Overton Gets Of Course.
But for an unfortunate mistake,
0yerton might have gained the junior
hcpOrs. The Yale man had never been
over the course until yesterday, and
after ascending the steep hill about a
mile from the start, he ran off the
course for more than fifty yards. He
vss told Of his mistake by one of the
course markers, and instead OF cutting
s1oS 10 regain the track he retraced
bis steps, running an extra hundred
ysrds. during which time the leaders
gained big advantage over him:
There were about five thousand per-
sons strung out along the hill and dale
route when John J. MeHugh started the

across the countryside, making the
work hard, and after the long. hill on

and was running elbow 20 elbow with
