o-aS-you-pleaSe pedestrian race. All
records, if records there had previously
been. were smashed. To make this
point plain, it should be related that all
previous races of this kind have been
rejected by such papers as the New
York Clipper. This is because of
possible question concerning the judges
count and the distance of the track.
Nora Evans, in her celebrated walk in
Washington, claims to have covered 263
miles, and. be this as IL may, 1t cannot
possibly stand as record now. Emily
Stevens is entitled to the worlds cham
pOnship. She has done phenomenal
work through the week, running twelve
hours day with the Sturdiness of a
trained and game athlete. The palm
was held by Aggie Harvey i'll the earlier
hours of the struggle, but Aggie was at
tackled by AN eXcruciating toothache the
to retire from the track at 8
o'clock and have the refractory
tooth extracted 1t was then
plucky little Stevens forged ahead and
opened up a gap that could not be re-
gained. Aggie Harvey Is the tleeteSt of
any of the. competitors, it is asserted by
expert Judges, but this claim is disputed
by little Stevens and her enthusiastic
admirers. She runs like a deer when
she pleaSeS to, but she appears to prefer
a brisk heel and toe walk to fast run
ming And heel and toe is more wear
ing than frequent changes from one
to the other. This is appreciated by
older pedestrians. but Nine. Tobias
sticks persistently to the heel and toe
style. and she has given wonderful
performance considering the fact that
she has done less squirting than any of
the other participants.
But the phenomenon has been little

follow up her career of the past week.

exactly, but it is double that of the
others.
The rink was literally packed last
evening, and the girls went on their
weary journey for dollars and glory
with a great deal more yigOr and fresh
ness than one would think possible ON
the sixth day of race. Aggie Harvey
was looking much better than on The
previous day, and she gave exhibitions
of speed at different times that
puzzled the audience. One of
the conditions of the race
was that each girl must score
at least 225 miles. Aggie passed the
mark in the evening amid tremendous
applause. She was given flag by
MessIer, and with the speed of gazelle
she reeled off lap after lap. showing ITO
particular fatigue. Directly after this
event Emily Stevens made her 263
miles, said to be the record of Nora
Evans in W ashington. This was sig
nal for another ovation. The pretty little
athlete darted around the ring with
such fleet steps that it was
apparent that she was no where near
her limit, and right here it should be
stated that she could have placed
good many more miles to her credit dur
cared to. She left the SaWduSt circle
every night as clipper as though she
had been participating in the amenities
of social party rather than pedeS-
trlan match.
A feature event occurred at O'Clock
yesterday afternoon. There was two
mile gO-aS-yOu-p please race between two
local letter carriers for silver medal.
Tie principals were George +. Drake
and ID. s. Printing. Printing won the
medal, covering the first mile in $50
and the two miles in 1910. At the
same hour Hoagland gave a heel-and-
toe exhibition. He covered mile in
1872. This evening Hoagland will
walk ten miles against five picked men
vino are tO go in the mems race at
the rink beginning tomorrow. Hoag-
land challenged and the five have ac-
cepted. They are to walk heel aud toe,
and each OF the FIVE will cover two
miles, fresh man starting. i'll other
words, at the end of every second mile,
while HOagiand will walk the ten
miles. Should he win against such pc
deStrianS as Hart, MeSsier ct al, il will
prove that he is the greatest walker III
the world
