PLACE-FITZGERALD SECOND.
NEW YORK. March 2.-The interest in
the walk TODAY increased from the morn
ing hours. At : o'clock this morning
Rowel was seventeen mile, ahead, and re-
tired for an hours rest. IIazael had not
slept much during the night, but had been
| bothered by visits from his countrymen.
Rowell began TO show fatigue after his
rest. and showed more WEAKNESS
than in any previous race in this coun-
try. HaZacl at IL o'clock was 3 mile,
GGO wards ahead OF the best record,
and exactly six miles behind ROwell.
Fitzgerald ut the same hour was rolling up
lap after lap, but was evidently in pain.
Hughes showed the fast racing Of the first
few days, and retired to his tent frequently,
and limped painfully. Little sullivan was
one Of the brightest-looking OF the lot.
lie was frequently applaudcd. Hart did
well all day. NOremac ran seven miles
one lap i'm one hOur-frOm 10 TO III O'Clock
this morning. The opinion spread during
the morning that Rowell was suffering.
| He looks thinner and more haggard. The
betting at noon was against Rowell, to =; /;
Normac, 30 TO /; Sullivan, 20 to |; Fitz-
gerald, II to | Hughes, 20 to |; llaZael,
TO and Hart, - TO /.
Then Hazael began his race. and cheer
after cheer greeted him as he closed up on
ROwell. Rowcll remained in his cottage.
AT two minutes OF lIazael passed ROwell,
and the building recchoed with deafening
shouts. The excitement was intense, and
crowds poured into the garden. The |
O'Clock score was as follows: Hazael,
1927; Rowel, 392.5; Fitzgerald, 3l2.0;
Hughes, 363.2; Sullivan, 362.j; Hart,
1861; Noremac, BILL.
From that time he steadily walked away
from the champion. Al 2:35 O'Clock lia-
zael left the track to take rest. lie was
| then nine miles and three laps ahead OF
Rowell, who was also off the track. Fitz-
gerald began to squirt and put on lightning
express speed, and soon, II the disgust OF
Rowers hackers, began TO draw danger
ously close TO him. Before night he had
passed Rowcll. and at O'Clock he was
! four miles ahead Of him. Then Sullivan
and Hart picked up, and at 10 O'Clock
were ONLY two miles behind the Eng
| lish champion. Rowell was badly played,
and in one more hour only one mile
separated them. The race between Hart
and Sullivan was most exciting, and
the midnight score showed them
three miles ahead Of Rowell, and still
tied. Noremac was but fourteen miles be-
hind Rowell, while Hughes had fallen to
last place, and eleven miles behind More
mac. SO remarkable and unexpected were
the changes in the positions OF the walkers
during the day that the excitement among
the public was shown by larger attend
ance tonight than at any time since the
opening. Between and 10 O'Clock the at-
tendance was hardly less than 5000. Fol-
