of the bones were entirely decayed, having re-
turned to dust, but some of them were perfectly
preserved. The best of them were picked up
and given to Dr. W. e. Drscol who critically
examined them. He says they are undoubtedly

senting three generations of this race-the aged,

from noon until midnight of each day for six
days, and the walkers went as they pleased
while the match was open. At the start there
were six Observation-Disclosures, Carpenter,
Putt Sullivan, Grimm and White. They came
in from Eaton in the order named, Ashinger half
IN hour ahead of the foremost of the others, and
they maintained this order to the close of the
first day. The close of the first day found
Sullivan, Grimm and White in such bad condi-
ton that Sullivan and White dropped out of the
race entirely, and Grimm cut but poor figure
in it thereafter Grimm, however, entered with
the best record of any man in the company, and
the sports" had all put their money on him.
Later they, in measure retrieved their for
tunes by betting on Putt, who took the lead
from Ashinger On the second day and held it to
close At the close, on Thursday night, Ashinger
was behind Putt seventeen miles, but on Friday
ne did splendid service and was within about
sight miles of Putt.
About o'clock last evening Ashinger fell sick
and lost two hours. This placed Putt so far
ahead that there was no possibility of catching

walkers who held out to the end is as follows:
