were certainly entertained in a most
successful manner and the novelty Of
the affair. the running of 10 mile
foot race. between Indians and white
men, beginning at twilight and end
ing after night had fallen. the fact
that the track was lighted up by
scores of far-famed "smudge pots
or orchard heaters, and numerous
other intensely interesting and un-
usual features. made the event one
long TO be remembered by all who
were in attendance. And tnen il was
a lively, really thrilling race, runners
both red and white, who have attract
ed attention this summer all over the
country. competing with each other
in a most earnest manner. No Won
der LOCO and more people present
went almost wild with enthusiasm.
For thirty years the record for this
distance was held by ID. d. Day of
New York with 81 minutes and
SO 20 seconds but last year this rec
ord was set at % minutes, > seconds.
And the ease with which Halyye
sprinted at opportune moments clear
ly demonstrated that he can be the
holder of this honor at any time he
wishes.
The race also demonstrated an
other incident. that is that Saul can
do what superintendent Burton has
claimed for MIN all along, run 5 miles
in 20 minutes. Without telling eX-
ertions, he ran the first four miles
in 20 minutes. He then slackened
down 20 seconds in the next six laps,
or he would have proven this claim
as II was he finished the fifth mile
in minutes and 20 seconds.
Roscoe, another Indian. ran
beautiful race and will undoubtedly
be conner with age. For a boy IL
years old. his performance Saturday
night was remarkable Don. another
Indian, seemed to be somewhat out
of form but was able to obtain third
place.
Due to a misunderstanding both
Shovelton and Johnson failed to
finish but neither could have gotten
better than fourth or fifth The
white boys however. made game
fight and took their defeat i'm "a most
gentlemanly manner. Shovelton said,
y es, he beat us fair and square He
came back at us every time and il
was no use trying to beat him. The
world seemed black to me when he
and Roscoe passed me in the fourth
mile. We kept our promise to Dick
erson however, and made him beat
56 minutes to win. You can tell
them for me that everything was on
the square and we were treated fine.
The smudse pots didn't bother us in
the least and the best man won"
Ted Johnson stated, "lt was the
fastest race ! was ever in. Nobody
can beat that Indian. OF course we
tried to keep him from passing MS.
but that is all in the game. We were
beaten because he was the best man
don't think any one can say that we
didn't play fair and we tried hard to
beat him.
