FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE.
Some of the Madison Square Tramps Al
 ready Out of the Race.

NEW YORK, Nov. 27-All day yesterday a goodly crowd watched the plodding ''peds" measure their sawdust laps at the Madison Square garden. At no time since the com mencement of the match have there been less than l, ,00O spectators on hand to encour- age the men, and usually several times that number have leaned over the bed slat fences and howled their approbation of their favor ite trampers. The weary peds began to fall by the wayside within six hours after the start. lilly, the lantern jawed ecclesiastic from Quakerville, was the first to succumb. He soon had company in the person of Graetzna, the Australian kangaroo.
 Several of the contestants who persist in hoofng the track most patiently have shown distress at various times. Shortly before daylight yesterday Littlewood was seized with nausea, but did not leave the circuit. Golden's stomach got little refractory not long afterward and he put himself ill his trainers hands for while. Hughes limped painfully all day, but braced up somewhat when the garden began to fill up toward night.
 ''Old Sport" Campana is badly ill need of a shave and looks rather more cadaverous than usual He is in high spirits, however; he wears an American flag around his waist, an old pair of white zouave gaiters and bouton- naire of greasy silver certificates.
 Littlewood continues to lay off the miles as if he enjoyed the work. He was closely pressed by Moore, Jimmy Albert's pride, all day. Dan Herty is considered sure of a place among the first five at the finish. He sticks gallantly to his work, does not over exert himself, and seems to be saving his strength for a grand spurt near the end of the week A telegram was received from John L. Sullivan and his seventy-fve pound bull dog early in the morning, saying that they would be on hand Wednesday to look out for Herty's interests.
 Frank Hart, the other toiler from the town of beans and culture, is a big favorite with the crowd, and has been the recipient of numerous floral offerings. At o'clock he created some enthusiasm by cantering gayly around the oval with a huge horseshoe of roses in his hands. Everybody comedies the doughty son of Ham substantial share of the gate money.

GEN. HARRIsoN's VISITORS.

Ex-Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, Was
 the Most Prominent One Yesterday.
 INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 27-Ex-United States Senator William J. Sewell arrived in Indian apolis, travelling In a special car with Mrs. Sewell and his daughter He was west on business, and did not think it would be proper to pass through without stopping to pay his respects to the president-elect He left his car at the station and took up quar- ters at the Bates house for the night. Soon after arriving he went out on Delaware street and called on Gen. Harrison.
 He returned in a short time, and his wife and daughter went back to take dinner with the preSident-elect.
 He said that there was no politics ill his visit. He is one of the board of trustees of the Soldiers Home at Leavenworth, Kan. and has been there on business connected with the institution. He left New York two weeks ago in his car with his family, and has been travelling ever since. He is now on his way home.
 He was asked what he thought of the pros poets of New Jersey In the cabinet. He smiled dolorously, as though remembering the figure his state cut in the returns, and said: Ut would be nonsense to talk of cabi- net places for New Jersey or any other state. The selection of a cabinet is, of all things, the private business of the president, and Gen. Harrison is just the kind of man who will attend to that business himself, without any volunteer assistance All this specula- tion as 70 who will be ill the cabinet is labor wasted, except as it may afford some amuse- ment for Gen. Harrison"
 Gen. Sewell spoke particularly of Gen. Harrison's ability to hold his tongue, as con- trasted with the singular success with which he talked before election. Where will you find another man in the country" said Gen. | Sewel, 'who could talk so much on so many different subjects and not make a mistaken"
