New York, December 10.-Charles w.
Miller, of Chicago, last years slx-oay
champion, won the great race at Madl-
son Square Garden again THIS year,
beating the worlds record, his own, by
"a miles, and leading the next man to
him, Frank Waller, of Boston, by 22
miles.
Thirty-two men started when the pis-
toll sounded a few minutes after mid
night Monday morning last, and twelve
finished. One by one twenty OF the
men have been counted out, either by
themselves on account of their lack
of staying power, or by the physicians
in attendance Miller, however, and
Waller and Pierce, the three men VINO
have been always in the lead, have
gone steadily along in the heart-break-
ing race and of all those who finished
they were by far the freshest. Indeed,
Miller was in such good condition this
afternoon that he was able to appear
! to advantage in a wedding ceremony
which was performed by one OF the
city's aldermen, leading Miss GenevleVe
Hanson, of Chicago, to the improvlsed
altar in the Garden amid~the louo
cheering and boisterous good wishes OF
seven or ten thousand people who mad
gathered to witness the ceremony. AT
that time Miller was miles ahead OF all
the others and was thus able to enjoy
this little recreation.
Frank Waller. of Boston, finished
second in the great race tonight, COW
ering 1885 miles to the 2,OO7 Travelled
by Miller and surprising Miller's last
wears record by nearly two miles.

4 WONDERFUL BLIND ATHLETE.

When he was 10 years of age, James
Perrin Hamilton, son OF minister OF
Grand Rapids, lost his eyesight by an
accident He went to the Michigan
School for the Blind and graduated
with honrs, being especially proficient
on the piano. Then he went to Eu-
rope, paying his expenses by tuning
pianos, in which he was wonderfully
Proficient. He learned the languages
of Germany and France. After going
through AL, on college he entered the
University of Michigan, and graduated
well UP in his class.
In 1895 he married bright, intelll-
gent young woman, and the happy
couple left soon for study in Italy and
Greece. His reception there was re-
markable, especially in Greece, where
the blind are expected to beg for iiv-
ing. Nothing more than this was i'm
agined of Mr.. Hamilton, but, on the
contrary, he was worker and needed
no donations. He soon became the
subject of extensive articles in the var
ious Grecian papers, and large crowds
focked around him wherever he went,
so that soon the attention OF the no.
| bility was attracted.
| Mr.. Hamilton is not only scholar,
a lecturer and piano tuner combined,
but a musician of exceptional merit,
| having medals and testimonials from
, leading conservatives of America and
the old world. His execution on the
piano is marvelously sweet and path
