Condition Of the walkers Yesterday
Morning.
NEw YoRK, September 25.-Ennis
slept during the night, and this morn
ing states that ne has brought his stom-
ach into subjection. At2O'clOck Harris
attendant left the building for sleep.
The boy was at the time circling the
track at an easy gait. Hazael was also
on the track, and at 2:l5 broke into
very rapid run, which reused the col
ored lad, who then began a rattling pace.
At one Of the turns Hart stepped too
near the rail, his ankle turned, and 1t
was badly sprained. He then retired.
At6A. NJ. he returned to the track, but
the pam compelled his to lean against
the columns for support. He improved
later. Weston is pronounced an un-
manageable bundle OF nerves. GuyOn
complains Of the hard track. lie says
il is good for runners, but death on
walkers. He went off the track at lO:55,
and returned at 1858 this morning. lie
has been working steadily ever since.
He seems in good condition.
Pauchot Is carefully guarded in his
tent. His condition is believed TO be
very bad.
The boy Jackson came on the track at
an early hour this morning. lie IS IN
terrible condition.
Hazael's friends. say he is going for the
first place. He makes occasional
good runs. The feet OF Federmeyer are
very bad. krOhne has not eaten any
solid food this week Merritt Is IN eX-
cellent condition. Taylor says he will
make 800 miles in the week. ROwell Is
in prime order.
