THE SCORE AT MIDNIGHT LAST NIGHT.

NEW YoRK, October 23.-0f the nine men
who started on the six days tramp in Mad
ison Square Garden this morning, but one,
Panchot, the Buffalo postman, who entered
the list ut the eleventh hour, has q record
less than $50 miles; Panchot's. Is 541.
Awkward Hazael leads with 900 miles to
his credit. It will surprise some Of
Rowelps admirers to know that the cham
pion's greatest record is but 566 miles, and
that Fitzgerald, Vint and Hughes have
each made more miles than he in six days.
The men were all in splendid condition,
and it will surprise no one II more than
600 miles are covered before ten O'Clock
next Saturday night Almost up to the
hour of starting it was uncertain as to
whether Panchot
would be Allowed 60 Walk,
and on last evening protracted discussion
was had over the matter, the postman not
having appeared with his entrance money
at the stipulated time. Hughes had all
along stoutly insisted that Panchot should
not walk, but at the last moment he with.
drew his objection and the laggard was en-
rolled: When the men stepped forward to
draw for their apartments, the contrast be-
tween them was striking. Hart was the
first to place his hand In the hat. His
brown overcoat was turned up over his
ears, and his low-crowned Derby made his
face appear full and solid. Rowell was at
tired in a nobby walking suit Of English
cut, and carried q small cane. His face was
brown and fuller than when he started in
his last race, and there was an
Assuring Look OF Confidence
in his eyes. His complexion has become
clear and rosy, and his bright hazel eyes
actually made him look handsome. If ever
q man felt certain of winning that man is
George Hazeal. Fitzgerald appeared the
picture of endurance and tenacity OF pur-
pose. Hughes appeared to be in excellent
shape for the race, his looks contradicting
his last assertion that he was not in train
ing. His eyes were restless, however, and
he seemed i'll at ease Little Vint came to
the front with his hands in his overcoat
pockets. He looked healthy and confident,
a different man than when he appeared
seven months ago twinging with rheuma-
tism and requesting permission to with
draw his 81 900 entrance money. More.

others,

Panchot stood back from the crowd, dark
as an indian. He looked as il he had
walked in his moccasins all the way from
his new home in Minnesota. The race is
to be for the championship of the world
and g. 500 in stakes, of which the winner
is to have 20 per cent, the second man 20
per cent, and the third man 10 per cent.

winner takes so per cent, the Others Is, 10
and 10 per cent. respectively. IL five men
