CHESS AND WHIST NOTES The six-day eight-hour cycle race at Convention Hall ended Saturday night un- der the most favorable auspices. There was @ large gathering of people present, fully 3,000, who filled all of the seats and throng- ed the ice, crowding the skating surface s0 that the skaters were unable to get much enjoyment out of their sport. It was much warmer in the hall than ever before, ard this fact was demonstrated by the condi* tion of the ice. In spite of the working of the pumps forcing ammonia to’ freeze the surface, the ice actually melted, leaving small pools of water. This is the first time in the history of the ice palace that this has occurred. To a certain extent the people were dis- appointed in the finish. It was expected that there would be a continual sprint all during the evening to secure a position, but this did not materialize. The men were too tired, and their riding Saturday was the worst of any day during the Icrg ride. They could have made much better time had occasion demanded it, but each rider expected the other to make the first sprint, and all were hushanding their strength. The sprinting Saturday evening was not up to the order of the sprinting of previous evenings. Maddox was not particularly anxious to make up his two laps. This was shown by his riding durirg the day. Mishaps. There were a number of events out of the ordinary Saturday. For the first time during the race Charles Ashinger was off his wheel, it being through no fault cf his own. Three riders endeavored to.make a sprint simultaneously, and the man in front threw the second man, who happened to be little Hunter. Ashinger was the third man, and he went down with Hunter. With- out loss of time he remounted his machine, but he lost a lap by the op2zntion, while Hunter lost three to the main bunch, and two to Lawson, who waited for him. The handle bars of the plucky Englishman came loose, and he was forced to change his wheel, this taking up valuable time, though it was rapidly jone. The act of the Swede in waiting for his nearest rival was greeted with applause, and more firm- ly established him as a favorite in the eycs of all present. Poor Fritz Forster met with a mishap that fortunately did not result sertously, but which injured the rider more than it appeared. He was on the se2onj turn, en- deavoring to pass the bunch. who had sprinted, and he ran over the track, strik- ing the rope railing which »21 been placet there. With presence of mial he seized the rope, but the force of the collision made him turn a complete somersault, while his wheel slid down the steep !mctine to the base of the track. The rider was dazed for a moment, staggered a littl2, and then slid down the embankment and remounted his wheel, just as the bunch made their first lap on him. Had he gone over the track he would have fallen about ten feet, headfore- most, on top of a pijg of oli lumber, with more serious results. He continued to :ide, and finished out the eveaing, U.ough much of his spirit was sone, he cmpiainiag of a pain in his back. Had Forster been !n his usual condition it is safe io sav that he would have carried the bunch around the track the whole of the evening at n gocd speed, indulging in seme of bis spurts, which had the effect many times during the race of making all of the riders hump live- ly to catch him. Flower Flowers were plentiful, and the popular- ity of the Swede was attested by the fact that he received more than the others. On three different occasions he was pre- sented with large bunches, being the first rider of the lot to be thus recognized. Lit- tle Hunter was also remembered, and re- ceived a beautiful floral tribute. None of the other riders were forgotten, and in turn they received bunches of flowers dur- ing the night. There was some applause when Forster received his gift, but the spirits of the always jovial German were dampened by his accident, and he could not respond by one of his pretty sprints. The greatest surprise of the evening was when Charles Ashinger, who was pacing the bunch, made a spurt and got about a quarter of a lap ahead. He kept on, hop- ing to get a lap, but he was not successful, the other riders catching up to him after hard pedaling. The only other sprint was made by Maddox, just before the close of the race, and after the first gun had been fired, which goes off ten minutes before the close. He gained half a lap, and managed to hold it, though the rapid pace was tell- ing on him, and he was in that position when the last gun was fired, marking the close of the race. Courtesy. Another graceful act of the Swede during the ride was the holding back of the whole bunch when little Hunter changed his wheel the second tfme after his fall. Here- tofore the other riders have gained one and two laps on changing a wheel, but the Swede was in front, and he held all of the riders back until Hunter caught up. He and Hunter were tied for fourth place, though, had he wanted, the Swede could have held that position safely by taking advantage of the Englishman's mishap. The tie was not decided until the finish, when the Swede sprinted and came in by a lead of ten feet, giving him the place. When the list of names was read out in the order of the finish the only name cheered was that of the Swede. ‘The exhibition distances were excellent, the riding of Eddie Bald and Tom Linton being of record-breaking order. Bald rode a quarter, unpaced, flying start, in 28 2-5, breaking the old indoor quarter-mile record of 29 1-5. Tom Linton went against his mile, unpaced, record, of 2:22, and suc: ceeded in covering the distance in 2:11. Fred Schade went against the District quarter-mile record of 34 seconds, and, ac- cording to the time given, lopped ‘off a sec- ond and several fifths. Teddy Hale gave his regular exhibition mile, but his time was not of fast order. The Score. The score at the close Saturday njght was as follows: Total Corrected revised score. ame. 6thday. score.

NEWBURGH, N."'¥., January 4—Daniel Flanagan, who was knocked senseless in a prize fighting contest with Wm. Catskill, near Low Point, Saturday night, lies in a critical condition at Low Point. Flanagan and Catskill both live at Fishkill. They fought nine rounds for a prize of $40, and in the final round Catskill delivered his knock-out blow. Catskill, who 1s a colored youth, has dis- appeared. Flanagan is eighteen years old. There had been bad blood between the lads for some time past, snd the fight of Saturday night was regarded by both as a means of settling their differences. They fought with vim for nine rounds, when a terrific blow from the colored boy knocked Flanagan senseless. Those at. the ringside did what they could to bring him back to consciousness, but did not send for a doctor until several hours had elapsed. Then Cat- skill, the seconds, referee and others who fad ‘aided in bringing off the fight left for places of concealment. Thus far there have been no arrests. The fight was one of the most savage that has been seen in this part of the state. WILL GO TO HENLEY. The Champion Winnipeg Four to Row for the Stewards’ Cup. The champion four of Canada and the United States will row in the Henley re- gatta in Bngland next summer. The Win- nipeg Boat Club four are making arrange- ments to compete for the Stewards’ chal- lenge cup, the symbol of the fastest ama- teur four in the ‘world. The champion Argonauts of Toronto rowed at Henley in 1895 and created a most favorable impres- sion, but did not win thé cup. They rowed what seemed to many was a draw heat, but did not get the decision. The Win- uipegs will sail from New York about March 1. They will take no chances of not being acclimated, but will be in Eng- land at least three months before the race, Syoldine the mistake made by Cornell in 805.

Mr. Dunham won his adjourned game from Tucker, and is consequently tied with Hanta for fourth place. The finish promises to be exciting.
