ITALIAN Wins
MARATHON RACE
Hayes. of the United States,
Second, and Two Ameri-
cans Get Places
SOUTH AFRICA WAS THIRD

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LONDON, July 24.-The great Mara
thon race, the classic" of every
Olympic meet, was started from the
east terrace Of Windsor Castle this af-
ternoon, the Grown Prince of Sweden
giving the word that sent the runners
on their 26-mile grind Dorando. an
Italian, won the race. The English,
American and South African runners
were well punched at the start, but
within a few minutes Longboat, the
Canadian Indian, who was declared eli
gible at the last minute, forged to the
front and began setting a gruelling
pace. There were seven Americans in
the race. The runners were grouped
in four rows. In the first row were A.
r. Welton. Chicago A. c.: Sidney II.
Hatch, Chicago; NJ. J. Ryan. Irish
American team, and T. p. Morrissey,
of the Mercury A. c., Of Yonkers.

Theer were no Americans i'm rows
two or four, but in row three John +.
Hayes, of the Irish American team;
Lewis Tewinina, a Carlisle Indian, and
Joseph Fourshaw. of the Missouri A.
C., were stationed. Hatch, winner of
several Marathon events I'm his own
country, including the Chicago and
Boston runs, was looked on at the
start as the only American who had
any show of finishing first. England
had four strong runners, but Duncan
carried the strongest hopes of the Brit
ishers. Savnberg and Landovist,
Swedish runners, wore the dangerous
sign.
Contrary to expectations, Longboat
was not named among the favorites for
the race, and there was considerable
betting that Simpson, another Cana
dian runner, would beat the Indian.
Students Of the race figured IL out
that the winner would do the course
In two hours and thirty minutes.
Around Windsor place the people
were jammed and there was a tremen-
dous cheer when the stare was made.
King Edward and other members Of
the royal family were out early to
watch the proceedings. the King evinc-
ing considerable interest in the big
levent.
The weather was fair, but unusually
warm. The course was in fine condi-
ltion, a large force OF /men having
guarded it all night It was watered
to laythe dust Near Pinner there was
a stretch of loose road, but otherwise
the conditions were ideal for a fast
race.
King Edward sent a carload of leafy
oak branches fro mthe Windsor forces
to take the place of laurel wreaths
for the victors.
The Official result of the race, 20
miles, is as follows:

CASE INVOLVED

Lengthy Arguments in City
Court Over Area and

An interesting case involving technical
points in the Interpretation of the city

tion OF area-ways. passage-ways cellar
ways and the like was threshcd out in tbs
City Court this morning before Judge
Cochran. The court was not satisfied to
grant a decision TIL briefs had b- N sub
mitted covering all points OF tho argu-
ments and the matter will be again
brought into court tomorrow morning.
The case was that OF Leah Janney and
Annie Mayer. charged with violating the
city ordinance in causing to be built In
a passage at the building now being erect
ed at No. S3i Market street. known as
the Janney building. contrivance to be
used In carrying goods to and from
the collar Attorney r.. G. Harman repre-
sonted the defendants and claimed that
the matter was not a violation Of tho
ordinance on the grounds principally that
the construction did not come under the
city law defining an area-way or passage-
way
Mr. Harman contonded that the way
was covered opening and that tho
contrivance being built into the sidewalk
there was lift protected by lid when
down and by an arrangement Of posts
when up. so that there could be no pos
slbie danger TO passersby from any source
whatever. lie said that according to the
ordinance defining an area-way or pas
sage-way the place under discussion could
not possibly be called either. The ordin-
ance describes an area-way as an un-
covered passage 70 some building for tho
purpose OF admitting light or Of being
used for entrance and with a railing a
suitable height and a gate for the pro-
lection OF passersby.
Mr.. Harman had expert testimony
given to the court. the witness being
former Building Inspector Cassidy.
Contractor William Nj. Connolly,
Architect Edward c. Rice and Archl-
tect William ID. Brinckle. all OF whom
testified that the place IN question
could not be called an area-wny ac-
ocrding to the common definition OF
the word. They described the arrange-
ment being built as a sidewalk lift.
The points dwelt upon nv Attorney
Hartman was principally OF the dedni-
ton of area-ways and passage-ways
as given by the city ordinance and Il
/ was his object to show the court that
the place under discussion was neither
one or the other.

was Street Commissioner Frank W.

fore giving a decision he would like
