OUT FOR NEW BrKE RECORD.
Foreign Riders to Attempt to Break
 That of Miller and Waller.

New York, Dec. 3.-If the six day bi- cycle record for teams of 2,7S3 miles and laps, hung up by Miller and Waller in 1899 ever is to be broken, It looks as If this years race, which starts one minute after 12 o'clock next Sunday night, will see the trick turned. A prize of 10000 francs has been offer- cred by cycle manufacturing concern in Europe, If any one of the foreign teams can win the race and hang up new mileage figure.
 IA committee representing the foreign riders waited upon the management yesterday and requested that there he no cessation in the race from the time of the start until the finish on the fol- lowing Saturday night. This condition existed when the Miller and Waller re- cord was made years ago, and the fact that the race has been stopped every afternoon and evening for short dis tance races and exhibitions has kept the mileage down.
 This request of the Europeans will be granted and the riders also will be in- StruCteO 10 keep on TdclHR III case or broken wheel, punctured tire or injury to one of the contestants. the dis mounted man or his teammate being given few minutes in which to join the field. By this means the scoring will not be interrupted.
 Work on the construction of tho track commenced yesterday morning, and it will be in readiness by tonight for practice. It has been made a bit longer than in past years and the stretches wider, SO as to avoid acci- dents.

N. Y. TO PARIS RAGE Big Auto Event Described by Lecturer With Pictures in
 Foy Auditorium.
THOMAS WINNER SHOWN
Machine That Won by 20 Days on xhibition--Covcrcd With Thou
 sands of Initials. ..

An interesting lecture was given in the Foy auditorium last night when Orrel A. Parker told of the New York to Paris automobile trip that was won by the American car, Thomas, with 2G days to spare. It was Illustrated hy over 300 views of the countries passed through and if ever q tale of mud and snow was unfoldcd 1t was that of their trip.
 The car met with general good for tune except that 1t lost probably 20 days in all through continued break ng of gear
 Of the general history of the race, of the continued triumph of the American car across this continent, of the trial in Alaska and the penall2a- ton of the German car with the thirty days which finally lost lt the race there was little to loo said as those facts were already well known 10 the public. So the main features of the race were merely outlined last night to form a background for the pictures after which the speaker took up little scenes and incidents of the race here and there and with very clear and very good views aided by informal vivid descriptions made the race seem q great deal more real than 1t ever had before to most of the hearers.
 After the lecture, the audience ad- iourned to the Bancroft Foote Boys club where the machine was on eXhi- hition It was covered all over its grey enamel with thousands of initials put there by men, women and children of three continents. The car itself looked to be in good shape and only showed a few scratches.
 It was hard to lool, upon that bis grey automobile. not so terribly bang ed up, not SO much moro travel stain cd than great many cars which have toured through New York and Massachusetts and realize that it had been banged across the American con tinent In the dead of winter, that it had slipped through the little villages and green hills of Japan in the height of a world watched contest. that it had pounded and grinded for cease less miles or kilometers across the

ties of the trans-slberian railroad in Manchurla and Mongolia, that 1t had sucked and heayed through tho boggy stoppes of Siberia and Russia and that it had finally spun down the good roads of Germany and Belgium to pasa into Paris in the midst of dense, cheering crowds, the winner of the greatest auto race on record.
 Yet, as one looked at the car and later at the pictures, as one saw the machine and the men in their typical American dress surrounded by queer groups of excited cowboys of Jap anese, of Mongolans, of Tartars and finally the people of northern Russia one began to realize what a car can do and what thls one had done.
 The same difficulty was felt when Schuster the man who drove the car for a large part of the Journey, came out and spoke. It was almost im- possible to realize that this short, rourd-faCcd American boy with the laugh in his voice was the one who had actually gone through the dan gers and heart-rendlng difficulties 10 which the audience had been listening all the evening, The dangers seemed real enough and the man seemed real enough but 1t was hard to connect the two
 Behind the car hung an American flag, It was clearly visible in nearly every picture and must hayo carried prestige with it in such q thrilling race as it waved along the countless miles of the race That flag probably cov- cred more miles of ground than any other American flag ever has,
 The pictures were colored to the 2rVr.r tlnts of the original objects and were all excellent photographs. The pictures showed queer little scenes all along the road from the start in New York to tho finish In Paris, and after Mir. Parkers lecture Schuster came out and gave a brief resume of the race in his own words, which were even more breezy and descriptive than those of the formal lecturer. Indeed one could not help thinking that 1t Is Mir. Schuster himself who ought to do the talking, For, after all, 1t was he who was there

TO PLAY CRESCENTS
Yale Soccer Team Is Hopeful Against Strong Opponents
 Here Tomorrow.
CLOSE RUB GIVEN BEFORE
Final Game of the Year at Yale Field Championship Expected In
 tho Spring.

One of the fastest soccer games seen here in sometime will be that Satur- day when the Yale eleven will play the team representing the Crescent Athletic club, The teams have met once be- fore this year and Yale scored goals against fer the Crescents, the largest number of points scored this year by any team. The Crescents are consid- ered the strongest amateur soccer team in tlns part of the country
 The Yale soccer team has been im- proving ever since its defeat at the hands of the Crescents and under tho careful coaching of James Birnbaum 1t has developed into very fast propo- sition. Last year 1t won the champions ship of the intercollegiate league though the league council decided that the championship rested between Yale and Hayerford whom Yale had defeat- ed. Haverford declined to play another game,
 Since the Yale team commenced to win last spring, after losing every game 1t had played since the sport, was in- troduced, interest commence to in- crease and when Captain Hack Moves of the basketball team wont out for the eleven, there was a large attend- ance at both the games and at prac- tlce. When Yale won the champion ship the attendance increased at the games to such an extent that the sport became almost sef-supporting and this year will nrobably be so The na- terial thls fall is much better than has ever gone out for the sport before and both Coach Birnhaum and Captain Mo- Nulty expect a winning team,
 The game against the Crescents Sat- urday will commence at D. m. and will be played on the gridiron at Yale field
