So great was the interest taken in
the affair that more than 100000 spec
tators witnessed the start and finish
of the contest, many others lining the
roads traversed by the walkers, so
that the competitors went through liv-
ing hedges practically the entire dis
lance. Each competitor wore bras
sard-a sort of white sleeveless jersey
with his number on the breast Sol
diers and gendarmes on horseback
were called into use to handle the

saw to it that the prescribed condi-
tons were adhered to, and that each
contestant was unilindered or unaided
in his race
