Noon-In the walking match, at an
early hour this morning, Edwards sue
ceeded in passing Mcintyre, and assum-
ed the lead, which he has since reinined,
and by steady work increased it seven
miles, the score then standing Edwards,
345; Mcintyre, 33S Callahan, 325
Bowman, 315. Scott, with score of 301
has been off the track since yesterday
evening, completely used up. McIntyre's
| friends are not yet ready to throw up the
sponge, although their champion seems
in no condition to recover the ground he
has lost against comparatively fresh
man like Edwards. Bowman and Calla-
han are doing their best, the former to
gain and the latter to retain the third
J position at the finish. Bowman is in such
the best condition, but Callahan's pluck
may carry him through.
Asfraight Ticket.
The democratic state central committee
have been in session all the evening and
concluded to run straight ticket in the
state and counties, with Glenn probably
at the head. The meeting was far from
harmonious.
The H. Bs. Have a Red Hot Session.
The III. Bs' state central committee met
this afternoon, and had not adjourned at
midnight There was heated struggle
over the motion to take Glenn off. It is
rumored that if Glenn is taken down
Geo. G. Gorham will be put in his place.
Glenn has friends in the committee, and
If he will take the pledge he viii be re-
tanned. In that case it is said that he
will be put off the democratic ticket.
Edwards Wins the six-day walking
SAN Francisco, July 15.-Over 10, 900
attended the pavilion this evening to wit
ness the finish of the six-day walking
match, The greatest enthusiasm prevail
ed and the various candidates were loud
ly cheered as they went around the track.
Edwards walked slowly, occasionally
jogging lap or two, but with no need
to hurry as he had seven miles lead. He
was apparently in good condition, with
the exception of WEAKNESS from the exer-
ton of the last few days in obtaining the
lead OF Mcintyre. After rest of twenty
minutes he resumed HE walk at 9 o'clock
going stiffiy but improving somewhat af-
| ter few laps. Contrary to expectation,

ing the broken down condition in which
| he left it, Callahan had apparently Civ
en- up the contest for third position, and
| Just before o'clock Bowman, who was
walking briskly and running frequently
scored 352 miles, placing him even with
| Callahan. Newhoff, Armstrong and Nc
| Farlane made some good laps on exhibit
| ton. Old veteran Kennoyan plodded
steadily along and Chenoweth came from
long rest and hobbled painfully several
laps. About 10 o'clock most of the con-
testants retired from the track until few
minutes before IL, when Edwards reap
peared and ran two laps briskly. This
| stimulated Scott, who went round at q
rapid run, amid tremendous cheering
On nearing his tent his trainers took hin
from the track by main force. At 5 min
utes to IL, Edwards, bearing the starr
and stripes, and surrounded by all the
contestants except Scott, walked SLOWLY
