AS their arrival not known in pedestrian circles
they left undsturbed and Hazae and his trainer
sailed out in quest Of Rowell. whom they found
ut the Ashland House. The meeting of the two
rivals was most cordial. After conversation of two
hours an invitation extended to them to attend
the picnic of the police of the Nineteenth precinct at
Jones Wood and it was promptly accepted. Hazael's
first experience in this country is best told in his
own words-"I didn't ave time, you know" he
said. "to this great city. but Rowell (who was
sitting at the reporter left during the interview
asked me to ere Then these fellows. who are
very kind asked me to give them hexhibition Of

certainly did," was the reply. II put up s75
first and left the balance at the office where all the
deposits were made"
Hazael is cheerful, communicative and of buoy
ant disposition; Of an angular build. with a most
ungainly step, half walk half trot and in personal
appearance the most unprepossessing OF all the
contestants; but in animal endurance, breadth of
chest and well knit muscles he is second to Of
his competitors.

Paisley. ana Clark. Of Alexandria. two crack per-
formers. 10 miles at Glasgow in so minutes. In

His legs look small and are seldom Strengthened; he
swing awkwardly and he is exceedingly round shoul-
dered Stripped in his training quarters, he looks
entirely different. His joints are we'll knit.
his legs are powerfully set and one mass of muscles.
His loin muscles remarkably developed, and his

probably withdraw from the race, as he has injured
the ball of his foot anu, Notwithstanding DR.. Woods

is being agtated. Rowell. Hazael and Brown of
the opinion that they could do at any time prev
to signing articles, but the matter is waiting for
Mr.. Atklnson's decision. Representatives of Guyon,
Krohne. butcher, Merritt. Panchot, Taylor and Ennis
held meeting last night and decided to wait on Mr.
Hess to-day to learn his plans for managing the walk
and to make known their views to being repre-
scented in the box office and in the appointment of
