meet any man who thinks he can run
a hundred yards in swift time.
The most notable fact in connection
with the betting is that Morrison, who
was the heaviest winner, and who is
man accredited with large wealth,
had not bet since 1879, when he backed
one "Micky" O'Toole, and was sold out
in the most Dalpable manner.
Morrison went to the track because
he was friend of the family to which
young Fadgen belongs, and without the
least intention of betting. But the
spectacle of Worcester men floating
greenbacks in 500 punches, was toe
much for him. Before he knew it, he
was betting for the honor of the town
Patriotism in his case was rewarded
with large punches of Worcester money
The amount is figured at 500, instead
of 5000, which The Spy gave as the
figure this morning.
One or two runners are said to be
already in communication with Edward
c. Fadgen, the runners brother, rela-
tive to another race. Fadgen is ready
