physician OLeary has left the track not to re-
turn again.
BETTING.
Betting during the afternoon varied little
from the limits of to against O'Leary, 100
Rowell and 100 to 10 against Ennis.
About $3.50 an under current Of excitement
seemed to- prevade those whom the public
denominates the insiders, and it was soon
known that OLeary had contrary to expecta-
ton and to the terrible disappointment of all
his friends and hackers, utterly collapsed and
broke down. His physicians ordered him from
the track and he was Immediately taken home.
SO great a change few moments produced
IN the noted pedestrian, one OF the physicians
remarked he never saw. His stomach, head,
feet, mouth, tongue and entire body seemed to
have given away. 1t Is very doubtful whether
OLeary ever will walk again in a pedestrian
match. In and around the garden the scene
was one of intense excitement. OF course the
general public knew little Of the actual condi-
ton of the pedestrian, and several gentlemen
who had taken long odds against him were par
tcularly downcast at the sudden collapse of
both their champion and their hopes.
HARTMAN STOCK RISING.
Rowelrs heels are blistered badly to- day, and
he has eased them in his walking whenever he
could. The excitement will be intense this
evening, and Hartman stock is rapidly rising.
COMPLETE BREAK DOWN.
The doctors say that the rumors of o Leary
having been under the influence of stimulants
of late, and that his break down is attributed
to that. are untrue. and that his failure to
hCep lue IEdCk WAS SIMPLY because ne was
used up; to emphasis of the day, played
out OLeary's condition when he left the
track was such as to excite the ivelicst fears
of his physicians, and the utmost that pro-
fessional skill and gentle care can do will be
necessary to bring him round. The excitement
in and around the garden is momentarily in
crcasing
ONE MORE LAP.
OLeary left the track at 3h. 3lm. Dos on his
2l6th mile. He returned at 81. 35m. IS. and
walked one lap and retired from the contest at
5h. Sim, having walked 215 miles, laps and
10 yards. AS he left the track he remarked to

When the accident occurred Rowell, Hartman
and Ennis were on the track, and they remained
there at the urgent request Of the parties who
were trying to allay the panic. When it was
found the building was not on fire, and on y a
portion of the gallery had fallen, the panic sub
sided. Still the feeling was one Of extreme dread
among the crowd, and q mere breath would
