THE BEAN POT TOURNAMENT
The Maine Team Falls Behind-Massa.
chusetts First and Maine Third.

At $50 p. m. Monday the walk for the Beam
Pot worth 5000, began in the tent on the old
Coliseum grounds, Boston, Ats o'clock the
men all appeared, dressed in their walking re-
gala, consisting of tight-ftting undershirts,
knee breeches and trunks, and marched around
the track to the music of Higgins Ninth Reg
iment Band, which furnished music during
the evening.
Fred Rounds of Saccarappa, and Stanley S.
Chapman of Portland represented. Maine Gray
and Percival of Massachusetts, took the lead,
all running at canter with the exception of
Costigan of Rhode Island, who for the first
hour maintained a steady and quick walk.
Gray and Percival kept together, while Rounds
of the Maine team made repeated spurts, and
at the close of the first hour led, having COW
cred eight miles and two laps. The Maine
team at this point was credited with fifteen
miles and laps, and Massachusetts, stood even
with them, while Little Rhody had covered IA
miles and laps The Maine men-Rounds
and Chapman-b began to push things during
the next hour, at the expiration of which they
had respectively covered IA miles laps and
Is miles and laps. Percival and Gray, at this
pecially the former, who rallied however, dur
ing the next hour. Gray seemed stiff about
the knees, but kept bravely on. Costigan al
the while seemed satisfied to keep on at a
steady walk, while his comrade, Dorsey, con-
tinued to squirt. The latter soon showed the
effect of this, and during the third hour was
obliged to retire frequently. Up to $50, at
which time there was a large crowd of ladies
and gentlemen present, the different teams did
not change their relative positions, Maine be-
| ing first, and Massachusetts, and Rhode Island
next in order. At 10 o'clock Dorsey began to
| squirt, and rapidly cut down thegap existing
between him and the two Maine men. Costi-
| gan all the while maintained his steady walk,
| but was putting in solid work that made a
good showing. Dorsey for an hour and a half
ran hard and continuously, and gained on
Rounds who was leading. The race between
Dorsey and Rounds was exceedingly exciting.
Rounds, who was much fatigued, doggedly
contested every inch, but his opponent con-
tinued to gain. Dorsey finally made burst
that carried him up to and by Rounds, just
| about half a minute before the call of time, at
11.33, amidst the widest enthusiasm of the
1500spectators who witnessed the struggle. AT
the close the men individually stood in the
following order: Dorsey, 30 miles, laps 81
yards; Rounds, 30 miles 81 laps; Percival, 80
miles laps so feet; Chapman, "a miles lap;
Gray, 80 miles lap $50 feet Costigan, 30
