was covered in SO 3-5 seconds; third
in SO 2-5; fourth in IS 2-5; fifth in
"a %, and the sixth In 65 10. The
first mile was very slow, and Kings
/, hackers knew that the soldier was
merely trying out the Hawaiian.
In the third lap of the second
mile King tired of the slow pace
put up by Kaoo. lie sprinted out,
and in two laps had put distance
of 200 yards between the native and
himself From that time on King
increased his lead until, in the fifth
mile, he overlapped Kaoo.
From then till the end of the race
1t was merely a matter of whether
or not something might happen to
King that would allow Kaoo to
catch up,
| There was nothing doing in tho
way Of catching up by Kaoo, bow
ever, and King increased his lead
with every stride.
Half Way.
| At seven and half miles, which
King ran In 46:4S. Kaoo was no less
than 2 minutes II seconds behind.
The eight miles were cut out by
King in $3.50, and he was running
very strong.
At ten miles, which King did in
1896, Kaoo was completely out Of
the race so far as winning went,
and a lot of coin that had been in
vested on tho ten mile result
changed hands there and then.
Kaoo brought forth cheers by
sprinting a few times whenever King
got close. but It always ended in
the Hawaiian slowing up and the
soldier adding another lap.
| Even after ten miles had been GOV.
cred, with King SO far In the lead,
there were Kaoo men who thought
that King might collapse and allow
the native to win after all.
King, however, was running In his
best possible style, and seemed ready
to keep 1t up for week.
Toward the end of the race King
quickened his pace lot and he got
over the ground at great rate. He
waa running as strong as at the
start, and seemed as fresh as ever.
Kaoo heightened his stride bit
and appeared to be running better
than at the beginning. The old fell
low looked as II he could have gone
the. full Marathon distance with
ease ..
Fourteen Miles.
The fourteenth mile was cast be
hind by King in 1:31:32, while
Kaoo took 1:3S:34. The soldier was
then one mile ahead, and he crossed
the winning line, at fifteen miles, 1G
seconds before Kaoo completed his
fourteenth mile. II was an easy vic
tory for King, and although Kaoo
made game attempt, he was out
classed at the distance.
The Finish.
| King was handed an American
flag by Nigel Jackson In the last
| zap, ana tHe HHe Hlttlt IuuueT Cal
ried the Stars and Stripes around.
One hundred and fifty yards from
the finish King tsprinted, and came
down. the track like an "eyenftime''
man. He crossed the winning line
amidst cheers, and then, ignoring
the offered support of his trainer,
turned afhand-spring, to show how
fresh, he was ~ ~
/ Kaoo stopped running when he
completed his fourteenth mile and
he was not SO distressed as people
imagined him to be.
King Admires Kaoo.
King was seen after the race and
be remarked: THAT old Hawaiian
is a wonderful runner for his age
If he had been shown how to carry
himself when on the track, he would
have been world-beater. Fifteen
miles Is my distance, but would
give Kaoo chance at me over the
Marathon distance early next year
II he cares to run"
