Rowells success was w deserved, earn
ed as il was in the face of his serious i'll
ness on Fiday, and was a memorable
result, which the plucky fellow achieved
by sheer grit and determination at mo-
ment when defeat seemed certain. Mer-

and strangers. Hart, the negro, who en-

THE REASON HAZAEL FAILED.
To those who are not acquainted with
the facts it may be said that for six weeks
before leaving England Hafael was In
! training at the Waterloo Arms, al
Deptfo.d, just out of London, a "pub-
lic" kept by his trainer Sullivan. he
was in superb condition, and on arrival
here was almost fit, as tie terms goes,
to enter the race. New friends aud
, new faces were about him, and the in
1uence of his associations were not con-
ducive to good training. While Rowell
