HARRIMAN'S FAILURE.

ELEVEN LEFT OUT OF NOBLE ARMY OF
ro,,ry NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. WITH

EXHIBITION WALK
As a joke it may be considered lamentably weak
to say that the affair now in progress at the Mao
ison Square Garden is stop-as-youplease walk put
as truthful statement it is full OF strength vi 'n'
forty contes tants who started oil lightly on Mon
day morning only eleven remained ut WORK
at midnight last night If this decline Is
TO be maintained pro rata during the next
three days it will be necessary to put on about forty
more new men. The following interesting problem
has been propounded in connection with the sraa-
ual shortening of the great line Of pedestrians 10
wit:-If it takes three days to disable twenty
walkers how long will it take to disable eleven
walkers? There are three more days In whicn
to use up the eleven men remaining ana
if one is to judge by their looks this limited
number will not be sufficient to last until SATURDAY
night 1t has been suggested that the forty fellows
who were not allowed to compete. but who appiiea
for entrance could be started and accorded the Pc
destrian delight of seeing their names in print ior
few days. Next to getting gate money the greatest
delight of the pedestrian is to see MS
mama in print This remark is not so
General as to cover all pedestrians. but
but few escape its application. 1t is now said ana
nm good authority that number Of chaps who en-
tered this last walk did purely for the sake OF
"pettins into the papers," as it is called. Ihese
walks given by O'Leary, whatever else they nave
done. have proved to the public in general that
