SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 22, 1880.

tage for securing first money, but the rest
are well punched, and the fight that is CO.
ing on for the secondary position is terrific
and creating intense excitement
Little Vint, the plucky Brooklyn cob
bier, Is sticking to his work with his char
acteristic dogged determination, and is
making desperate endeavor to hold third
place. He Is closely pressed, however, by
Chamberlain and Sullivan.
Hartman is in magnificent feather, and
avows his determination to take place in
the race or die in his tracks.
From this it will be seen the contest has
narrowed down to the actual pedestrians,
in the true sense of the name, and the
progress OF the race will now be watched
with the utmost interest.
All the "peds' except Hartman an.
swered to the call this morning and started
on the weary walk at IL: 80 o'clock. Har-
riman quit yesterday afternoon and is to-
day promenading Fourth street. The track
aud interior of the tent was in fine order
this morning. Hughes still leads Glow by
sixteen miles, the latter being second man
in the run.
Vint is going on dog trot, and holds
third position, with chances OF bettering
himself. Chamberlain is one mile behind
Vint and is holding out much better than
many supposed he would.
Hibbs. at the last moment, concluded
not to 60 to St Louis, and will tonight
give an exhibition walk of ten miles
square heel and toe walk. He is the cham
pion ten mile square heel and toe walker,
and travels beautifully.
Another aspirant for pedestrian honors,
in the shape Of slender ungainly looking
specimen of humanity, is tripping around
the track to-day. In response 10 our ques.
ton as to who he is, the chief scorer,
John Dyer, replied: II bought pound Of
tea this morning and got that thing with it.
| wound it up. started it around the track,
and it's been going ever SINCE"

tournament smiled an extremely large
smile when Old Sol came out this morning
and gave them the full benefit # his in-
spring rays. And this act of courtesy on
the part of genial Sol will undoubtedly
have the effect of filling Engelhardt's tent
with the biggest crowd that has yet wit

The contest In this city has thus far been
attended with circumstances that would
appal less resolute man than Fred.
Engelhardt, but with that indomitabe
will which carries him safely through all
his undertakings, he has continued on
through the many difficulties which beset
him, and will reap his reward by the pat

The race thus far has been the most re.
markable one in the annals OF. pedestrian

track represent the very flower of Ameri-

uncertainty what positions the several
competitors will take.
Hughes has of course the greatest advan.

would hsve run into the horse, and
not only killed it, bat as it had
