Rest Finish of the Night.

The best finish of the night came In
the ninth when Piani and Egg went past
the judges abreast. Only those on d.
rect line with the tape could tell which
won. The Judges said Egg won by few
\ inches. II was the first time during the
night Egg outrode the Italian Splinter.
The Swiss came from behind in the
last lap and rid ng as he hasn't done
since last year got up in the last in
slant.
Leene made II four for the session
by taking the final. He had little trou-
BILE winning It. His opponents made no
attempt to catch him and he went over
the finish line an easy victor by two
lengths. Mcnamara was second and
Thomas third.
At the end of the official sprints
Brocco and Coburn were leading in the

without a rest Piani came back and
took the third. This time he had II
harder job. for Egg fought him all the
way and was at his side at the judges.

There was a larger crowd at the six
day bicycle race In Madison Square
Garden last night than there was the
previous night, but there wasn't nearly
so much excitement or one-quarter the
number of thrills The terrific sprints
Of the previous twenty-four hours had
rendered to sap the strength OF the rid
ers, and almost all of them were content
TO pedal around at steadier and slower
pace. There were a few wild uasnes
made in an effort to gain lap. but they
were short lived and did not create much
excitement The crowd, which filled
every nook and corner Of the huge am
phitheatre was estimated at $4,000.
In sprint that lasted seventeen min
utes shortly before midnight the Bel
gian team composed of Van Hevel and
Vandenburgh, gained a lap on the field.
For more than half an hour Vanden-
burgh made dozen attempts to steal
away. but each time their efforts were
feeble and they were quickly caught
After doing this at least dozen times
Vandenburgh finally went away and
quickly gained quarter of lap. This
time he didn't come back. Instead he
increased his speed until Van Heved re-
lieved him. Van Hevel made a desperate
spurt and gained another quarter lap.
Then he and Vandenburgh alternated
as the competitor and after desperate
chase finally gained the coveted ground.
In the jam Grimm and Van Divele were
Tapped twice.
The following teams were fined SIS
for poor pickups: Verri and Belloni,
Bedell and Thomas. Spears and Law
renee.
Brocco and Coburn lead by one lap,
with Debaets and Persyn and Van Hevel
and Vandenburgh tied for second place.
a lap ahead of the rest of the field.
All Of the heats were keenly contested
Oscar Egg, the veteran Swiss. who
seems to be improving every hour, dis
played great burst of speed in the mi
tial event and won It by three lengths
He came from behind two laps from
home and had little difficulty withstand
ing challenges from MIGUEL. Bedell and
Taylor. For his great squirt he received
third points. Piani the giant Italian
took the second. He showed some of the
speed with which he beat Frank Krame
on Saturday night and. after riding II
third position for three-quarters OF
mile, went to the front and won ratheI
easily. Byron was second and McNa
mara, third.
