The great attraction Of the day,
however, was the "go-as.you please"

The entries, all stout, fne-looking
fellows, took their positions in front
Of the judges stand a few minutes
before the hour named for the start

and Henry Domdera, of Frostburg.
The first hour closed with Domdera
in the lead and he kept it up for two
hours when for some cause he sud-
denly left the track and was follow
ed shortly after by Rooney. When
% miles had been placed to O'Mal-
ley's credit he also took to his room
and left the two principal contestants
on the track, Mesors. "Rccks" and
Ratigan, who were evidently bent
upon worrying each other off the
sawdust ring. At times the excite.
ment was great, the friends of the
walkers urging them forward with
cheers and yells, and occasionally they
did some fine squirting but it was
evident about o'clock that Roberts,
or "Rocks'' as he Was Familiarity cal
led, would score the highest number
Of miles and Ratigan, the winner of
the match two years ago in this place,
would have to be satisfied with the
second prize. At 9:25 o'clock Rati-
gan left the track and Rocks" left
a few minutes later. During the day

the scene with come inspiring music.
