John staehle. Of Newark, Fred
Weber's partner, quit the race at 9:15
o'clock. after riding purely on his
nerve for the last twelve hours. Weber
il allowed four hours in which to ind a
new partner. This was the first break
in the field Of riders during the week.
A restless spirit hailing from the
Heights section of Brooklyn sought to
sse his conscience by offering prize
q 500 for the team winning the
greatest number of points in the ten
sprints. Thus Egg and Madden pocketed
the do-ray-mi.

these unfortunates were hustled out
Bodily by their trainers and placed on
their wheels. After five minutes of
sprlnting Egg, Madden. Speissers and
sFocco caught up with Goullet, and
peace reigned once more.
For several hours following this dis
pay CT frantic but futile speed the
men settled down 10 steady eighteen
nile an hour pace. Some of them were
showing signs Of wear. for Wednesday

the crowd that more attempts to gain
