New YORK, Dot. 6.-Blower Brown went
off the track at 1925 this forenoon and did
not appear again until 9:25 tonight. He
looked sick and worn out, and after remain
ing until $40 he went to his tent. The ap-
plause was very generous when the black
board showed that, by II O'Clock, and with
two hours to spare to complete the first "a
hours of the race, five men had made over
100 miles. Young Murphy continues to 20
splendidly, and he runs and walks as fresh
as when he started. The colored man,
Pierce, is developing great strength, and
goes around at a gait which is assuring to
his hackers. He proposes doing 100 miles
each day, and at 11:3O he was in fair way
to make his first 100 miles within the "a
hours. Blower Browns trainers are still
hopeful, and said their man would come on
the track at midnight and begin the strug-
gle for leading place. They admit he was
very sick, but said he was rapidly recover
ing. j
New YORK, Oct. blower Brown came
on the track at l o'clock and seemed per-
fectly recovered from his sickness and after
walking few laps broke into fine run.
