| Among the visitors to the Garden this
morning was the British minister, Sir Ed
ward Thornton, and wife. About 1:3O P. M.
Ennis began his 45Oth mile on a run and
made it in 7 minutes and 16 seconds, the
fastest mile of the match. About II o'clock
lady presented Hartman with large
floral basket. Rowell, who was walking at a
brisk pace some distance behind, soon came
| abreast, and taking one side of the basket
walked with Hartman around the track, to
the cabin of the latter, where the flowers
we're deposited. The incident elected
thunders of applause. Rowell was rendered
large crown of flowers and laurel. On
the crown were two English flags, and sur
mounting these, the stars and stripes. Rowell
did not receive the tribute, and his
| trainer placed it in his headquarters. En-
mis- received his share of flowers. He looks
strong, with plenty of walk and run in him
yet. He, like Rowell, encourages Hartman
and walks with him occasional laps. He,
unfortunately, cannot be applauded as Row
ell for his magnanimous conduct, as if he
and Rowell only make 450 miles, Ennis re-
ceives but one-quarter of the receipts,
whereas if Hartman makes 45O Ennis will
get thirty per cent. of the gate money.
As the day advances Hartman makes up
miles, and at 8 o'clock he had made 1872
miles; Ennis 45O, and Rowell 476.
It is conceded that Hartman will cover
45O miles and save his gate money. It is
said Ennis and O'Leary have already chal-
lenged Rowell for the belt and that the money
has been put up.
The Last Night.
The last night of the great pedestrian
h.
opening night in point of both numbers and
enthusiasm. At O'Clock fully 1000 people
were present. The pedestrians were en-
couraged by the most hearty applause.
Ladies waived their handkerchiefs and threw
several boquets at the contestants as they
passed along, and men threw their hats in
the air and yelled themselves hoarse The
excitement was something tremendous.
Early in the afternoon it was conceded Row.
ell would take the belt. The interest was
then upon Hartman making 450 miles,
necessary to secure share of the gate
money. Hartman walked very lame, and
appeared to suffer great pain, but he strug-
gled along gamely and steadily neared his
goal. Ennis was in fine form during the
evening, and made some very quick miles.
he was quite fresh and entirely free from
lameness. He made squirt after squirt,
both running and walking, and
was immense. About $3.50 this after
on the track together, and Rowell overtaking
Hartman asked his right arm and walked
around talking with him. The cheering was
with Hartman on the other side applause
r%h in
marched around arm in arm, and dozens of
bouquets were hurled at them. The judges
announced that two laps were taken from the
score of each man for having received sup
port while going twice around the track
Ennis completed his 455th mile at 2:23:26,
his 46Oth at 3:38:45, his 465th at 1925. He
left the track at 5000 and returned at
6:23:55, and left again at 1888 for short
rest. Hartman finished his 4.35th mile at
3:32:4O, his 44Oth at 4:47:55, his 445th at
7:3l:22. It then became certain he would
turn his 45O miles and earn his share of the
gate money. He left the track at 4:48:3O and
took a good rest until 6:14. When he again
appeared he had evidently more friends in
the building than the other two. Rowell
finished his 481st mile at
4:13:17, and kept on walking and running
alternately, fninshing his 485th mile at
5:l3:44, remaining on the track. At 7:29:3O
he had completed his 494th mile. AS Har-
riman neared his 45Oth mile and Rowell was
closing up to his 500th, the spectators be-
came perfectly wild with excitement, and as
Hartman turned his 45Oth mile, and great
white figures on the blackboard announced
the result, storm of applause seldom heard
burst forth and lasted fully ten minutes.
He completed his 45O miles at 8:42, and q
man had to carry around before him several
immense bouquets presented by his lady
friends. He carried a small American flag
over his shoulder, and this incident increased,
if that we're possible, the enthusiasm.
At 1905 all the contestants had left the
track, the band playing and the crowd leav-
ing the garden. Score: Rowell, 5OO;
Ennis, Ats; Hartman, $50.
When the figures 500 went up opposite
Rowell's name on the blackboard the ex-
element can scarcely be imagined. This
was at 81 nutes to 9 o'clock. Then he put
on his ulster, and carrying the American
flag over his right shoulder and an immense
bouquet In his left hand, he marched around
the track twice, the captain of police on one
side and his trainer on the other, the band
playing t'God Save the Queen.'' Enthusiasm
ran high. Rowell then left the track for
good, with score of 500 miles. He went
at once to the Ashland house, was bathed
and rubbed down, and went to bed for four
hours, when he is to be woke up. He was
received at the hotel by some twenty ladies
and congratulated. He seemed to be a
pretty we'll used up man. Hartman
completed 45O miles and three laps
at 8:45:45, and then he retired
from the track for good. He was surround
ed by host of friends, who brought HIM ont
