TRACK SCENES TO-DAY.
Miss Killbury No. 81, who was looked upon
yesterday as likely winner, was forced to
leave the track early last evening with only
2615 miles to her credit, on account Of illness,
was on the track again to-day, contrary to the
orders OF her physician. She is by far the fastest
walker on the track and would make fine
record if her health were better. She started
in to-day to make up for lost time, and wake
as fast as others ran and walked. Her first
mile was made in minutes IL seconds. 1t
is question, however, if she will be able to
hold out
Miss Evans, who made over fifty miles yes
terday, showed no effect to-day of her hard
work. She was up at o'clock this morning
and took walk to timber up. She runs like a
deer, and although her pace to-day was not as
last as yesterday, she ran a great deal, and
made the first mile in 9 minutes.
She wears buckskin moccasins covered by
heavy stockings, and her feet are as yet in ex-
cellent condition. She announced to-day that
she would make her hundredth mile before
midnight. She is dark horse in the race, and
the pace that she cut out and has kept up is quite
remarkable.
Tobias (No. g. the winner of the Baltimore
match, Is sure to get place, as she is splendid
walker and has plenty of endurance. She sell
dom breaks into run, but swings along at a
steady gait which tells as the hours slip by.
Her first mile to-day was in fourteen minutes.
She is not such rapid walker as Killbury, but
her stride Is not so wearing. Tobias said to-
day that she felt in good condition, but 'her
outside leg hurt little Bit
AVERY CoMELY LITTLE CONTESTANT
and one who promises to astonish some people
before the close of the race. despite weak
ankle, is Miss Jeffries, No. l. She had less than
30 miles marked on her score dial at noon to-day.
This was owing to stomach trouble yesterday
but she felt better to-day, and said that if she
could hold out until tomorrow night she would
let out a few links and rapidly enlarge her
thus far, but she is a sprinter and intends to
start after the speedy Pittsburg maiden, Miss
Evans. if she can get into condition.
LADY MACBETH,
(No. 81, to all appearances weighs just as
much as she did at noon yesterday, and
has just much trouble with her rheu-
matism. She tried to kill the latter
by running to-day once or twice, but
about 10 yards suficed to make the walk
more advisable. She is slayer and is bound
to get place.
One or two Of the others limped little and
showed that their work was no fun for them.
