/ a full ten yards ahead. The judges
; should use their own discretion abso-
lutely in all cases where events called
for judgment.
Moving Pictures.
Then the moving picture bunch got
busy. Both Eddie Fernandez and
BONNIE were there with the latest
things in machines The runners were
| taken, the judges were taken, the crowd
coming in was taken and everything
else that they could possibly think of
was taken.
Out for the Start.
| Then the runners came out for the
! start. jackson was arrayed in a gor-
! geous shirt with the British, American
| and Hawaiian flags intertwined. Tsu-
kamoto had his same little pink run
ming shorts. His ankles were bandaged
| tightly and he wore what looked like
a pair of ominously new shoes. It af-
forwards developed that they were en-
! tirely too new.
George Turner fire the starting gun
| and they were off. Jackson took the
lead and remained there during the
| entire race Never once was he headed
| by the Jap and passed only once. That
/ was after Tsukamoto had stayed out
| for seven laps and then ran his last lap
/ barefooted, during which lap he made
a vigorous sprint and Jackson, being
! so far ahead, allowed him to sprint by.
| The runners ran a tride more than
lap before any scoring was calcuIat-
ed. This was on account of the extra
3s5 yards. The start was 175 feet
back from the finishing line. After
they had crossed the finishing line
three times, one lap went up on the
board. This meant that they had COW
cred one lap and 385 yards and miles
| and laps marked up afterwards were
understood to include the extra dis
| tanee.
Jack Doyle Starts Things.
There was not much enthusiasm dur
ing the early miles. Then Jack Doyle
got busy on the first base bleachers
| and worked his good old back and
forth stunt by getting first one bleach
er and then the other to stand up and
come through with three rousing
"Banzais -
There was a large delegation of Rus
sian war veterans present. They had
the flag of their order and, before the
race, presented Tsukamoto with
gaudy and very expensive looking red
| banner which was installed at one cor
| ner of the grandstand
Not a Fast Pace.
Jackson set not very fast pace
from the start. For the first few miles
he kept jogging along but the Jap
chung to his heels all the time. 1t
was quite monotonous until the fourth
lap of the fourth mile. then jackson
! began series of sprints that kept the
Jap chasing him pretty hard. 1t was
| noticed that Jackson always went
ahead in the sprints but, of course.
Tsukamoto caught him up when he
slowed down.
| That fourth lap of the fourth mile
was the fastest one made during the
! entire race, both men sprinted prac-
tieally all the way round and COM
! pleted the sixth of mile in Sc see
onds. After that Jackson slowed down
| until the first lap of the fifth mile
when he did another spectacular sprint.
When five miles had been covered
the time for that distance inclusive of
the extra 3S5 yards, was posted on the
score board as 1885. This seemed
like pretty good time and, with both
men breathing easily and making no
fuss, it looked as though the race
would be over in very little more
than three hours.
Jackson's First Drink.
In the first lap of the eighth mile
Jackson took his first drink. One of
his trainers handed him a bottle lust
round the right field turn and the
other man stood ready to take the bot
tie a few yards further on. This first
drink was the signal for loud cheers
from the japanese fans who evidently
thought it was a sign that jackson
was weakening.
In the second lap of the tenth mile
Jackson started his hardest sprint. He
came down the home stretch at ter
rife speed and the Jap was left we'll
in the rear. Just as they passed the
boxing stand there was an incipient
scrap which was quickly quelled by
the police. 1t seems that two Hawai-
ians had an argument as to which way
they had bet their money and came
to fisticuffs over it. They were told TO
be good and they were good.
Good Time for Ten Miles
The ten-mile mark was passed in the
excellent time of 1.17.17. Deducting
the difference for the extra 3S5 yards
II will be seem that this was within
