= den, Jackson having retired yesterday
morning, and Panchot having given up
last night with score of 2O5 miles
n He will challenge the winner. The
4; men all look fatigued, and the long
8, tramp is beginning to tell on them.--.
l. Guyon took the track at 3. So this morn
ing, after good sleep. Merritt went
off at l2.54.l5 this A. M. and returned
to the track at 3.O4.30 and began his
u work for the day. Hazael returned to
y the track at 2.29 this A. NJ; he does not
: seem to be quite as lame as he was yes
terday.
Weston slept we'll, it is SAID, and
p came on the track at 3.3S. Rowell ap-
peared on the track at 2.11.35 A. NJ. in
good condition. Ennis took a long
rest; he went to bed at 5.06 o'clock yes
" rerday afternoon and slept well until
:. 2O7.35 this morning, when he again
y took the track. Hart rested but little;
he went to bed at ESQ this morning.
y y and was again at his work at 4. .35 A. N.
/. Krohne came on the at 2.23 A. M. Tay-
lor went to bed at midnight and took
the track again at 1852. Federmeyer
slept from 1925 A. NJ. until 3.07 A, M,
=. Hart turned one of his ankles soon
: after coming on the track, and after
a that he walked little lame. O'Leary,
, who is his hacker, said after the acci-
dent that he did not now expect Hart
, to make more that AGO miles.
! There were very many mistakes made |
, by the markers in putting up the laps
for the several walkers, and the au-
dience frequently reminded them that
laps had been neglected. The markers
are too fond of talking with one another.
The badges which were provided to
each of the official scorers, and which
entitled them to eat AMI driuk as much
as they pleased, were called in to day,
and tickets emitting each to breakfast,
dinner and supper was substituted
The markers say that under the badge
system each scorer ate about ten hear-l
ty meals day. |,
The attendance through the day was :
good, and some of the managers claim
to think that 100000 will be taken at s
the gate during the walk. The first t
threeday brought in s33, 1000. t
At eight O'Clock in tLeevsning Ennis, @
Hart, Federmeyer and Weston were run
ming at rapid gait. Ennis made his S
3OOth mile in Z minutes and SO seconds a
and was loudly cheered. Merritt, who f
had been going only fairly during the n
afternoon, turned his 45Oth mile at o
6.5e.25.
Merritt is making fine struggle to r
get ahead of Hazael and take second t
place, but Leis hardly equal to the task. Il
he seemed to be getting used up and t
the tremendous pace is telling on him. I
Rowell seems fresh, but the pace that Il
Hazael has forced him to take is evi- t
IDENTIFY not agreeable. He retaliates by
sticking to Hazael's heels with wonder '
full pertinscity. He dogs him around tt
mile after mile, and some of the crowd tt
shouted at him: "Come of, doggy" u
At nine o'clock there were fully T.. 81
600 people in the Garden. Hazael went ts
off the track for short rest at 7.5O-3O, OF
after finishing his 354th mile. Guyon g.
is not going very strongly, and seems C.
to be losing ths fine form he displayed re
in the first few days. Hart is suffering in
from his head, and wears a wetted Il
around his forehead and
walks in languid sort of way. He vi
has taken but little rest since the start, b
and that seems to be telling on him W
now. fri
AT nine o'clock it was stated at the II
betting stand that the total betting on
booked SO far amounts to about S225,- ca
300.
Federmeyer, the "ancient wheelbar- cl'
'ow man." is astonishing every one.- Oa
He plods along at rapid walk, and sn
occasionally breaks into a brisk run. on
He frequently carries huge sponge, So
With which he mops his face and ample IN;
lair. wi
At ten o'clock, which was the end of Til
he ninety-thrd hour of the walk, an
lowells score was 1881. This puts l..
lin eight miles and six laps ahead of
Veston's record for the same time in col
he great match for th~ belt in London. to
t also made him forty-three miles and tn
ne lap ahead of his own record when col
IL won the belt here in March, 1869. tn,
The betting was seven TO one against Be
Iazael, 80 to against Merritt, 100 to l nei
gainst Guyon, Weston and Hart The pei
est were virtually out of the betting.
The score at o'clock stood Weston, wo
%; Rowell, 402 Hazael, 1858; Guyon, un
45; Ennis, 80; Merritt, 367; Hart, bel
30 Krohne, 307; Taylor, 1s0, Feder- the
eyer, 2SS. ed,
A crowd of people in the north con
est end of the building commenced Oai
issing Weston every time he passed the
lem. lie
1t annoyed him, and he glared at thi'
em in a wild way, and he shook his 2.3
ne at them. More of the crowd ap- had
auded vigorously to counteract the Phi
sses. 7
A burly ruflian, whow as half drunk, wa
rev brick at Hazael near the south sors
st end of the track. The brick and
issed him, and the scoundrel was the
omptly arrested. in t
The man who threw the stcne at 2.s(
azael, and who was arrested, is Eph in t.
bland, of Cincinnati. All the men mad
now off the track except Weston the
d Merritt. Rowell, Guyon and En- that
4 have retired for the night. the
