For over three hours the Hawaiian

seldom more than four yards apart and,

their heads off and the band playing out

The official time for the race was
three hours, eight minutes, forty and

line, Nigel jackson, "Marathon Kid

\ lead once more but was several
times distanced by the Japanese, who,
however, never kept the lead for more
than a few seconds. AT the end of the
second mile, Fahy was Tapped and Hays
was Tapped in the third mile.
Charlie Does Stunts.
The little Chinaman was the only one
that afforded the amusement for some
time, sticking his head into the breeze
and doing remarkable sprints to keep
ahead of Hays and Fahy when they
tried to pass him. At one time after
being Tapped he had it out to a finish
with Jackson. This is amusing but it
is no way to win marathon race.
At the end of the fourth mile the
runners in order were Kaoo, Tsukamoto,
Jackson. Hays, Charlie and Fahy. Fahy
was tail of the procession from the
start, telling one of the judges later
that there was something wrong with
his lungs. 1t was rumored that he was
under wager to make the distance,
but during the latter part of the race
was walking.
At the end of five miles and the 3s5
odd yards, Jackson dropped out for a
rub down. He didn't have his oxygen
machine with him and was exceedingly
sore about it. The judges would not
permit him to use it without the same
. permission being granted to the other
3 runners. Also, according to the man

tie with alleged hot cocoa was the only
