NEW YORK, April 29.-The pedestrians
at Madison Square Garden all took more
or less sleep after - o'clock last night,
and were all on the track again at an
early hour this morning. Fitzgerald gave
the greatest evidence of lameness, and
was lmost unable to walk. Panchet
was in. good form. Rowell kept up
his relentless dog trot, and
kept steadily Increasing his
lead. He pursued his old tactics of
hanging on the heels of somebody. He
had been off the track between midnight
and noon to-day hours and 13 minutes,
making one stay of hours and SO min
utes. Day has been taking several long
maps, and since midnight his disappear
ances have been frequent. He begins to
show signs of fatigue. At noon to-day
Herty was the third man, and is Begin
ming to be looked upon as a dangerous an
tagonist. He shows good staying quail
ties. The Indian took great deal of sleep
last night, and, in consequence. fell yery
far in the rear. Vint was off the track
from 11:23 O'Clock last night till 2:17
O'Clock this morning, and has since been
off three other times from 10 to 80 minutes

the time. He carries his head much bet
ter than last night. The withdrawal of
Sullivan from the contest was announced
at 5:35 O'Clock this morning. Campano
slept all night. Elson is still doing good
work, and his friends say that he will
show up well later in the contest. The
attendance at the Garden this morning
was fair. The afternoon passed
without any incident worthy of note.
Nitaw has been off the track since 1906
O'Clock this afternoon, with only 110 miles
to his credit. Thompson resembles a
wreck, but displays extraordinary pluck
and good nature. Herty, ROwell, More
mac, Fitzgerald and Elson stayed in a
bunch for a couple of hours. Herty set
the pace most of the time. Panchot,
Burrell and Vint kept together on the
track. Red is the predOminating color
of the pedestrians. This afternoon Row

selling at $50 against 800 for the field.

man who can be named. Day sells in the
field again, and Fitzgerald stands at !

the track since O'Clock last evening.
NEW YORK, April 20, II 80 p. M.-Dur-
ing the afternoon and evening the atten-

after an absence of nearly twelve hours
and announced that he was out of the
race, and would return to his home in
Bridgeport at once. All the pedestrians
were on the track in the evening,
and ROwell was frequently applauded.
Both he and Vint received several baskets
of flowers from their friends. Day was
off the track for three hours during the
early part of the evening and appeared at
1910 O'Clock. He seemed to be discour-
aged at his falling off since Yesterday.
Rowen clung to Fitzgerald, dogging his
footsteps untiringly during the whole
evening to the great annoyance and wrath
of the ex-Alderman's friends.
