Hazaefs performances Of GOO miles
in six days, says Che New York Sun,
was clearly net S the limit Of his abil.
ity, Before, the close, Of the racesbe
had his hacker to bet ono his, going
625 miles. No one could be found
to take this bet, SO he contented him
self with 600 miles, though there is
not the slightest doubt thathe could
have made the greatest distance if
there had been any special induce.
ment.: His hacker thinks he could
have gone GAO miles in the six days.
For a six day race, as II al paro o
ted struggles. Of course The quality
of muscular endurance is the first
requisite. But that will be found
aselsss unless there gaes With it

SO'Leary, in eohditisn, ehsilyMalk-
ed away from Ills competitors; but
whensa runner came against elm be
was hopelessly beaten. He could
walk, but could not run. So, the
old .grenondier Krohne possessed
enormous endurance, but could not
reach the rnnhers. See, now, what
sort of a man has just made bis 600
miles with ease. Hazael has always
been known as j great runner for
any distance, FROM five to twenty
miles; but he was as, never sr Celebrated
as walker. Any one seeing him
coming the stretch at speed might
we'll believe he saw a ghost. When
