NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-Exhausted
by desperate efforts to hang up new
worlds record for the six-day bicycle
race, the riders In the gruelling con-
test were forced to the use of drugs
today to enable them TO continue the
grind until the final dash tonight
Strychnine. digitalis. champagne and
black coffee were freely administered.
The weary riders responded to the
stimulants like magic. Furious pedal.
Ing sent them around the saucer track
In mad dashes and clipped miles from
previous records.
So desperate was the sprinting that
when the teams had gained nine miles
on the record. practically every rider
IN the race. was on the verge OF col
lapse. Agony showed in their faces
Us they dashed wildly around the dizzy
course, Despite the weakened condi-
ton OF the riders, experts predict that
the finish tonight will see a new
worlds record.
\ Three teams, Rutt and Stol, Nc
Farland and Moran, and Hill and De-
mara are still tied for first and 1t
now seems probable that the race will
( be decided by one-mile sprint at
( 10 o'clock tonight At that time all
( but the leaders will be ordered from
the track. A pistol shot and the
F., most exciting moment of the long
grind will be at hand. Unless an UNI
expected change In the position of
the present leaders occurs between
now and then. Walter Rutt, the stur-
dy German. who was first across the
tape last year, Floyd Mcfarland, the
lanky rider from the coast and Wal
ter Demara, also from the coast, will
carry the hopes Of their teammates
10 victory. or defeat. Rutt Is still
the favorite. but Mcfarland has a
large following.
A sensational spill, from which Gal.
win was picked up unconscious, and
carried TO his quarters, resulted In no
broken bones.
Mrs Calvin was In a box az lns
time of the accident and she tainted,
but was quickly revived.

THE PALISADES.
Their Counterpart Cannot Be Found
In All the World.

In All the World.
The edge of the world, if such thing
may be, lies hardly a rife shot away
from one of the centers of the world
itSelf-the city of New York.
The Palisades, those mighty walls
wherein the annals of the centuries
are graved-what an edge of the world
their lip presents to him who comes,
perhaps at night, to their rough hewn
elevation! In no other place other than
this near proximity to man and one of
his greatest cities could a physical fea-
ture so profoundly vast and impressive
be SO hidden from the world. Their
counterpart cannot be found in all the
world, and yet the Palisades are almost
unexpected and unknown to the globe
circling, sight hunting public that year
~ traverses the continents or seas to
gaze at things less wonderful in some
distant field of natures marvellous
achievements, for little does any one
know of these titanic walls who has
merely seen them from the Hudson.
Were they somewhere off In a land
comparatively inaccessible, reached by
a transcOntinental thread of steel, the
guidebOokS would be rich in their pic
tured grandeur and man would rove
far to explore them.-Philip Verrill

was crushing away in hard, metallic

The Bum, perspiring and asleep in a
loppy mass on the end of a bench in
Paradise park, awoke with such a start
that several of the perpetual sons of
rest near by were visibly alarmed.
Some of them moved away hurriedly.
But the BUNS movement proved not
menacing. He merely shook himself,
listened a moment, glared at the hand
organ in no pleasant mood and shuff1ed
away in the direction of Chatham
square.
The hurdy gurdy, as if with MALI
cious intent, moved also and right at
his heels broke into something sturdy

straightened his big, gaunt self; he car
red his head high; he walked to the
door of the gin shop with a firm step,
passed out and down the street.
And new light shone pitifully from
his deeply sunken dark eyes.
On he went, travelling little more
than a mile-the mile that was destined
to prove the most momentous of his
life. He hesitated not until he caught
a glimpse through the canyon-like street
of his objective point Then he felt a
bit uncertain.
Scarcely knowing what he was doing

habit of leaning against things for sup

JOIN IN SUPPORTING
AN EXPERIMENT FARM

Fourteen prominent citizens of the
Park have joined in supporting an ex-
pertinent farm, says the Walden New
Era. They oranized the association
the John w. Riggen ranch, and mail
yesterday, securing tract of land in
ed an order for part of the supplies
and equipment.
The plan is to grow small patches
of various crops that might be handled
at a profit in the Park and learn GER
tainly what species of crops anil what
varieties of each can be made profit
able here.
With the specimens for exhibition
and the knowledge gained through the
experimental farm, these boosters in
tend to advertise the resources OF
North Park land. It's good business
