At two O'Clock yesterday morning. Mr..
O)Lary was taken quite sick with disentery.
AT that time, he was laps ahead of Hunt,
with excellent prospects OF winning the race.
His illness compelled him TO abandon The
track quile frequently, and during those in
tervals Hunt pushed ahead until he led him
two miles. O'Leary then having sufficiently
recovered, although still weak from excessive
hemorhage of the bowels, he worked pluckily
away until he had reduced the laps between
himself and his contestant to one mile and a
half Hunt then struck out and up to
o'clock the difference in the scores remained
the same. O'Leary not being in physical con-

went around in slow,
easy pace. O'LeArY was now walking with
much more vivacity. He stood up firm and
elastic step. In comparatively short time
he had passed Hunt three times. The applause

of the large number of sympathizers snd ad
mirers which he had among the audience
After O'Leary had scored 100 miles with Hunt

brilliant spurts were made. The au
