SOMETHING ABOUT THE LATE SIX DAYS con-
TEST IN LoNDoN-THE VIEWS OF DAILY
VISITOR TO AGRICULTURAL HALL.
LONDON July 6, 1879.
To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
Having just received the HERALD giving an account
of the six days contest in which Mr.. f. p. Weston
was the victor, 1 think few words from daily
visitor the may be interesting to the Amert
can public. New Workers. especially. tsy
I will give brief sketch of what saw during the
week. All our hopes were placed with Ennis. Now.
1 Ennis in New York. in the race that Rowen
won. Ennis looked bad enough the Monday
and Tuesday Of that contest. but 1t was
nothing to be compared to what he
was in this I believe that great part Of his
trouble the disappointment in not meeting
Rowell. He looked If Rowclls withdrawal had
taken all the lifo out of him. Rowell had perfect
right to Withdraw from the contest IL he wished.
yet to make the tame excuse of an accident to his
foot is quite ''too thin. man that has made tho
comfortable OF say from $4,000 to $4,000 in
six days contest, is not going to do the same thing
AGAIN for less than onethird the amount. Rowell s

New York. / hope the people of New York will
treat him as he deserves for his most unmanly
duct in the last race.

the game I'll let the Yankee win, said he. little

and then 81 must be first man in the next race in
New York; come back home following Rowell's ex-

mother" These were poor blowers" thoughts.
He made quite enough here to pay his expenses and
to spare; but. oh! how very painful that
blister must have been!
whether Weston the fairly not il not
for to say. Certain it is that Weston was in hno
condition full of good spirits. and he went round

confidence plainly visible in every movement OF his
face. Did he know from the start what the game
was? And is no going to divide the gate with the
next English winner in New York? 1t very
plain, to be sure, that not of Weston's friends
who knew what he capable of doing was more
surprised than Weston himself when he found IL
in his power to make the OF $50 miles.
Blower Brown coached Weston well the first few
days, and Weston has much to thank "Blower" for.
Now. let all ye Yankees do what you to make
Weston win in New York, and 80 dsappoint some Of
