than Lightbody's record made in -. Louis.
There vas little expectation that the 400
metre event would result a. II did. before
the race started the general expectation
was that il would he a grand contest be-
tween Hillmau Of the United States and
Halswell Of England. The first part of the
race gave color to that theory. Hillman
swept ont in the lead, running grandly, and
led the field nv two wards a. the 400 metre
mark. Here he began 10 waver and in less
than five strides broke down and began to
wabble. His weakened knee had played
him false. \ gruan swept through the
watching Americans. for Hillman was the
chief reliance. Halswell, full of running.
took the place of Hi!lman. who had retired.
Right hack Of him was the lean Pilgrim Of
the New York A. C.,
without apparent effort he swung clean
past the astonished Halswell and easily
sta we'd of all efforts to hold him. He won
by two yards from the English soldier.
Nigel Barker, the Austria liam. was third,
well up. The time was our seconds be-

The third American victory was that
earned by George Bonhag in the 1900
metre walk. Where he came in to be a
walker ia not known, as he never had
practised the art before coming here. He
stepped out in good style and won by a
good margin.
The injury to Prinstein's ankle In the
running broad jump on Thursday put him
out Of the three standing jumps thisa after
noon. Peter O'Connor won, with p, Leahy
second: Connolly Of the United States
was third. O'Connor, although the British
flag was hoisted when he won. wa lked
about the stadium waving his Irish fag to
show the assembla ge where he hailed from,
Two Americans, Friend and Leavitt,
qualified for to-day's final in the ITO metre
hurdles.
The fact that Mitchel's injury prevented
him from Ia king part in the sports broke
up the American tug of war team, and the
took no part In the ting. The Germans
won, with the Greeks second and the Swedes
third.
O'Connor formally protested to-day
against Prinstein being awarded the broad
jump, alleging, first, that Prinstein jumped
out OF his turn to gain the advantage OF
an unspoiled track; second, that Matthew
P. Halpin Of the New York A. C. assumed
the duties of judge and measurer COM
bined in the temporary, absence Of the
official measurer, and, third, that while
thus acting officially Halpin declared that
two of O'Connor's jumps were foul. One
of the foul Jumps exceeded that on which
Prinstein was declared the winner. The
protest was not allowed The matter has
occasioned unpleasant feeling.
Tomorrow will witness the event which,
for the Greeks, ecliPses all others. This is
the Marathon race, II is expected that
least doubled by excursionists There
probably will be seventy starters. The
Greeks largely fancy kantzias of the
PirBls Athletic Club. The lack of acclimat-
ization and unfamiiarity with the course
are expected to exclude any foreigner.

LONDON, May THE correspondent of
the Daily Mol at Athens says the Ameri-
cans rely upon Spring to win the Marathon
race, They say he has covered the course
in 2 hours 40 minutes. which il fifteen
minutes less than the time Of Loues, the
Greek who won the event in 1898. This
claim, however. is generally regarded as a
bluff. Nevertheless LoueS's achievement
Is doubted, many persons alleging that he
got 4 lift.
