JUDD FIzzLEs OUT-MULLEN ENTERS THE
RAcE-wEsToN FLOODING ALONG.
Yesterday there was o large increase in the At
tendance OF spectators at the Hippodrome, to
witness the Misconduct walking match. As be.
tween these two pedestrians however, the con.
test had tually ceased on Wednesday, as stated
IN yesterdays HERALD, for when Judd left the
track at the end OF his 2O0th mile 1t apparent
to all that he was completely broken down. 1t
was, however, thought that by allowing him o
long sleep, he might possibly be able stlll to make
q respectable showing. When Judd appeared on
the track yesterday morning there was no mis-.
taking the sigus which showed that he could At
the most only crawl around the course. He man.
aged TO get around his track i've times, when
he rested 7n. 4os. Alter this he crept
round rather than walked until about
the middle OF the 2OSts mile which was not
reached until eh. I'm. 27s., or ~ hours from the
starting time He then rested eieven minutes
aad managed aIer his TO keep going until ne
reached the END OF the 216h mile at "a. 29m. 22s.
He then took another rest OF thirty.lve minutes.
lie made another mile In son. 26s. and rested
and retired to his tent until Oh. SIM. when, IL
order 10 get his money unucr his contract which
requires h,m TO walk the SIX days out. he came OUT
on tie track aud walked four miles more, at inter.
walls, taxing a long rest between each. AS on the
previous occasion, when be broke down at the
Rink, Judd attributes his failure to The want OF
care on tie part OF his attendants. These people,
however, did all they could Tor him The FAULT lies
rather IN the Professor himself
When Judd retired at the end OF the 2l7th mile
Mullen, the champion ten mile walker, with
the consent OF Weston started in TO walk
out the race, Weston agreeing to let him
take Judd's record OF 2l7 miles and IN addition the
tnlrty-1ve miles ne agreed 10 allow Judd at start
Ing. on these terms Mullen commenced his work,
and started Of at last gait, making the drst
few niles at the rate oil H. II, H. and minutes
and lew odd seconds each. he then dropped
into steady pace OF about five miles an hour.

ass, without rest, and still kept on walking
until b. eleven O'Clock he had scored tnlrty.scven
miles. HIS intention then was TO make seventy
hve miles before going TO bed. Mullen's stvle or
walking was greatly applauded ana shows won
uerluily well, IN the race OF the TACT that ne has
had no training
Weston reured 10 his room yesterday morning
for s,eep at IN. lon. 35s., and reappeared on the
track again at On. lin. DDS. He started OF on his
days work rather stlfly, but as time wore on he
improved somewhat, although throughout the day
until alter the gas lighted he walked as
though slightly sim and sore. He completed his
265tn mile at l0h 26m. 37s., when he stopped for
mile was recorded at Al. SIN. 22s., and stop made
ior dinner OF I'm. SIS. He then went to his work
again with rene wed yIgor, aud walked steadily
along at g0od pace throughout the evening, until
by eleven O'Clock he mad scored 3i0 miles, sixty
miles Tor the day His intention at this time was
to walk on until three O'Clock this morning.
Weston Is undoubtedly doing WE'LL but that he Will
fall short OF completing his full task by Saturday
night Is now beyond question. From now how.
ever until Then, Re race between MIN and Mullen
Will be quite Interesting.
