cused on the gate, almost directly op- posite the royal stand, where the con testants were to enter. Finally after what seemed to be an intolerable sus- pense a runner staggered down the incline leading to the track. He was clothed In white shirt and red knee trousers. He stood for moment as though dazed and then turned to the left, although a red cord had been drawn about the track in the opposite direction for the runners to follow. It was evident at once to every one that the man was practically delir- ious. A squad of officials ran out and expostulated with him. but apparent ly he was afraid that they were try ing to deceive him and fought to go on to the left. At length he turned about and started on the right path along the track. Then followed an exhibition never to be forgotten by anyone who witnessed 1t.
 The colors and the number told the spectators that 1t was Dorando and his name was on every lip. He stag gered along the cinder path like a man in dream, his gait being neith-

They rose in their seats and saw only this small man staggering onward with his head so bent forward that his chin rested on his chest. They knew nothing of him as he had not been mentioned among the probable winners, but they real ized that his efforts must have been a desperate one to bring him thus right to the threshold of victory, Doran- do staggered on toward the turn and dropped to the ground. Immediate ly crowd of track officials and fol- lowers swarmed about him. It was evident that the man, with undaunted courage, had run to the very limit of his endurance.
 None expected to see him rise, for, haggard and drawn, he had fallen like good soldier when the last degree of vitality was exhausted
 According to the rules of the race, physicians should have taken him away, but the track officials, lost in their sympathy for such a man and for such an effort, lifted him to his feet and with their hands at his back gave him support. Four times Dorando fell in the three hundred yards that separated him from the finish and three times after the doctors had poured stimulants down his throat he was dragged to his feet. Finally he was pushed across the line, one man being at his back and another holding him by the arms
 His part in the race was practically ended when he entered the stadium, for had he not received assistance hc could not have finished. While this pathetic scene was being enacted. the American Hayes entered the stadium comparatively fresh and trotted around it. He came in less than a min ute behind Dorando, but in the ex- citement of the moment failed 10 get even from his own countrymen, the reception he deserved.

 Hayes naturally was very tired to- night but he gave no signs of any ill effects from his long run. He ran a careful race He was satisfied to go along slowly until he had covered 19 miles, and then he pushed into third place, keeping behind Heiferon until his opportunity came on the long level at Wormwood scrubbs, after a hard climb up hill.
 When Dorando, Hefferon and Hayes reached the Scrubbs, Dorando was 1-2 minutes ahead of Hefferon, who in turn was 1-2 minutes ahead of Hayes. Both the Italian and the South Afri- can were limping badly, while Hayes was comparatively fresh and still strong. When the American reached the level of the scrubbs, through which the runners made their way along COW paths, he could see the two
