left. far behind. For 11 time yesterday
the riders were many miles behind the
mark set by Miller and Waller lathe
famous race of 1899 but this loss was
gradually cut. down, and during the.
night new records Were established
hour after hour. and at 8 o'clock this
morning the three leading teams were
more than ten miles ahead of the
mark established nine years ago.
Between 10 and it o'clock the lead-
ers covered iii miles and 9 laps, and
increased their lead over the. old rcc-
ord more than two miles. At. 11 0‘-
clock they had covered 2.528 miles 8
laps against 2,512 miles 2 laps made
by Miller and Walter In 1899.
