THE RUNNERS
DIDN'T SHOW UP

Up to the last moment yesterday many
reop!c waited for the Henrlco constables
TO run that great foot race which was
to DECIDE who Is to be the nominee In
the coming primary But tho constables
came not therefore. no race occurred.
Even had 1t been tho intention OF the
candidates to treat the voters 10 an ex-
hibit!on OF the sort proposed 1t would
have been an imposstblity last night. The
rains OF the morning and afternoon had
soaked the roads, and mud covered every
thing ankle-deep. 1t Is to be hoped. there's
fore, that when dry weather comes again
the affair will be pulled OF. At least two
or three OF the constables are ready TO
so In for 1t, although one man says ne
will withdraw his candidacy before he will
so demean himself. Last night two OF
them went to West Point; and nothing
could be seen OF the other four. They
probably thought the track heavy"
The political meeting at Hardins Shop
was held. nevertheless. A number OF vot-
ers gathered and listened to speeches. from
several asplrants for Office who were pres
ent. Tho speaking continued through
about two hours.

ODDS ON JEFFRlES
ARE TWO TO ONE.
Both Men Described as Fit
for the Battle of Their
Lives.
(By Associated Prcss.)

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, August 10
Never in this city has more interest been
taken In pugllistic encounter than is
now taken regarding tomorrow nights
contest between James J. Jeffries and
James ]. Corbett. Betting, however, has
been comparatively light at the prevail
ing odds Of two to one in the champions
favor.
The attendance promises 70 exceed 1900
and so fast have the tickets been sold,
notwithstanding the big prices asked.
that additional seats have been placed in
the pavilion. When the time Is called to-
morrow there Is not likely to be an unoc
cupied seat in view of tho ring. Jefries
is at the Reliance Club In Oakland, where
he will remain until few hours before
the fight. He certainly never looked more
At In his life. His muscles stand out
hard and firm over his massive frame,
and his skin Is of that rudy hue that
bespeaks the best type of physical fit
ness.
WILL WIN IN TEN ROUNDS.
TITS just little work to keep limbered
up for the big event" said Trainer De-
laney. "Jeffries will neither spar nor
indulge In road work. He Is as fast as
he can be, his wind Is perfect, his condi-
ton is the finest It was ever In his life,
and If Corbett whips him he will be the
wonder OF the age, Jeffries himself fig
ures that he will defeat Corbett In about
ten rounds, In his opinion the mill may
go fifteen, but not more than that"
When seen to-day at his training quar-
ters in Alameda, Corbett said:
CORRETvr VERY ANXIOUS.
IT would be willing to lose one OF my
arms If can defeat Jeffrles," He added;
