/ Goullet and Rutt was not his. best by
| any means, but his exhibition in his
heat of the pursuit was about the
limit 1t looked as If Clark's ride in
the pursuit was to be an alibi for his
failure in the match race, in that he
showed evidence of lack of form. TO
me it looked like a clear case of the
'sulks.
General mcfarland has worked
out a scheme in the Criterion Stakes
| that is sure to furnish some great
racing. There will be practically
three finals. In a method of elimina-
ton, three men will go to the post in
| the first final of the thousand dollar
race and the winner will receive the
big end of the purse. Then, for the
"peevos" who failed to get in on the
big prize money, and who qualified
for the semi-finals. mean old Mac
Farland has arranged another race
This he calls the Omnium, or consila
| ton, and three of the stars will also
have it out in this final. Then, to cap
the climax, and to show that he isn't
playing any favorites, the General has
arranged to have the winner of the
Criterion and the winner of the
Omnium meet in a grand final, with
500 to the victor.

Wednesday night at Brighton Beach
The coming amateur champion dashed
for Brighton when the races were
called off at the Velodrome on &C
count of rain and reached the track
just as the first heat of the amateur
open was called. He grabbed a heavy
road wheel that was standing in the
training quarters. borrowed a racing
tights from George Wiley, and with
high tan shoes went out and made
a post entry for the races. Kaiser
caused quite laugh when he ap-
peared on the track in his odd make
up and a wheel that appeared impos-
sible He finished third in his heat
and qualified for the final. AS a rule
the amateurs look for Kaiser's rear
wheel in a race, but they did not give
him a chance this time A half a lap
! from the finish Kaiser jumped, and
after coming from eleventh position
won the race by over forty yards.
Kaiser could have won his heat, but
he stalled in order to fool the riders
in the final.
