ent. The pedestrians were encour-
aged by the most hearty applause.
Ladies waved handkerchiefs and
threw several bouquets at the con-
testants as they passed along, and
men threw their hats in the air and
yelled them selves hoarse. The ex-
citement was tremendous. Early
In the evening 1t was conceded that
Rowell would take the belt. The
interest was then upon Harriman's
making 450 miles, the distance nec-
essary to secure a share of the gate
money. Hartman walked very
lame and appeared to suffer great
pain, but he struggled along game
ly and steadily nearer his goal.
Ennis was in fine form during the
evening and make some very quick
miles. He was quite fresh and en-
tirely free from lameness. He made
squirt after squirt, both walking and
running, and the applause that
greeted him was immense. About

Ennis were all on the track to.

walked around talking with him.
The cheering was loud, but when
Eunis came along and linked with
Hartman on the other side the ap-
plause burst forth in q deafening
roar. They marched around arm
in arm and dozens of bouquets were
hurled at them. The Judges an
nounced that two laps were taken
from the score of each man
for having received support
while going twice around the track.
Hartman turned his 45th mile at
7:3L22. 1t then became certain
that he would turn his 450 miles
and earn his share of the gate
money. He left the track at 4:4S. 80

when he again appeared. lie had
evidently more friends in the build
ing than the other two. Rowell
finished his 4Slst mile at 4:13.17
and kept on walking and running
alternately, finishing his 4S5th
mile at 5:l3.44, remaining on the
track. At he had completed his
494th mile. AS Hartman neared
his 450 mile and Rowell was clos
ing up to his 500th the spectators
became perfectly wild with excite
ment and as Hartman turned his
450th mile and as the great white
| figures on the blackboard an
nounced the result, such storm of
applause as has been seldom heard /,
burst forth and lasted fully ten
minutes. He completed his 450
miles at 8:42 and a man had to
carry around before him several
immense bouquets presented by his
lady friends. He carried small
American flag over his shoulder
and this incident increased, If that
were possible, the enthusiasm.

siprocity.
OTTAWA, March 14th.-In the
course of a speech on the tariff
changes, last night, Mr.. Tilley said:
A larger proportionate share of our
revenue must be derived from the
United States than from England,
Since the United States abrogated
the reciprocity treaty goods had
largely been admitted free. 1t was
hoped that this would induce the
United States to deal as literally
by us, but this expectation was not
realized. We would be compelled
to impose on United States goods a
higher share of duty than before,
but coupled with this condition
that, when the United States were
willing to take Off any portion of
their duty, we were ready to meet
them. The government was in
favor of reciprocity of tariffs In
hopes ofa judicious reciprocity of
trade.
