 100 Miles and Retfres. Another large attendance of spectators witnessed the weary peds on their sec- ond days tramp last evening and fre- quent outbursts of applause greeted the spurts of the walkers. Smith. the cow boy, and Hegelman delighted the audience for a few laps with a square heel-and-toe match, Smith showing up to the best advantage. Hine, who in the afternoon had made a run of miles without a break, slowly but surely over- took Adams and at midnight had placed difference between the two of four miles.
 Adams is one of the freshest looking men on the track and with little urging will make place at the end of the week.
 Hegelman continued up to midnight in his old style of squirting and is piling mile after mile to his credit. At mid night he had placed a distance of two miles between himself and Davis and eight miles between himself and Con- nors, both of whom seem to be his hard est competitors.
 Davis looks ready to drop, but still his nerve and pluck keeps him on the track and up amongst the leaders. It Davis as winner of place will hardly get there. Connors, the pleasant faced boy, is still pounding away and is good for either first or second place. He is a wonder of endurance and watches every one who tries to increase his lead over him as a hawk would its prey. Nolan will scarcely be finisher although he Is a strong runner. The two old men of the track are still there, but Taylor is fast going to pieces. The Hartford Unknown completed his 100 miles at o'clock, and immediately left the track for good. It appears that the young man Is we'll connected in Hart ford or vicinity and entered the race on a bet of$10O that he could not mak> 100 miles in days. His trainer claims that hls name Is Allen, but it is presumed that this Is an assumed name He was good spurter but complained of sore feet, but persons competent to know say that he did not run like man with tired feet. At midnight the score was as fol- lows: Davis, 142 miles, ? laps; Hegel- man, IA miles, II laps; Taylor; Ill miles, laps 1; Smith, IA miles, lap :; Connors 136 miles, , laps Nolan, 126 miles, laps Elson. 117 miles, 3 laps :: Horan, 131 miles. : laps Adams, 124 miles, , laps; Hine, 12S miles, laps.
 The third day of the race opened with every man who was on the night pre- vious at the hour of quitting. Each racer looked fresher and more inclined to run, and the probabilities are that a big days work will be put up.
 Connors is the freshest looking man on the track and is pushing the leaders hard.
 Hine is complaining of very sore feet and it is doubtful if he remains on the whole day.
 Old Man Taylor is running a great race and says he will put up great race to-day.
 Cartwright will run an exhibition race at s o'clock tonight.
 A bet of S10O has been laid that Hegel- man takes either first or second place, and as things look now the bet is a good one on Hegelman.
 Adams seems to be the freshest man now on the track. but yet he don't seem to increase his lead on the tail-enders. He has the strength, nerve and pluck and needs only good club to make him do some better work.
 The best record for a aseventy-two hours race, twelve hours day, was made by Rowel in England, 430 miles, Cart wright being second with a record of 409. In Boston one yearago Cartwright could have beaten the best record, hay ing score of 363 miles on Saturday morning. Through the poor managing of the race he did not exceed the record Most of the runners on the track now will enter the big six days go-as-you- please to be given in Madison Square Garden the first week in May.
