on run. He was Joined in the race by Hart,
the colored boy, who challenged his pace. The
moment these started Hazael and Merritt fol-

side went Rowell and Hart at ten.mile gait,
every moment increasing, and Immediately be-
hind and trying to catch up were Hazael and
almost coupled, went the four for several
laps, and one continuous yell went up from the
crowd. O'Leary called off Hart, and then
Merritt dropped into walk. Rowell and Ha-
zael soon afterwards abandoned the run. The

from all. The score at o'clock was: Weston
455, Rowell 52s, Hazael 400. Guyon 40, Ennis
444, Merritt 514, Hart AT, Krohne 442, Taylor

o'clock that Rowell Merritt and Hazael would
be first to third positions that they paid their
tickets in advance on five per cent. discount.

shower of applause announced the posting Of

manned on the track. Weston sought the &C.

to reappear should Ennis or Krohne threaten
to displace him from sixth position. Ennis

and was greeted with storms of applause. Tay-
lor finished his 45Oth mile at 9:25, at tremen-
dous speed, and was presented with pie.

thing rate, winning a burst of applause.

late to see the show ''the grand international
humbug, organized in London and consum-
mated in New York." Official score is as fol-

THE FINISH. .-
At a quarter past eight Rowell walked around
carrying the American flag, and Merritt ran
around with the union jack, the band playing
alternately yankee Doodle and God save the
Queen" and the dense crowd cheering, whist
ling and clapping hands. The frenzy seized
the vast masses of people in the streets, and
their responsive roar filled the garden where
tne cheering was renewed, when grand tOral
piece, shield surmounted by waving corn,
was presented to Rowell. 1t bore the inscrip-
ton: ''To Charles Rowell, by the Albion Soci-
ety." 1t was carried in front of Roweu for
several laps. In few minutes the uproar
seemed redoubled, when Merritt, Hazaei and
Rowell, hand in hand, Merritt the central fig
ure, walked round the track, they stopped op-
posite the time-keepers' stand, and Rowell said:
Gentlemen, thank you; I am through"
The three men then retired from the track and
match at 8:25, their score being Rowell $50;
Merritt, SIS; Hazael, 500 and one lap.
