destrians ut 2. VI. were as follows
Brown, 3js
Weston, 354
Brown rested two hours at a stretch during
the night. Weston picked up considerable
distance then, running once two miles with
out break. lie seems hearty aud strong
and is going finely. Brown Is not so strong
and his supporters are getting anxious.
At noon the score stood:
Weston, $50
Brown, 347
Public interest in the pedestrian contest
increases. Brown left the track at 1918,
looking rather queer His record at that time
was $40 miles and 2 laps. At few minutes
past IL, Weston completed the same distance
and remained on the track. A shout from
the crowd announced he had taken the lead
in the best time for the distance ever yet ac-
complished.
Great excitement exists throughout the
city. Weston is now running, the specta-
stors cheering and the band playing Coming
thro' the rye, Weston says this is his fare
well walk in London. and he will endcavor to
make 800 miles.
At & O'Clock Weston was resting on the
3G9th mile, and Brown was also resting, hav-
ing accomplished 36ot. lie was visited by
his doctor.
LoNpoN, June 70. Sir John Ashley had
an interview with Weston in which Sir John
complimentcd Weston on his metal. Weston
said he was going to do his level best to take
the belt back to the States. Sir John offered
to wager $500 to fl0O that Weston would not
cover $40 miles. Weston took the bet, say
ing the five centuries" would make a good
lining for the belt.
Brown is ordered to take ) hours rest, un-
doubtingly giving the race to Weston.
At three o'clock this morning the score
stood
B-own, if+ miles 0 laps.
Weston, 800 miles laps.

he had been imposed upon, that it was of no

cordingy Withdrew from the track, after max
ing "A little more than two miles. Shea kept
on and walked his twenty-five miles The
referee. Mr.. Jas. Robinson, decided the walk
in favor of Shea. This is the only decision
he could possibly render according to the
rules of walking adopted, and according to
his own good judgment. We trust this will
be the end of these foolish and often dis
graceful walking matches in this city. No
