deceased rider was survived by a young
widow and baby daughter.
liver Lawson, who was MacDonald's part
ner in the race, was deeply affected. 1T
makes me shudder to think of it" said the
Salt Lake City cyclist. Il can scarcely
realize that little Mac one OF the pluck
lest boys who ever mounted a wheel, Is
dead Hardy Downing, another Compel
itor, declared, 'MacDonald's death is a
lesson for me. I have made up my mind |
will never ride in another six-day race"
Nearly all of the riders attended a meet
ing at the hotel in the evening and formed
an association for the Macdonald monu-
ment fund. Subscriptions amounting TO
SIT were raised. II is hoped by the riders
that more than $1,000 will be collected.
What money is left over will be put in
trust for MacDona1d's daughter.
The following We're elected officers of the
fund: r. L. Kelsey, chairman of the board
of control of the National Cycle Associa-
ton, president: II. A.. Gleisman, president
of the Tiger Wheelmen. of which Mac
Donald was a member, secretary and
treasurer: Crank l.. Valiant, room 92s,
Tribune building New York. The follow
ing were elected members of the commit
tee; Frank l.. Kramer, Howard e. Reyn-
Odds. Victor Breyer, liver Lawson, Norman
C. Hopper, p. f. Logan and Walter A.
Bardgett.
A large majority Of the riders will at
tend the funeral service of the rider,
which will be held at 81 East 1881 street,
New York, tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock.
Riders Lock vigorous.
There was little to show from a close
observation of the riders yesterday that
they had been through the long siege of
the week. Most Of them were up before
noon, and outside OF a somewhat drawn ex-
preston around the mouth and dark
patches under the eyes, they looked able
TO continue for another week. The effect
of the Intermittent snatches of sleep they
had during the week will not permit the
riders TO sleep soundly for a very long
stretch of time, but in a couple of days
they will all be living under normal
conditions again.
Rutt and Stol. the winners, were up and
around the hotel all afternoon and looked
sturdy enough to start right on another
grind. This team. in fact, showed less
sign of the strain than any, Of the Other
contestants. Both of them went to bed
about 9:90 last night to make up for their
losses of the week. just before tho final
