wESTON'S WAYS.
AT 1862 a. m. weston resumed the track, hav-
ing been off since 11:14. There was no appre-
ciable difference In the mans movements ex-
cept that his growing wealln made his ner-
vous condition more unpleasant to see. HIS
condition this morning is unchanged, and un-
less he halks he is sure of place inside Of the
450 miles.
WAS RowELL SICK OR PLAYING PossUM?
Rowell, who retired at 1901, came upon the
track at 1881. His gait showed no limp, and
the only sign of his sickness was the dark Cir
cles under the hollow eyes and pinched ap-
pearance OF the features. There are those who
nave expressed doubt as to the genuineneSS of
the Englishman's sickness. 1t Is affirmed and
believed by many that Rowell can easily hold
lead OF ten miles, and that knowing that, his
friends gave him rest Of five hours and put
out the sensational umor that he was sick and
poisoned In order first, to make the race closer
ard thus more exciting, and, second, to excite
public feeling so that the people would come in
sreater numbers to see the presumable struggle
this belief point to the fact that Rowell walked
no worse than would any man after such
struggle OF four days and then sleep OF five
hours: and, further, that the inevitable increase
IN the receipts was the grand objective point.
THR OTHER WALKERS.
At4:02 the ungainly Englishman Hazael came
on the track. He bad rested hours and min
utes. His numbering gait was unchanged ex-
cent nv stiffness This ia the who
such disgusting and foul abuse to O'Leary while
he Wss llking in England and Of which the
American public has heard so much. Hazael is
backed by Dan Noble, who served term in the
New York state prison for robbing the Royal
Insurance Company. Afterward he was in the
Hulks In Paris for pocket picking and is now
keeping public house In England. Guyon, who
went off at SAB last night, came on again at
1:S7. The Chicago boy Is living on his grit now.
His body Is In pitiful condition, but he Will
stay until the lights go out tonight. Ennis
went off at 11:14 and returned at 1890. He again
retired at 2:56 and returned at 3:49. He is In
splendid form now and will surely make
at 1892 last night and with intervals of rest so
short as to be difficult to record he kept up his
swinging gait, after the first place. Little Ha. L
has scarcely rested at all through the night.
During the early morning before day light he
coached Guyon thirteen times around the track.

ROW ReWeil Seems fresh and lively this morning,
and walks around with confident air. He is
neither lame nor sick, and hts long rests Of
yesterday seem to have brought him jack to
| keep lead Of IL miles, as he knows that that
| is enough to keep all competitors well In hand
with II necessary, his trainers say, he is
| night, but, except occasion requires it, he will
| not be pressed. Merritt keeps up strong
| walk, but makes no headway on RoWells lead.
| Hart, the colored boy, Is In good trim, and Is
| quietly adding on miles. Ennis is walking
| steadily, and will no doubt easily finish 45O
miles or over. Guyon is also going steadily but
| pushed, will readily complete $50 miles by II
| O'Clock to- night. Krohne is fully confident Of
finishing 45O miles before night. Hart has taken
| very little rest during the past "a hours. He
| walked around the track this morning with his
| eyes tightly closed, and apparently sound
| asleep. He had to be shaken by his trainer, and
| opened his eyes in dazed sort OF way.

edly be too large and the confusion too great
