Up to II o'clock this morning
O'Leary was still twenty miles
ahead of Campana in the six days
walk at Gilmore's Garden. At that
time the former had made l5O
miles and the latter $50. O'Leary
maintains his quick, rolling gait,
which he has kept up from the hrst'
while his opponentappears tired out,
although he struggles manfully
around the track. The opinion
is universal among sporting men
that the man to beat O'Leary has
yet to be discovered.
