Fitzgerald In The Lead-A Big Rec
ord Left Behind Him-Roweu Work
ing Hard To Catch Him.
New YORK, May 1.-Fitzgerald passed his
English antagonist at $3.50 this morning and
all day has maintained his lead and steadily
increased the distance between them. There
has boon intense excitement In the garden all
day, the people cheering yelling and throw
ing up their hats as their various favorites
scored mile after mile Indeed, the.enthusi-
asm has got to such pitch that Inspector
Thorne, who has charge of the garden, says
he is afraid nationality will break oat in the
affair and that it will be necessary to have
two hundred policemen on the track on
Saturday night to prevent any violence to
either Rowell or Fitzgerald. Noremac, who
stands fourth in the race, seems to be in fair
condition and says he is ''alI right Herty,
notwithstanding some assertions to the con-
trary, stands the severe strain we'll and his
hackers still express confidence in him. Little
Vint plods along as hopeful az ever. PAN
chot and Elson, although not considered dan
gerous men, are not overwearied. The
Indian, who promises to run twenty miles
SSS@
in the ways of the sawdust track, but as soon
as he is he will put 'the boys On their
mettle"
There was an immense jam at the garden
at D. M, fully eight thousand people, and
there were two thousand in line at the en-
trance. Madison avenue. which fronts the
main entrance, was impossible. Rowell is
trying to catch up with Fitzgerald, but the
latter holds his own.
The rests taken by each pedestrian were:
Rowen 5 hours 10 minutes, Noremac
hours 45 minutes, Vint hours 81 minutes.
Panchot 4 hours 81 minutes, Elson hours
10 minutes, Fitzgerald 2 hours 46 minutes,
Herty hours minutes.
The latest betting tonight is 5to on
Fitzgerald, 2 to 1 against Rowell, Is to 1
against Noremac, Is to 1 against Vint, rs to
against Panchot, so to l against the others.
The following shows the work of the men
during the night:
Only Vint and Noremac were on the track
at l a. M. both running well. Tonight
Vaughan, the six day pedestrian of England,
who defeated O'Leary, issued a peculiar
challenge. He has a sixteen-year-old sou
whom he will back for from 81, 900 to $4,000
for six day race against any boy aged six
teen years or under. The boy will give an
exhibition at the garden to morrow night and
will, it is claimed, make six miles ia an hour.

Fully three hundred spectators witnessed the

with two of our best men disabled, Snow and
Malley, our boys won by a score of 10 to 6

How CheaPly Thousands of Them Buy

Robert Laird Collier in the Boston Herald
Have you ever heard how thousands upon
thousands of the very poor of Paris are fed,
and how cheaPly they buy their food?
have been told something about it, but did
net quite get all the social machinery of the
matter into my head until went and saw it.
You know well enough that there is no
such thing as wastefulness in all France.
The Frsn<h people not Only have economy,
but they have more useful virtue even than
that. They have facility. They not only
can save, but they can make the most out of
what they save. Here is the vss this thing
is managed. Everything that cannot posi-
bly, be used and reused at the hotels is
serspad together, and it becomes the perqui-
site of the chiefs or certain other domes-
hes OF the establishment. Bits of meat OF
every sort, bread, butter, vegetables, pastry
and sweets are gathered together in heap
ready for the buyer. Men and women,
young and old-usually old-come round to
these hotels and restaurants and larger
houses and buy up all these leavipgs, which
they take away in great baskets swung upon
their backs. The less prosperous dealers,

take their stuff away wrapped in old news
papers; and ell this food goes to the mar
kets. Here, in the night, it is assorted !;
meat vegetables. bread, pastry put into sep.
arate piles, and then arranged in due proper
tions on plates to be sold. Many families
am teld thousands of families-lise wholly
upon these leavings, year in and year out.
The woman of the family comes to the mar
ket and buys what she wishes for the day
or can afford to buy-and takes il home with
her, either in basket or in bit of newspa-
per, as her means may enable her. In other
instances many come to the market and do
their eating there, buying their plate Of vic
tuals, and usually getting piece Of fresh
bread from an opposite stall. These plates
Of food are SOLD anywhere from two cents to
twelve gents. 1 am told that a family CON
sistinG of five persons can be fed on as little
