ed the room) Reauseau commenced
running, at which time he had 81 miles
credited to him on the bulletin board,
and Miss Marshall 81 miles. He ran
about ten minutes, and was much APP
plauded. At 1874 he reached the ODD
mile, and at 8:48 Miss Marshall saw
her 92d mile post. Reauseau picked up
his Oath mile at 8:57, and then Miss Mar
shall braced up and started on a run,
passing Reauseau on the track, amid
loud cheering by the audience. After
running lap or two she resumed her
usual brisk walk, and then Reauseau
spurted little. When 8 o'clock ar
rived, Miss Marshall's score was raised
to 90 miles.
Both parties now took few minutes
rest, the spectators being left to amuse
themselves. Those who had bet on
Reauseau felt in better spirits than
the hackers of the lady. There was
however, a fear. in their minds that
Miss Marshall would appear and end
the match by running Reauseau down.
At 9:03 Reauseau came OH the track
and walked leisurely until 9:07, when
Miss Marshall appeared and both par
ties struck out vigorously, making a
lap in about twenty-five seconds. At
Ola Reauseau scored 50 miles, and at
9:18 Miss Marshall reached the Oath
mile, and few minutes afterwards she
could see Reauseau, over mile ahead,
running. He ran couple of laps.
BY this time the Opera House was so
crowded that large numbers were OBJ
liged to stand in the aisles and on the
edge of the track. The front of the
stage was also occupied. A number of
persons began to go behind the curtain
and when it was raised, number Of
persons were seen seated near the stage
front. A rush for the rest of the va
cant seats was made and the stage was
soon filled.
At 9:25 the orchestra woke up, and
under the. inspiration of the music,
Miss Marshall quicked her steps. At
9:27 Reauseau saw the scorer mark him
down for SO miles, and five minutes
later Miss Marshall passed her 95th mile,
the parties having been on the track,
according to the judges time, % hours.
Reauseau was nearly mile and half
ahead.
At 934 Miss Marshall ran once
around the track, but this set Reauseau
going, and he made two laps at the
run. Miss Marshall now left the track
and Reauseau commenced running,
making four or five laps. The orches-
ira were woke up by the spectators,
and at 1888 Reauseau gathered in his
9th mile and commenced hunting after
his hundred. He continued walking
briskly alone until 9:45 when Miss
Marshall appeared on the track, hay
ing rested about ten minutes.
was now almost out Of
sight, some two miles ahead, and still
full of life and miles. The orchestra
now struck up and the effect was at
once apparent in the increased speed.
Reauseau's 98th mile was reached at 9:52.
Both parties commenced running
Miss Marshall leading, and the crowd
applauding. After a few laps, both par
ties toned down to walk for few
laps. Another squirt followed.
At 9:55 McCauslin appeared ON the
track and commenced running. At
this time he was q miles behind. Miss
Marshall and Reauseau also ran oc-
casionally. Miss Marshall's score at
1908 showed 81 miles to her credit,
and she was making brisk time on her
laps, but could not get away with
Reauseau who quickened his pace also.
At 1910 McCauslin, who had run for
fifteen minutes without stop, fell into
a walk for lap, and then stuck out on
a run, hoping 10 get sight of the
pedestrians ahead. At 1913 he passed
his I'D mile post, Miss Marshall being
over "a miles ahead, and Reauseau
over rs miles ahead.
At10:15 Reauseau, amid much cheer
ing, passed his Tooth mile post, and to
show that there was considerable life
yet in him, he ran lap, At 1919
Miss Marshall gave up the race and
left the track, having walked 50 miles
lacking two laps.
Reauseau now having the track to
himself, walked along leisurly, putting
a cigar, the object being to make 101
miles. The last five minutes he ran,
and ut the end of the twenty-sixth
hour he had record Of 101 miles and
$50 feet. -.
At the conclusion Of the race, Miss

for their attendance and courtesy, and
proposed three cheers for Mr.. Reau

then proposed three cheers for his own
side, and again the hall rang with the
hearty applause. The agent then, on
