 NOTES FROM THE DERBY WALK.
 Guerrero and Heggleman covered miles and lap each in the first hour. This is considered ahead by several laps of any New York record.
 "Old Sport" of course is the center of attraction from the audience, and still wears his well-known gait. After his first lap an admirer handed him dollar, which cheered him so that he carried it around for another lap and then gave it to Herty for keeping.
 Ellson, the oldest man of the lot, plods around exceedingly indifferent of all the surroundings. He took second place in the last contest here.
 Peter Golden, the well-known runner made 25 miles in the last contest at Derby and was ruled out because he entered under an assumed name, is also graceful walker and looks as though he would ''get there" when the time comes.
