managed to secure admission-yelled
themselves nearly hoarse. The men
went to their rooms at a quarter to ten.
The stake. with nine entries of $500 each,
amounts to 81, 50O. of which SO, $50 goes to
Fitzgerald, 5000 to Noremac and $3.50 to
Herty. At rough estimate furnished by
the managers the gate receipts amounted to
about $780, 900 and the privileges to 81, 900,
making total of $4,000 From this must
be deducted Is per cent. of the gate receipts
for the managers, amounting to $4,000; and
the expenses will amount to over 800, OOO

Jim Davis, Fitzgerald's hacker, said he
could have beaten the record. His schedule
provided for his covering 64O miles if need

pressed. Rowell and Hazael were his most
formidable antagonists, and after he had run
them down in succession the victory was in

keep Noremac in the rear. Davis said he
had made a match with Hanlen for Fitzge laid
