NIGHT At Gilmore's Garden has nroyed to
be the most remarkable contest known
in the history of athletic sports, either
in this country or Europe. It has not
assumed marked prominence from the
number of miles covered or the celebrity
of the men who last night finished their

much of it's interest. but. notwithstand-

terest displaved by the public in the re-
suit. even after the final position of the
