Tayiors reward has at last. Just at a
moment when there had been slight lul you
could begin to hear little buzz away at the east end
of the hall. III among the cascades II IS picked up
as II by magic. and, as It rushes along
the mighty thropg. walled clear up to the
roof till you distinctly hear 1t circle the entire
house. You that 1t is unquestonaby all for the
brave old Norman. and why? Why. because on high

to be running all the time tonight and swifter than
ever--the crowd gives him plenty of good cheer.

they come up the second lap! The blacks got
away from the Rhode Islander. and is rush

of the night Rowell and Hazael trot
measuredly on unmoved by the tumult. '.Goit, yer

they are neck and neck, and the handsome Chicago
boy fighting it every inch of tho way. Now he is
a hundred feet ahead of the other and as they dis

Hazael can't stand it seeing anybody run but he

Captain Williams goes his rounds and gives bis
men their night orders. The crowd, thicken-

now reach clear six thousand. There's some
smoking, not enough to bother anybody. Little

brakeman's cap on, is five miles ahead of Hazael.

and the belt, too. 'God Save the Queen" plays the
band now, and may be it will rouse him up to his
chances.
But look at them in front of Rowells tent! That
knot Of dozen Englishnen, with hats Off treat
their pet to a rousing cheer as he passes. What a
pity that little punches of the friends Of the different
Yankees couldn't be on duty along the line. too and
hundred throats gave Sam Merritt three good
hearty ones every time he passed. how they would
send him on and keep that gap wide open.
RESULT TEN O'CLOCK.
And how is the score. for it's ten O'Clock? Rowell

earlier than Weston his in England hence that

night he had done just 81 miles. and at the same
hour tonight just "a again. That doesn't look much
like giving out. does it? It's six miles bet

third day in England, and actually two

is very likely to put Guyon out of 1t and leave it
two to two. If the leaders should break down it is
not absolutely certain that that dark boy may not
win yet and if he does he will be the most popular
darky who ever trod our streets. But. taking all
together it looks more than probable that that belt
will shortly leave for England.
