Bryan told her lawyer she had learned that “if her husband had one lady love, he had forty along Broad- | way,” and she was prepared to name them, but was told that one instance of his fondness for entertaining “a Broad- way nymph" would be sufficient.

Try as they might however, none of the teams succeeded in getting within striking distance of gaining a lap over the other conteat- ants. One after another the sprinters tried to open the space between them and the bunch, but the gap Invariably closed up tight. All hands would then settle back for a jor, but It would net be long before another spurt would bring down howls of joy from the gal- leries. Despite thelr efforts the riders stayed about four miles behind the records es- tablished last year, for it will be re- membered that there was a lot of hot sprinting the first day of the 1910 race and the handicap of to-day’s delay over punctuhes was too much to be Over- come quickly. Galvin and_ Wiley and Ryand and Cavanagh, wno lost one lap apiece this morning held up their end better this afternoon and didn't get lost again. ‘This {s the latter team's first elx-day experience, All the teams are reported to be in good physical condition. ‘After dropping more than four miles behind the record at the tenti hour the six-day riders ‘blew themselves to @ sensational sprint just before noon to- day. Just before this there was @ ocl- llsion between Willie Lorenz, the sensa- tional German sprinter, and Johnnie Bedell, and several of the men were hurled off the saucer, wrecking their wheels, Leon Georget and Jackie larke started the trouble. Georget was mmediately relieved by Brocco and & ninute later @ general alarm was sent to training quarters for relief. Some of the teams sv shed two or thre? times, The riders cove ed more than four miles and when the dust settled it was found that Wil and Galvin and Ryan and Cavanagh had been ‘once. ‘appre punctures than ever before marked the opening day of the six-day race to-day and caused such a general kick among the riders that the man- agement finally slowed up the grind to locate the trouble, This was quickly found at the Fourth avenue turn of the track. Floyd MacMarland, representing the riders and by whom a complaint of the conditions of the track was made. found a ten-penny nail protruding more than an inch out of the boards. This nail removed, there was no more trou- ble at this point, but the punctures caused the riders to drop far behind the record. At noon but one world's mark had been bettered. This was the distance covered at the end of the sixth ho oods Sarsaparilla y Stokes emissaries and not turned to the Dtstriet them was one which referred to @ ‘‘con- signmen’ of forty Chicago widot just prosescutor led the witness very down to the actual shooting.

The riders | apparently thought that two heart-breaking spurts ao early in the long grind “ought to hold” the crowd for a spell. The puncture trouble that held the riders behind the records dur- ing the morning after they had new six-hour mark seemed to have been overcome this afternoon, but the riders still remained two or three miles below records, Although there was little going on on the track to create excitement early thia afternoon the big crowd of regulars en- Joyed itself hugely by keeping up a run- ning fire of comment on various toptos.
