ALBERT THE PLUCKY HAN,
Who SurpasssS Fzgsralds Work By Over
Ten Miles.

New YORK, February 11.-Fully 1000
people were in Madison Square Garden st
an early hour this morning. Albert came
ON the track at Alb, after rest of over
hours. He had II hours and AZ minutes
to make the So miles necessary to tie the
record. Fitzgerald's 610 miles record was
made in l43 hours, so the race as to the
record would end at 10 o'clock tonight.
Albert was in by far the bost condition of
any of the walkers. Herty passed the 525
mile point at 3 q. m. He seemed deter
mined to get second money. Guerrero
kept up his steady pace though he looked
tired.
Golden came on the track at 4:30, after a
short rest. He, Dillon and Moore received
several presents of money from their friends
during the early morning hours. Thshalf
of the gate receipts, which is to 90 to the
walkers, is variously estimated at from
Sl3, 600 to SIS, 600. At the latter figure
should Albert win he would receive as his
45 per cent, Sc, $50, aud the 81, 900 added
should he break the record. The second
man. who is likely TO be either Herty or
Guerrero, with odds heavily in Herty's
favor, will probably get abost s., $50 and
the third something near 5000,

At o'clock Albert WAS go yards ahead
of the record made by Fitzgerald, May 81,
1874 and was travelling about five miles an
hour at lope. He looks fresh and IN good
shane. He still had fraction over 2St
miles 10 10 in order TO break the record for
lI2 hours, and niue hours in which TO
make that distance. Guerrero, by loahng
ON the track, ruined his chances OF becom-
ing record breaker.
Mr.. Bailey, OF Blrnum x Bailey, the
lessees of the building. says that the track
il short. When Buffalo Bill had his Wild
West show in the garden the floor was
taken up, and when it was re!aid the track
was shorted about yard, so that 600
miles by the track is in reality short of that
figure by six Or seven laps.
At3p. IN. the score stood: Albert, 59l ;
Herty, 563; Guerrero, SIS; Hart, 526;
Golden, 5l6; Moore, so; Strokel, SOB;

TAYLOR, 339; Thly, sos; Stout, 100.
Guerrero shared the honors oil tie even
ing with Albert. A friend Of his presented
him with a gold watch, and later another
admirpr gave him new beaver oyeTcnat.
Hart, to-. Jared well, receiving 4 suit OF
clothes at ; .. III. Albart's pleasure rs he
broke the record was somewhat marred by
a brewing company serving him with an
attachment for Sl25. The men who served
the attachment tried to take him from the
track little before = o'clock, but were
persusded to let him remain. At S:2s
Strokcl made his 525th mile, emitting him
10 a share of the gate receipts. AT S:4e
Albert, in completing his 6l6th mile,
ran around the track, carrying two
American flags, while the band played
national airs. He laid down the flags,
which were picked up in turn by Herty,
Golden and Guerroro, and carried around
midst the widest enthusiasm. At S:5a
little Noremac established his claim TO
part Of the gate receipts by covering 525
miles.
Guerroro left the track at S:53 with
score of 564 miles. Hart stopI ed for good
at 9:1O with 546s miles to his credit.
