BY HAWTHORNE.

lOnal 10 happen IN the slN-day race AZ
Madison Square Garden last night, but
he crowd waited in vain from s o'clock
until after IL. with nothing to throw
he populsce into paroxysms of excite
ment during that time except intermit-
tent spirits for prizes.
The eleven teams in tie for the
cad were constantly on the alert
against attempts at lap stealing, and
every effort to cinch the race in this
manner was fruitless.
Norman Anderson, the Dane, who
fingers half a dozen laps in the rear,
made a goodly collection of $40 bills
during the cash-giving, taking four or
ive of these impromptu brushes. Wal
;hour, who has had more than his
,hare Of hard falls during the week,
received an ovation every time he came
IN the track, and che Dixie Flyer"
proved by his ability to hold to the
wiftest pace set that he is still to be
eckoned with.
The men kept well ahead of the
lay, in spite of the fact that the pace
slackened perceptibly for several hours.
The principal desire of the riders
seems to be to maintain their strength
'or the crucial test tonight, when the
eading teams an hour before the finish,
1t 10 o'clock. will engage in the Berlin"
inish. This constitutes series of
ifteen-lap sprints, conducted on point
basis, with so many to first, second,
bird, etc.
This was first tried at the Garden
asst year, and provided a continuous
,eries of thrills all through the last
hour.
This innocent looking paragraph is
chock full of gloom fer several hun
red six-day fans who contemplate re-
naming in the Garden until the finish
Of the big race. And here's the reason:
Last night il was decided to administer
ne first cleanup Of the week at
o'clock this morning, and George II.
Young, IN charge OF the police arrange
ments, with forty plainclothes men,
viii do the job efficiently, sending
every mothers son out to meet the
air" at that hour.
One of the sprints Of the earl even
ing Yesterday caused buzz of excite
ment and resulted in Lawrence ana
Magin coming dangerously near tapping
he field. On'y the presence OF an egg
on the track at the right moment pre-
ented the pair from accomplishing the
feat.
Lawrence began the dash at 7:45
o'clock and rushed away TO half-lap
lead Magin came out and took up the
work for four laps. Lawrence then came
out again and gained a bit more. II
looked as good as a lap for the team,
BUT then appeared Egg-Oscar by name
and tore around the oval at break
neck speed and nipped Lawrence after
q half-mile chase.
The hours from early morn until
evening were replete with sensations
and drastic changes among the lead
ers.
Following a Furnishing sprint az CIV
o'clock in the morning, during when
Young Eaton and Madden regained the
lap they had lost on Thursday night,
Zoe Fogler, one of the veterans in six
day grinds, announced his retirement
from the race. "If they want 10 kill
themselves. well, let them were his
parting words.
Carman, his partner, implored and
insisted that Joe continue, but the
after was obdurate, and when the time
limit expired, a. 1910 o'clock, the
tcam was officially declared out OF the
race.
Csrman, one Of the strongest riders
IN the race, was greatly disappointed.
II don't see why Fogler doesn't keep
on" he said, "he's been eating well all
the time and seems strong" While he
would not say anything stronger, Car
man indicated he believed Fogler could
have continued had he wished.
Two hours before this Anderson and
Sullivan lost two more laps during a
sprint led by Grassy" Ryan, and
Spears, Linart and Drobach fell, but
we're not hurt. At 1910 q. m. Madden
and Walthour fell heavily on the
Fourth Avenue turn. Madden jumped
up, but Walthour lay prone and had to
be assisted to his cot, bleeding from
severe gashes on both legs.
Bobby. who many believed would not
Try 20 continue, came back at 900
o'clock. heavily swathed in bandages
end remained on the track for three
hours, although riding with visible
effort.
In regaining their lost lap Eaton and
Madden did d clever bit Of riding,
catching the field of guard. Eaton
started. jumping ahead by fifty yards
and increasing the distance 70 half a
ZAP before the others awoke TO their
task.
Madden made a beautiful pickup,
aud after half mile sprinting duel
caught the pack. placing the team on
even terms once more.
This made eleven teams tied for the
lead and one, Sullivan and Anderson,
tx laps behind.
There are liable 20 be more startling
changes before tonight, some of those
who have heretofore appeared strong
howing signs Of weakness. Mcnamara,
Who has been leader in the prize
printing, looked very bad yesterday
ffternoOn He is said 20 be suffering
from stomach trouble.
In one Of the greatest sprinting cH-
Libitions seen at the Garden IN several
ytars, Just after midnight yesterday
morning, Walthour prevented Ryan
end Thomas from gaining lap. and
then kept or until three-quarters Of
q lap ahead OF the pack. Moran re-
iieved him and caught the tail end Of
The field. but a moment before this
CORY fell with crash on the Fourth
Avenue turn, and the officia. bell
ended the sprint, depriying the yeter-
ms Of the lap.
Sullivan and Anderson we're officially
declared out Of the race shortly before
! o'clock this morning.
