four miles Wiley's tire punctured, and
on account of the great speed at which
he was going the tire was ripped off.
He slid along on his wheel almost fifty
feet, when he crashed to the bottom
entangled himself from the wreck and
mounted another wheel.
His arms were bruised and his
trunks were in shreds, but he gamely
rode on He lost three laps by the
accident. Duer continued along and
was three laps to the good. Carmen
at six miles was losing ground, when
Wiley started to unwind. He made up
two laps and might have been on ever
terms with Carmen had he not lost his
pace at the ninth mile.
ALI. Goullet at his favorite style of
pursuit riding had no difficulty in over
hauling a fast field hat were entered
in the final with him. Starting from
the 147-yard mark he made a quick get
away, and in three laps made a sub
stantial gain on Fogler, who was rid
ing fast and gaining rapidly on Kess-
Ter. Oscar Schwab, who was on the
22O-yard mark, was put out of the rum
ming on the second trip around. Mac
Farland, who was fortunate enough to
get into the final, thanks to a sleigh
ride on the wheel of Fogler, put up a
good brand of pursuit riding for sew
eral laps. but was ditched at mile
by DeMara. Just as Mac was being
passed in front of the judges stand his
tire exploded and he slid down the en-
bankment. After two miles the field
narrowed down to Hill, De Mara, Goul-
let and Fogler. Goullet started a sprint
and at one mile bagged De Mara. He
kept on going, and in another lap
tucked Hill away. Fogler, who seemed
tired, was an even half lap ahead. Both
plugged away, and in three laps Goul-
let had made up half the distance An
other long sprint several times around
the track and ''Alf the Plugger'' was
the winner.

lasted had not Root been put out of
the running by a puncture.
The third-mile amateur handicap was
a classy event. In this Leaf Cavanagh,
from scratch, negotiated the distance
in SO seconds. This is but one-fifth Of

New Haven several years ago Han
d~icapper Kelsey had the men placed at
such distances as to enable the back
markers to put up a pretty race, and he
was rewarded.
In the final C~avanagh made a grave
mistake, for he lost a golden oppor-
tunity to get into the hall Of fame. He
tackled onto the wheel of LOTUS, and
this was not among the winners.
The good time made in the race shows
that Cavanagh could have lowered the
had he gone out for himself.
Another race of this kind might be
productive of a new record holder.
Willie Fem seems to have a good first
on the invitation affairs. At
most of the boys that enter into
this board bill" affair are inclined so
to think. Riding a heady race he kept
In a good position throughout. and then
won in a blanket finish from Percy
who was pushing him hard.
Pedlar Palmer, coming like a steam en-
CINE, pushed in third.
Alvin Lotus won the two-mile open,
which was a gruelling affair. He seems
to be the class in any race in which
there is fast work, and at the finish
