BANGOR COMES ora A WINNER
Haskell Gives Out ON the 18th Mile.

At 1 p m. yesterday, in the presence OF a
fair showing of spectators, including few
ladies. Mr.. Christopher Toole of Bangor and
Mr.. Albert A. Haskell of Saccaraepa, started
Gu their 80 mile walk at Lancaster Hall, for
5000. Mr.. Spellm was referee, Mr.. Reardon
judge for Toole. and Mr.. Mccain for Haskell
Besides the time of each mile the number of
each lap was marked on the blackboard-25
laps constituting mile.
A description of the men, and the conditions
of the walk, were published in yesterday g
PRESS. Toole won the toss. Both men start
ed off at remarkably quick pace. Haskell
made squirt on the first mile and got to the
front which he kept until the 18th mile when
Toole passed him, and was leading five laps at
4.3O D. NJ, when just as Haskell was on the
last quarter Of the last lap of the 10th mile, he
(Haskell) left the track. A few minutes after
it was announced by Mr.. Ewesl, the time
keeper, that Mr.. Haskell was suffering such
paia in the kidneys he would have to withdraw
Mr.. Haskell's hacker said although he believed
he could require Mr.. Toole to finish the 80
miles he should not make the requistion, but
ordered the stakeholder to pay over the money
to Mr. Toole. 1t is understood that Mr.. Toole
continued until he made 20 miles which he
finished in 8 hours 36 minutes 1t was evident
from the pace kept up from the start that the
man could keep it up for over % miles.
Mr. Toole challenged any man in Portland
to walk him from to p. N. for $25 and half
the gate mouey. Mr.. Chapman took him up
and there was crowd present at night. Toole
