The state board of health recon-
mends the quarantine of all cases Tor

ter the termination of the disease.
It is q well established fact that

THE SCORE At THE END OF THE
TWENTY-THIRD ROUND,

New York, Dec. "a trio of mishaps
coming so quickly upon one another
had the spectators keyed up to the
highest pitch last night at the six-day
bicycle race. Bobby Walthour was the
first victim. In a wild sprint led by
Eddie Root, Walthour made a daring
effort to steal the pace. but his wheel
slipped the embankment and he
came down with a crash. cutting both
legs badly. AS soon his partner,
Lawson. relieved him, Rutt started an
other sprint and in quick succession the
tires on Pouchois and Anderson's
wheels were punctured and the race
was called for a few minutes, though
the riders kept circling the track. 1t
was a lucky accident for Pouchois as
he would have undoubtedly lost lap.
German and Verlinden were ordered
out of. the race early in the day after
they had been hopelessly distanced. The
fourteen remaining teams showed abso-
lutely no respect for the worlds rec
ords during the first twenty-four hours.
