Speaking about Marathons,
those that have been held In
New York and Boston cannot
strictly be called such. The real
Marathon was run over a course
Of 25 miles in Greece. The Bos-
ton Athletic association insti-
tuted the race In this country,
the route from Ashland to Bos-
ton being also % miles.
The present professional Mar
athons are over the distance OF
20 miles 3S5 yards, distance
which was instituted at the
Olympic Marathon held at Lon
don. In this race the start and
the finish was made in suitable
place so all could see. The dis
lance was &c miles 3s5 yards.
Perhaps when the next Mara
thon is held there will be an
other change, but let's hope that
