han the chances Of the match. A greater
number Of persons were in Gilmore's Gar
den this forenoon than on any previous
morning since tile pedestrian contest was
begun. A very large proportion OF those
present were ladies, who manifested o de-
cided preference for Hartman. 1t is be-
lieved he will make the $50 miles, and Sc
cure the third mans share of gate money.

score, at IL A. M. stood: Rowell, $50; En-
mis-, 40; Hartman, 400. Among the visi-
tors to the Garden this morning was the
British Minister, Sir Edward Thornton,

began his 450th mile on q run, and made
il in seven minutes and fifteen seconds;
this was the fastest mile of the match.
About IL o'clock q lady presented Harri-
man with q floral basket. Rowell, who
was walking at o brisk pace some dis
lance behind him, soon came abreast, and
taking one side Of the basket, walked with
Hartman around the track to the cabin of
the latter, where the basket was deposited.
The incident ELECTED thunders Of applause.
Rowell was rendered . large crown Of
flowers and laurels. On the crown were
two English flags, and surmounting these
the Stars and Stripes. Rowell did not re-
ceive the tribute, and his trainer placed it
at his headquarters. Ennis received his
share OF the flowers. He looks strong,
with plenty Of walk and run in him; yet
he, like Rowell, encourages Hartman, and
walks with him occasional laps.
