Weston was taken sick in the early evening
and walked and trotted to his tent reguaarly.
He complained of the smoking. During the

were short He seemed determined to place a
clear lead between himself and his cornpeti
tors, Ennis turned his hundredth mile near 10
o'clock, and the applause was tremendous.
The band played Killarney and basket of
flowers was handed him. The next to appear
for the 100 mile honor was Merritt, and the
Massachusetts, men shouted themselves hoarse.
The applause for Merritt had scarcely subsidized
when the cries Of ''Hart." Hart" went up as
The colored boy strobe along. He turned his
100 miles ct fourteen minutes past 10 amid
great applause.
