RoHell left the track at l:38 this
afternoon and came on again at 2.
Ennis has taken possession of the
tent vacated by Jackson.
Hazael came on the track at 2:38.
He Is very stiff apparently, and moved
slowly at first, but gradually quickened
his gait.
Hazael, Rowell, Weston, Guyon, Mer-
ritt, Krohne, Ennis and Federmeyer
are all on the track.
Merritt, who had been going only
fairly during the afternoon, turned his
350th mile at 6:5s. and the cheering
was loud and long.
Iazael,l who has been running some
time, passed Merritt on the 349th mile
and 9th lap, amid great cheering.
Guyon is not doing very well, and
seems to be losing the fine form he at
first displayed.
As Ennis completed his 300th mile
at s:25 the applause was tremendous,
and cheer after cheer went up for him.
He is great favorite with the specta-
tors. He made his 300th mile in 1853.
AT 9 O'Clock tonight it was stated
at the betting stand that the total bet
ting booked so far amounts to 1925, 900.

barrow man, . is astonishing everyone.
He plods along at good walk and oc-
casionally breaks into brisk run.

end of the building commenced kissing
Weston every time be passed, while
another crowd applauded vigorously to
counteract the Kisses.
Aburly Cincinnati rough named Eph
Holland was arrested for throwing
stone at Hazael.
At 10 o'clock, which was the end Of
the e3d hour of the walk, Rowell's
score was 1903 miles and one lap. This
puts him 8 miles and laps ahead of
weston's record for the same time In
the match for the belt in London. 1t
also omade him 43 miles and l lap ahead
of his own record when he won the
belt here.
Rowell ran most of the 399th mile.
When the figures 400 loomed up on the
blackboard at 1884, the cheering and
clapping of hands was fairly overpow-
eripR. The audience shouted themselves
hoarse, and the band played God Save

hole, waiting for him to come out. had
no gun, but only my hunting-knife and
a large knob kerrie with me with which
to knock the porcupine on the nose, for
that, as you know, kills him at once.

grass near me move and lion got his
paw on me and lifted me up The brute
pressed his claws into me, but luckily

these had given way l should have been
laid hold of in far more rough man.

did not struggle, but quietly drew my
knife and thought what was best to do.

in the heart, but l could not reach that
part of him, and his skin looked so loose

snake, and jumped away roaring with
pain. He stood for an instant looking
at me, but did not move, and he did
not seem to like to carry me again.
More than once he came up to within a
few yards, licking the blood as it poured
from his nose; but there / remained like

SOME valuable observations have been
made in French forests by M. Fautrat to
determine the influence of trees on the
distribution of rain and moisture. He
finds that forests receive more rain than
open plains, and pines more than leafy
trees. Pines retain more than half of
the water that is precipitated upon them,
while leafy trees allow So per cent. to
reach the ground. According to this,
pine trees furnish the best shield against
sudden foundations, and the best means
for giving freshness and humidity to !,
dry climate.
