Never in the history of an athletic
event, either in this country or in
those of the teams competing here,
has anything been witnessed equalling
the spectacle at the finish of the Mar
athon race. A short time before
Dorando, the leader on entering the
stadium, appeared within sight of the
structure his approach vas announced
by the megaphone men to the crowd.
Italy, it was announced, had passed
South Africa, and was coming in to
the finish ahead.
For five minutes there was a tense
hush within the stadium. II vas 5.26
o'clock p. m. when Dorardo finally
appeared at the entrance. He was a
pitiful wreck, with drawn face and
tottering legs. He was hardly able
TO support himself and friends fol-
lowing closely behind stood ready to
prevent his falling. One hundred
and fifty yards from the finish he fell
In a heap, but his friends lifted him
up and he started on again, only to
fall one more, a few yards beyond.
Brandy and other stimulants were
administered to Dorando, and when
1t was seen that he was in such con-
dition that the few remaining yards
were beyond his ability to gain he
was swallowed up in a throng of ex-
cited officers and attendants and the
whole group moved over the finish
line with Hayes still running strongly
than 100 yards away.
After Hayes came Hefferon, tired
but in fairly good shape, with For
shaw and then Welton in the order
named. Immediately a great uproar
arose, followed by the protest of the
Americans at the name in which
Dorando finished. There was a hur-
ried conference of the officers, and
then came the announcement that
Hayes was the real victor, with Hef-
feron second and Forshaw third.

London, England.-Surely there
a never have been such a Marathon
race run as that which an American
won. 1t was started in the precincts
of Windsor's historic castle by the
Princess of Wales, and the picked
long distance runners of the world,
numbering ffty-eight, began their
long FUN of more than t~wenty-six
miles to the great stadium at Shep-
herds Bush. Of these ffty-eight
America provided seven. OF these
seven no less than five were num-
bered among the first fifteen to cross
the winning line, which was placed
before the Queen of England.
1t was a remarkable demonstration
of the strides that long distance run
ming has made IN the United States
and a~stounded the competitors and
athletic sharps of the countries that
competed. Always in the race from
the start, the Americans, not over
prominent during the early period of
the contest, began to come to the
front rapidly during the closing miles,
and wnen Dorando, the Italian, col
lapsed ten yards from the finish and
was dragged unconscious across the
line. the protest which the Americans
raised was soon settled in their favor
and HAYES. of America. who was two
minutes later in crossing the line, re-
