o Trine and g Cameron arranged for
Monday afternoon didn't terminate. The
men tosd the mark for two hours In the
chill and rain but, according to all the
reports Cameron was afraid to run and
would not cross the mark with Trine,
though he was given every opportunity
and eoaxed and humored. There Is little
doubt that such was his intention. The
judge declared the race off, aud the dis.
gusted crowd hissed and "ratted" tie Cor
wallis sprint as he left the ground. Those
who claim to be on the inside OF foot races
declare that Cameron Is not on the run
without he can get seine advantage or the
race is a chuck one like that with Dobbins.
A start at the crack Of revolver is the
emily correct way to begin race. Such
haseoes Only tend to degrade a contest
which properly conjuctedis full Of Interest
toa great many.
