LONDON, June 1e.-The interest in the in-
ternational walking match in Agricultural Hall
is hourly increasing. Brown s still the favor
ite. although many think that Weston has an
excellent chance to win the belt. At daylight
this morning Brown looked bright and cheer
ful. while Weston was somewhat pale and hag-
gard. He had been disposed during the night,
and physician was summoned to his tent to
prescribe remedies. He was in his tent last

walking. and Weston and Harding were resting.
When Weston came on the track again his
condition was considered much better than that
OF his competitor. Brown. who is making an
extraordinary effort to secure decided lead.
began TO show tho effects OF his hard work. He
looked wearied and walked lame although he
did not allow his lameness 10 affect his pace.
Harding to-day decided TO give up the race. be-
ing unable to bear the pain OF walking with
blistered feet. He has shown no little courage
thus far and II is n great disappointment to

Ennis has recovered from his attack Of cramps.
and walked to-day in good form and with much
freedom. Much sympathy is expressed for him
on account Of his having incapnci,ated himself
from any possible chance OF winning the rnco

two drowning women. He still suffers from tho
