All day long the Garden did what would
be termed in theatrical parlance paying
business" but in the evening the only limit TO
its gathering was its capacity. The concourse OF
Friday night a crush; that of last night was a
rrusher. From the gates on Madison avenue to the

cares for dollar Not that 81 represented the
actual expense. for it may be safely asserted
that there wasn't man in all that vast
army of yelling. shouting fanatics who neither
smoked nor drank. Betting was OF course suspended,
and the unhappy losers searched i'll vain for victims
who could be seduced by any odds whatever to ease
them ot their load. One singular feature or tho
audience the great number of small boys, many
of whom had bought cards ON the several walkers,
and all of whom smoked cigarettes IN the most
approved manner.
Another feature was the prominence of female
visitors. The Twenty sixth street side was as be-

THE MONEY TO DIVIDED.
The most extravagant estimates have been made
as to the amount OF money taken IN during the week
and the amount which Will be divided among the
contestants "Seventy-ive thousand and not a cent
less has been taken in on this thing. said gentle

Manager Kelly, however, stated at late hour last
evening that at a meeting of the hackers of the
men held on Tuesday. an agreement had been
entered into by which the contestants originally
entered were TO first draw out $1,000 each,
agreement was to be made. At first it was stated
that each man was to draw out $1,000, but that
proved to be an error. The rumor that the hackers

ImG fFeH and Farm, to whom Mr.. Atkinson and

Putting the net profit at $4,000, which is a
able figure. the division, after taking out 81 900 or
$1,000 for each man entered. would be as followss-
Ennis 30 per cent of remainder $4,000

This is, however. approximate estimate; but
the actual figures will not vary much, and the
amount the Englishman will carry away is about
three times much as OLcary earned when he won
