N. to-day the score stood, O'Leary, 81
miles; Campana, 336 miles. 1t is quite
certain that neither will cover 400 miles.
| o'Leary and Campana brought to close
, tonight their six days walk in Gilmore't
Garden. Another great crowd was pres

} made 400 10 miles. Campana stopped at
/ l0:46, and covered 35Il miles. The form

: the latter was utterly used up. The gate

81, 500 Of which goes to Campana, and the
remainder, after expenses, to OLcary.
0'Leary, in conversation with report
or OF the Brooklyn Eagle, after regretting
his poor condition throughout the pl resent
match, said: ~ wish to issue this clial-
lenge-I offer 5000 against the same
amount that will make $40 miles in IA
hours in the city OF Now York in four
weeks from now, and besides this, am
willing to give half the profits, to be di.
vided equally among all charitable institu-
tions in both cities, they appointing a com.
mittee to represent them here in taking
and selling tickets. l think they can re.
alize 100000 on it.
O'Leary was off the track two days, three
hours, one minute and thirty-tive seconds
altogether. Campana, one day, twenty
three hours, thirty minutes and forty sec
onds. Campana, in IN address 10 the
crowd, charged the trainer he had in the
early part OF the week with paralyzing
him, and said II he had his present trainer
at the beginning he would have won by
Mt least fifty miles. He concluded by Of
fering TO run any man in England or
| America twelve days match ,for $4,000.
The great contest came TO close amid
the applause and roars Of ten thousand
people, and the most suffocating atmos-
phere ever breathed. The garden looked
more like a very full menagerie, and every
maj, present who could afford u cigar was
smoking one. The match was 4 fiZzle rs
far Us good distance was concerned for
O'Leary only covered 400 miles, while
"Sport' only made J7 miles AND two
laps.
THE widest enthusiasm prevailed
throughout the evening, and the walkers
were chcered beyond measure, although
they did nothing extraordinary. OLeary
appeared to be in good spirits, although 1t
was well known that he was suffering ter
ribly from blistcrs on his feet. At 1896 he
turned his 390th mile in twelve minutes
and forty.fvc seconds. Sport was mean
while walking, running and limping
around the track, and occasionally getting
into disputes with the audience. He was
out OF temper, and wanted to fight several
times, even though he could scarcely keep
his feet. O'Leary made his 304th mile iii
:45, the fastest for the day. He contin-
ued the same tremendous pace, passing
"Sport" every few minutes. The excite
ment was now intense, and when, at l0:43,
he finished his 4OOtl mile in 1905, the
spectators were fairly beside themselves
and acted like lot Of crazy men. o'Leary
ran the last lap Of his Tooth mile. and also
ran one lap over, after which he disappear
ed into his hut.
Campana appeared to be terribly. used
up, and his head appeared to be too heavy
for his shoulders. lie scored his 18th
mile at Gas, and his 35Oth mile at SAL. ~
took two men, one on either side, to help
him on the track from this out, and he
was sponged and dosed frequently. He
acted as II he was drunk, and he must
have been so from the quantity OF wine he
was given. lie made his 352d mile in
1850, his :53d in 1915, his 35itl in 1855,
his 355th in l1:25 and his 356th in l2:O5.
1t was arranged that Campana and
0'Leary would leave the track Mt the same
time, and Campana struggled along stag
gering until he covered 357 miles and two
laps, when he also went into his hut, a
thoroughly used up man. The score stood:
O'Lcary, 400 miles . laps; Campana, 357
miles 9 laps. ,
O'Leary was quickly dressed, and be-

out and driven to the Metropolitan Hotel.

seeming sleepy, islikely to accomplish her
task Of walking 2, 700 quarter miles in 300

Her husband is accompanying her around
the track.
At 10 tonight Madame Anderson was
making her ,lGlst quarter. She is in good
spirits and confident.
Madame Anderson in her continued
tedious walk around Mozart Garden to-
night attracted attention for her remarka-
Bile endurance, which was surprising to
those who watched her progress. The
Garden was well filed with spectators, and
there was some speculation indulged in us
TO whether she would be able TO accom-
plish the feat which she has undertaken,
that OF walking quarter OF mile every
fifteen minutes from December IS to jan
uary l3. Srglr..
She has, therefore, a walk OF sixteen
days and nights before her. a portion OF
the time to-day she staggered about the
path in dazed condition, and at other
times she frightened up and walked of
very supple. Tonight, when the place
began to till up-with spectators and the
band began to play, she appeared tolorgct
hcb pains and ailments, but shc, wore q
haggard look, which was quite a contrast
from its appearance wlien she first COM

John Dwyer, pugilist, entered the ring
and walked with the lady for four hours.
