ALL EYES ON
THE RACE
Candidates for Constabulary
Honors May Sprint Tonight
RAN FROM SEVEN PINES
One Candidate Said TO Have Run Nine
Miles for Practice-An Elderly Man
Declares He'll Withdraw Be-
fore He'll Run.

Mingled feelings OF Incredibly ana
amusement arise in connection with the
proposition that the six aspirants for tho
once OF constable In Fairfield District
Henrico county. engage In a foot raca
tonight, and permit the result to indicate
to the public how they shall vote In the
coming primary.
Not at any time has It been understood
that the contest, II held at all, which II
doubtful, will decide the candidacy OF tho
Elk men. They are merely to sprint for
a half mile, and the voters. or a number
OF them. promise their support to tho
one who wins. The others will be candi-
dates, nevertheless, and will run In the
election whittier they run in the race or
not.
Many people take the suggestion OF tho
foot race as huge Joke, and do not be-
iieve that the exhibition will ever take
place Everybody is interested In tho
thing: however. and there arc prospects
OF = big crowd at Hardin's Shop tonight.
Numbers OF persons will go out not only
TO hear the speaking, but to watch tho
dust fly.
BONA FlDE AFFAIR.
On the other hand. there are persons
who state most crpha tical!y that the race
is going to be. and they are as sober
as Judge about It. According TO them.
It viii he bona nde affair. and they
mean to give their votes to the man who
wins and TO elect him. An apparently
small and absurd thing, such MS this.
they say, has been known before TO turn
the tide where there were a number OF
candidates, and when many OF the voters
would as lief cast their ballots for ono
az for another.
Among the candidates the proposition
4. received In different ways. One OF them
said natly yesterday that he wouldn't
run In the race. but would do some bus
ines. when the primary was held. T wo
others have been heard to say that they
are willing to run. and Will do so, while
