FARCECOMEDY
FOOTRACE
IN SNOW
BellevilIe Runners Use
Trolley and Sleigh Till
Near the Finish.

Joh Eyre, George Byron, jr.. and Will
lam Norton, of Belleville, participated in
an alleged running race yesterday after
noon in Washington avenue. that town,
Which terminated in a farcical manner. The
match had been arranged a week age
when a snow fall was not taken into con-
sideration. The contestants were anxiou'
TO postpone the race, but were forced into
1t by friends who had gathered at Wash
lnston avenue and William street to wit
ress the event. The match was for glory,
as the three most interested had had an
argument as to their abilities in the run
ming line.
John j. Waters, who was starter, sent
the men away at 8 o'clock toward the
Big Tree, which was the turning point
Harry Smith and Joseph Mccarthy, who
had been selected as timekeepers, stood
patiently, watches In their hands, until
t:@ o'clock, and then when there was
no sign of the runners returning, gave up
n disgust.
In the meantime a purse of thirty-ive
cents had been made up and starter
Waters had labored with pencil and paper
IN a fitting presentation speech. Ills labor
went for nothing, however. Forty-hve
minutes after the runners started n cutter
hove into view around the bend at Acad-
envy street and hitched on behind was
Eyre. This was seen by all at the finish
ing point. When Eyre thought he was in
sight Of the crowd he released himself from
the sleigh and started off on a dog trot
for the finish.
He had hardly started when a south
bound trolley car was stopped at Academy
street and Byron and Norton, the otner
runners gracefully alighted. hey
started in chase of Eyre, unaware that the
deception was noted by the crowd at
William street. The remainder Of the run
developed into a real race with the result
that there was a hair-raising finish be-
tween Eyre and Byron, the former winning
ut by abou two feet.
The contestants protested for a time tn 1t
the race was fair. but when they saw the
trick had been seen they agreed to run 1t
over when the weather proys favorable.
III the meantime the thirty-five-cent purse
will prove an incentive in the next eVent.
