litt. Englishmnn stretched hs short legs. hut

long-loSeed Yankee. Then Hartman settled
Ennis qut the ira K at 2: 81. and entered his
cottage, which Is hccoming well laden with flow
upqn the fret two days OF the walk he received
little or no attention from any one except his
1tith,ul vile and his trainers. Now he receives
many telegram-. One came yesterday from

Friends in Buffalo sent cheering words. and

There WAS little betting in the afternoon. The

Ennis would not make over 40 and that HRrri-
man would not make $50. No one wanted to
