Waterbury evening Democrat., 1889-03-28
WEARY BUT DETERMINED.

An Immense Attendance at the Walking Match Last Night. i The rink was fairly packed last night
 to witness the contest of the racers as
 they spurted around the track. It was
 the best audience and the most enthu-
 siastic of the week.
 1 Hine, who the day previous had made
 such splendid record. retired from the
 track at 5 o'clock with score of 145
 miles and II laps.
 | Hegelman was still playing his old game of logging Davis with an occa- sional spurt to increase his lead a lap or
 two. If no unforeseen accident happens | Hegelman will be in for first place. 1 Davis is wonder and 1t is a matter of
 surprise he is still on the track. He shuffies along with the same old gait and
 his appearance bespeaks a man who is
 completely broken up, yet he Is there to l stay as he says himself and his clear grit | will undoubtedly win him place in the l race.
 Old Man Taylor is fighting hard for a
 place and yesterday made his 60 miles
 lacking few laps. He considers this a l Jays work and says he will make the | same distance every day for the next ] three days. It is reported that if he wins place in this race he will retire from
 the track for good.
 | SL1ltu lIlc COSDOS, DUH StlChS 1 must be given credit for the work he is l ioing under the circumstances. He still l has that old kidney trouble and ought to retire but his dogged pluck still keeps aim there.
 Connors is fighting hard for position l amongst the leaders and the end of the 1 week will probably see him in money
 place. Nolan plods along i'll his accus-
 comed style and only is an interested party when a mile is called out to his :redit. Bison will probably remain in TOT the race, but it is hardly possible for | aim to take place. Horan is still hold 1 for the man who is looking for fourth place. The boy is not 20 years old and IS showing a wonderful amount of en- Iurance. Adams is the same jolly good latured chap as usual. The little tip given him in the DEMOCRAT yesterday seems to have put new life into him and ne is now working hard, and will as he says himself get there at the end of the l week. At o'clock George Cartwright, who was compelled to retire the first day of the race because of an injury to his leg, came on the track for two hours exhibition race. He plunged at once in-
 to his work while the music struck up Hail to the Chief" He made his first mile in 4a minutes and his five miles in 2Sa minutes. Later on ill the week Cartwright will run a race against time. William Davey of Ansonia ran Smile race in 19 minutes. He issued chal- lenge to any man in Connecticut for Ghree miles for any amount of money. The challenge was at once accepted by Nolan, who will run him after this race is completed.
 The score at midnight was as follows : Davis, PCT miles, laps; Hegelman, 21O
 miles, laps; Taylor, I'll miles, laps;
 Smith, 164 miles, 12 laps; Connors, 196
 miles, laps; Nolan, 172 miles, 20 laps; Elson, 169 miles. 10 laps; Horan, lS9 1 miles, 10 laps; Adams, 1S3 miles, ? laps; Hine, 145 miles, II laps.
 All the men were tn the track to-day. Connors stomach is troubling him, but | e
 will probably work himself into condi-
 ton. Taylor is himself again and this
 morning sent for an apple pie and a sandwich.
 As to Cartwright's 50 mile record
 which was announced last night by the
 referee, the facts are as follows: On February 21, 1887, in the Aquarium in London in a race similar to the one now
 going on in the rink, he ran the first fifty miles of the race in hours. 55 min
 utes and 4 seconds, a record which has
 never been beaten by any man in the
 world.
