THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH

THE INTERNATIONAL MATCH.
New York, March 15-A greater num-
Der of persons we're in Gilmore's garden this
forenoon than on any previous morning
since the pedestrian contest began. A very
large proportion of those present were la
dies, who manifested decided preference
for Hartman. 1t is believed he will make
the $50 miles and secure the third mans
share Of the gate money. This is all he
will he forced to do. Ennis walks we'll, and
in fine form. There are many expressions
Of regret that he was sick the first two days
of the race, otherwise it is held that he
would be first at the finish. Rowell, like
Ennis, gives no 81 gn of fatigue.
The following is the score: o'clock a.
m.-Rowell, 457; Ennis. 433 Hartman,
Alb. 10 q. m.-Rowell, 459; Emil, 437 {;
Hartman, All. IL .. m.-Rowell, 463 !;
Ennis. 40; Hartman, 42o. IL m.-Row-
ell, 367; Ennis, 443; Hartman, 423. p.
m.-Rovell, AL; Ennis, 547; Hartman,
427. 2p. m.-Rowell, AS; Ennis, $50;
Hartman, 43O.
Among the visitors to the garden thi
morning was the British minister. Sir Ed
ward Thornton and wife. About 80 o.
m. Ennis begun bis 45O,h mile on run,
and made it in seven minutes and sixteen
seconds, the fastest mile of the match.
About II O'Clock a lady presented Harri.
man with large floral basket. Rowell,
who was walking at q brisk pace some die
tance behind, soon came abreast and taking
one side Of the basket walked with
Hartman around the track to the cabinet
of the latter, where the basket was deposit
ed. The incident ELECTED tbunders of ap.
plause.
Rowell was rendered large crown Of
flowers and lsural. Oo the crown were
two English h,ge, and .surmounting these
the stars aud stripes. Rowell
did not receive tho tribute,
and bis trainer placed it at his headquarters.
Ennis received his share of flowers. He
looks strong with plenty of walk and run
In him yet, He, like Rowell, encourages
Hartman and walks with him on occasional
laps. He unfortunately cannot be applaud.
cd as Rowell for his magnanimous conduct,
as if be aud Rowell only make 450 miles,
Ennis receives but OF the the receipts
whereas If Hartman makes 45O also, Ennis
will get 20 per cent. of the gate money.
As the day advances, Hartman makes
up bis mile. At o'clock he made 432; En-
mis-, $50; Rowell 476
1t is conceded that Hartman will cover
450 miles and save his gate money. 1t is
said that Ennis and O'Leary have already
challenged Rowell for the belt, and that the
money has been put up.

Ennis appeared to be in fine condition dur
ing the evening, and covered some very quick
miles.
here was no betting of any kind on the
rIairh late ia ,he afternoon, the result being
considered d foregone conclusion.
As H:rfltaan neared his 18th mile and
Rowell closed up to his 500th, the audience
grew fairly wild with excitement, and as Har-
riman turned his 450th mile and the great
white figures on the blackboard announced
the result, storm If applause burst forth,
lasting fully ten minutes.
Hartman completed $50 miles at SAP, and
his attcndandant carried several immense bo-
quets presented by lady fri lis around the
track before him, and he carried a small
American flag over his shoulder which ap-
peared to redouble the enthusiasm.
When the figures 800 went up opposite
RowelIs name on the blackboard at S.57, the
excitement can scarcely be immagined. Row
ell then put on his ulster and carving the
American flag over his right shoulder and an
immense boquet in his left hand, marched
around the track twice with the Captain of
Police on one side and his trainer on the 9TH
er. The Band played God Save the Queen"
and the enthusiasm ran very high Rowell
then left the track for good, went at once to
the Ashland House. and was bathed and rub
bed down, and retired to rest for four hours.
He was received at the hotel by twenty la
dies and congratulated
Ennis remained on the track alone, and
was walking in order to win q bet of $500,
for which amount he had backed himself to
walk AS miles. He was chcer,d Justify and
the audience did not diminish. He made AS
miles at l0.5j The applause was tremen-
dous as he ran his 415th mile in 6.55, the
fastest Of the contest. He made his 475th
mile on the dead run, doing his last lap in 46
seconds.
o'Leary made 2l5 miles.
This concluded the great walking match,
and the vast crowd dispersed peacefully.
