 The Walking DEatch-Rsmarkable Sc0res-ssBIOWer,, Br0Wn'S Record Extraordinarily and Ennis With- draW-TremendOus Work by Hart and D0bIer.
 | NEW YORK, April 5.-The contest for the O'Leary belt at Madison Square Garden causes great excitement, and public enthusiasm is aroused by the remarkable scores made by the men. The previous records of the contes. tants naturally suggested big performance, and this anticipation bids fair to be realized. The garden was visited by many spectators during the day, and this evening it was thronged. Murphy, the present holder of the belt, after walking 15 miles, was compelled l owing to rheumatism to retire, and Ennis re- tirement, which was caused by cramps, leaves sixteen men on the track.
 At p. m., fifteen hours from the start, the score stood: Faber 90, Hart 88, Dobler 86, Woods 85, Mcintyre 61, Allen 80, Pegram 75, Howard 76, Merritt 73, Williams 72, Henry 64, Hanwaker GA, Brown 61, Kerwin AS, En- his 39, Jaybee 34, Murphy withdrawn. A band appeared at 5 p: m., and immediately after the first strains had penetrated the op- pressive air of the building every walker broke into run, and there was a lively time for half au hour. The betting on Dobler at two of the pool tables has gone even one to one for first second place. Ennis was still off at p. m., and there is 8 rumor that he will not return. He is suffering great pain in the stomach. The count of tickets shows that up to 10 o'clock this morning there were 1928 paying admissions to the garden.
 Shortly after II o'clock Hart, after con- pleting 131 miles, retired to take rest. Dob Ter, few minutes later, completed 129 miles and also retired for three hours rest Score at 12 o'clock: Hart 131, Dobler 129, Faber 121, Mcintyre 121, Allen 119, Merritt 112, PegrRm 1O4, Woods 101, Williams 10O How ard 97, Brown 95, Hanaker 90, Henry 83, Krohne S3, Kerwin 51, Jaybee 50. Shortly after midnight all the principal walkers were off the track for rest of two or three hours. walkers caused the greatest excitement among the spectators, and frequent spurts made by the men during the afternoon were loudly applauded. Much disappointment was felt at the withdrawal of Ennis, who retired shortly after @. m., and left the building with his trainer at noon. Faber completed his 100 miles at 4:53.5, being minutes and 55 seconds better than Blower" Browns late record in England for the same distance. Hart completed his 100 miles at 4:58. 55 and Dobler at 5:19.4O. The latter, who is O'Lsarys entry, is now looked upon as the ''dark horse,'' and the odds against him, which were 20 to 1 at the start, now to 1, while only even money is bet against Hart's winning Shortly after completing his 100 miles, Faber left the track and Hart then took the lead, closely pressed by Dobler. Pe- gram, who appeared to be outpaced at the start, has done some fine walking this even- ing and rolled off mile after mils in good form. At eight o'clock the score stood: Hart 115, Faber 113, Dobler 113, Mcintyre 105 Woods 100. Allen 100, Merritt 95 Peg ram 93, Howard 91, Williams 100, Brown S4, Krohne 78 Hanaker v, Henry v, Ksrwin Y II place between Hart and Dobler, which re- suited in Hart's retaining his advantage. Dob- Ter then followed Hart closely for several miles, but failed to take the lead. At 9:30 the eccentric Jaybee was presented with 8 bouquet, which he carried around the track tors. About this time Taylor, who ap- peared somewhat tired, again left the track and went to his tent. Score at o'clock: Hart 120, Faber 11S, Dobler 116, Mcintyre 109, Woods 101, Allen 100 Merritt 99, Pegram 93, Howard 92, Williams 100, Brown 58 Hanaker S1, Krohne IS, Henry 79, Kerwin 51, Jaybee 42.
 At 10 o'clock about 4 900 were in the build ing. The walkers looked as if they would like to join them, especially Merritt who has ap- parently lost the fine form shown in previous contests. Score at 10 o'clock Hart 125, Dobler 126, Fabsr 121, Mcintyre 113, Allen no, Merritt 1O3, Williams 100, Pe-
 
 85, Henry 80, Woods 1o1, Krohne IS, Kerwin 51, Jaybea A.
 At Il o'clock the score of the first six was Hart 129, Dobler 127, Faber 121, Mcintyre 11G, Allen 114, Merritt 1O6. There was no material change in the others scores. ,Ehe Cohoes strike-IndIcat,on of a

 CoHoEs, April 5.-There were no new de- fQ fo-dsv 7aoordioo fha trit- Rotb sides remain firm to all appearances, but it is generally believed the difficulty will be set tied before the end Of this week. rumor spread throughout the city yesterday that Rev. Father Dugas, of St. Joseph's Catholic church, had notified his people that he would rsfuse the rights of the church to all members of the union is denied by him. He said, in an interview to-day, that while taking deep interest in the welfare of his people, he would not interfere with their temporal movements. Ths Harmony Company have made arrange ments for quantity of filling, which with what can be suppii,d by the mules in opera tion will keep ths two thousand looms now running in operation for short time. D. J. Johnston, general superintendent of the. con- pany, when asked if he did not think it would be a benefit to the company to discharge Dennis Murray, said: 'tNo, it would be positive injury. To run the Harmony mills three weeks would be an impossibility. Before the demands of the employees were acceded to, because they were deemed right, but their manner of ob- taining them was decidedly wrong. The re- suits of these concessions were experienced in just two weeks. I have positive informa- ton that if the spinners had not turned out as they did the weavers in Mo- mill would have inaugurated another strike in three days" An inventor is now at work experimenting on spinning frames. He claims to have an in- vention which will supersede mule spinning if it can be successfully carried out, and he has great faith in his ability to make it work. The spinners scout the idea and say it will not work. The runor that the company will in- augurate general lockout If the strike is not ended by Saturday next is pronounced untrue by the officials of the company. A grand mass meeting is to be held Wednesday after noon.
