italian Runner collapses on Track, as
He Did in London.
New York, Dec. 16.-As on that
memorable occasion of his first Olym-
piad, Dorando Pietri collapsed within
sight of the goal last night, and Tom
Longboat, the Indian runner, who had
! been led by yard or more nearly all
the way, won the Marathon race at
Madison Square garden. The race was
hard fought from start to finish, and
kept the thousands Of spectators III
wild excitement.
At twenty-five miles Dorando was
leading by two yards. A moment before
Longboat had made remarkable squirt
and put himself on an even footing
with the little italian.
Dorando Immediately regained first
position, and the men were fighting 1t
out in the twenty sixth mile, with Do
rando in the lead but visibly weaker
The chances of Longboat appeared to
improve in the second and third laps.
In the fourth lap while the crowd
was crying itself hoarse, both men
slackened perceptibly. Then suddenly
Dorando staggered and dropped. Long
boat finished alone His time for the
distance of 26 miles 3S5 yards was
2:45:05 rs.
The Marathon fever drew a gather
ing of over 1900 persons to the gar
den, and many men and women were
still fighting for admission at 9 o'clock,
when the race was scheduled to be-
gin.
The distance of the race was the
same as when Dorando defeated John
~. Hayes, the English Olympiad cham
pion on the same track, 26 miles and
$50 yards, which over the ten-lap
track means 262 laps and SO yards.
The race was at Oil o'clock. Long
boat won the toss and took the pole
position. Dorando jumped into Vie lead,
land set steady pace, with the Indian
a few feet back Both were running
easily, but at good clip. The first
mile was made in STA 10, Dorando
leading by two yards.

Mrs. Patten started out by signing

"After Mrs. Patten had been Induced
Adams called me up one day." McF'ar-

him. He told me Mrs. Patten was in

had good offer for her.
He said you tell her that you have
an extra set of Hallowell's Shakespeare.
Tell her you can sell the books at
profit of $4,000 or $4,000. and that in
this way she will be able to cancel the
$4,000
''She signed the contract after I told
her that a similar set had been sold in
Boston for $4,000. When I got the
checks 1 tore up the $500 contract.
These books were to. be sold, I repre-

ing periods of financial depression such
as the country experienced in the last
year.

trial peace, intended to bring about
better understanding between employ
ers and laborers.
