New YORK, Oct 26.-The great race still
progresses and pedestrian regulations rise
and fall. Champion Charlie, the holder OF
the Ashley belt, has fallen again by the saw
dust wayside. AS these words are being
penned at p. M. the remaining seven men
spin resolutely and rapidly around the track
and the white figures on the elevated black
board mount higher and higher striking at
each hour for the record, which from pres
ent apr earances will be broken to skaters
before the big bellied pendulum in the scor
ers' timekeeper forces the hands of the clock
to the hour of ~ midnight on Saturday. The
extraordinary phenomenon of four and some
times five leaders punched within a scope of
ten miles has distinguished to-day's work, as
it did yesterdays and that of the day before.
The attendance tonight is an enthusiastic
one, and in point of numbers exceeds that OF
last night
AS the hour of 8 in the afternoon approach
ed there arose much enquiry as to the where
abouts of Charlie Rowell. At 2:55 p. M.
came a shout of applause from the F 'urth
avenue end of the garden and Rowell issued
from his cabin with springy tread. He
came down towards the scorers stand in
magnificent form. He had been in a Russian
bath for one hour and over, and to the cas-
ual observer he looked like man who had
just arisen from refreshing nights rest.
With easy gait and not a trace of weakness or
stiffness in demeanor kowell coursed
around the track and the admiring
crowd grew wild in admiration. But
there was flush in his face
and a culver of his limbs and nervous
tremor shook his frame which not even his
iron resolution could conquer. At 400 p.
a. he retired to his cabin and an hour and
four minutes elapsed before he reappeared
He was again hailed with enthusiasm, for it
seemed heroic endeavor for him to under
take to overcome the twenty five miles of
sawdust between himself and Fitzgerald. A
short ten minutes on the track and then the
famous pedestrian, the darling of two CONT
nents of sporting the athlete with intellect
and culture as we'll as feet and resolution, re-
tired never to tap the sawdust again.
His score stood 385 miles and 3 laps 1t was
in many ways repetition of his collapse in
the contest last spring His withdrawal was
not determined upon until some time after
his last disappearance from the arena. 1t
was announced about s p. m. and the famil-
lar name was removed from the great black
board. Shortly after the announcement
your correspondent had An interview with
Rowell's physician, DR.. T. III. Address, who
was an old school fellow of the fallen
hero at the old village of Chesterton
He explained that Charlie had reached tho
limit of his endurance and that nervous
prostration was the occasion of his collapse.
Early in the day ne had considered his
condition and had come to the conclusion
that the only thing to be done was to with
draw. This was greatly against the wishes
of Rowell and the pedestrian tried every ex-
| pedient to overcome the trouble with his
nerves. The Russian bath was the last re
sort and it failed to substantially improve his
condition. DIR. Address not wishing to take
upon himself alone such heavy responsible
ity called in the services of DIR. Taylor, a
prominent physician of this city. That gen
tleman agreed with him in every particular
! and then at the advice of the two medical
/ men, as also of his friend Mr.. Duryea, Rowen
babe adieu to the tanbark.
At 1920 p. m. Hazaei was compelled to re-
| tire to his hut by weakness and sore leg.
AS he came within his backer and trainer saw
he was no condition to return to the track.
DIR. Naylor being on hand consultation was
| held and the medical gentleman fully coincid-
ed with the trainer and said it would
| be rash to enter again upon the course. The
| athlete protested, recalling the fact in SC
many words that the hacker within two pre-
vious nights wagered $11 900 on his success,
but his protestatiops did not avail and he
Yves ordered to remain in his hut and with
draw from the race, in which he acquiesced
| crying like child as he threw up the sponge
| His withdrawal leaves but six men out OF
| nine who started in the race, all of whom are
going well and give promise of making big
| records.
