this in his marvellous race run in the
colors of the MA. c.. last May. when
he defeated Fowler. the crack Eastern

expected 10 stagger in, the spectators
saw a trained athlete with faculties m

a man who had run a quarter mile.
''F'orshaw's time for the race was
excellent, considering the condition of
the road and when it is realized that
he laboTed along twenty-nine miles of
