NEW YORK, March 13.-A reporter this
morning visited the headquarters Of the diff
ferent pedestrians In Gimores TO make in
quiries regarding their course OF treatment
Atkinson, Rowelps Representatives, said
When Rowell retlres, whether for long OF
short rest, he Is uniformly put through four
different courses Of treatment. We first bathe
his feet In salt water, then rub him with
whisky, then we give him an efnhrocati0n,
and put clean guernsey on him. The length
u time given him for rest depends, on oir-
curnstances. Ii he goes to sleep quickly he
Is allowed q certain time; If not, we let him
90 ahead soon again. Rowell's cabin is ar
ranged tastefully and everything indicates
that he is In thoroughly capable hands. At
Ennis cabin the attendants said that as soon
as Ennis left the track he Is rubbed down and
put to bed. IL necessary, a hypodermie in
lection Is given, and sometimes a milk bath
is resorted To-. AT Harrlman's cabin the at
tendant said the course observed was similar
to that Of Ennis trainer. Both are allowed to
take good long sleep during the night
II 80 o. Hartman is resting consider
ably but Is quite up to the programme laid
out for him before the race commenced. He
Is the only one that has strictly followed his
programme. It gives him eighty five miles
to do to-day and Saturday he Is to do over
one hundred. Rowell still looks very well.
Ennis will undoubtedly cover over $50 miles
by Saturday and get share OF the gate
money, probably $4,000 dollars O'Leary
still remains in one of the upper rooms OF
Gilmore's Garden. He was In much better
condition this morning, aud thought after
another days rest to be able to go out on the
street.
Associated Press has Just had an interview
with O'Leary. He was in good health, but
seemed In kind of dreamy state. He feels
