WHAT APPLAUSE WILL. do.
Another and no mean factor In this footing will be
the applause The week has heard it rolling in many
times. and often in most generous doses. But if
John Ennis will cut those miles down to-day
until he weeds out the teens the shouts will
go up in that great house to shake every timber
in its roof The spur of such excitement as that
will take tho tire out Of muscles which ordinary
times would have long since been used mp That and
Rowen combined will drive Ennis along like put
MANS steed at Horsencck. That mighty throng
will be business incarnated toward the end
ana everything they can do by word and look and
yell and flowers. aud handkerchefs and other
signals TO push brave John to the front will be

day? Won't those poor pipers have TO work, thought

you'll cross that line first the last night. Win that
race and you'll never need to swing another juck
plane. Run that little hard for two hours in
the morning as you did q while at night aud you'll
take the lite clean out of him.
Few who. have watched the week will deny that
the to last two days day longer
he'd win it "as he liked. for he is plainly in
better condition to-day than the little English
fellow, and, indeed. more desperately resolutc
man. But II Rowell holds the track till
eleven tomorrow night IL is highly probable that
the most our man do. taking all favoring cir.
cumstances into account. Is to make all the new
miles Rowel does and cut the twenty-five odd
ones down to about ten. II he can do that
