On the stretch down Town street Sharkey, McArthur, Perkins, N-e-I,-rl and CharnetsEi were even in the lead, with Randall biting their dust, but when Town street hill was taken Char netsh, appearing fresh and strong, pressed into the leadership, but only for a few yards, as the others with more power brought the quartette back into order with Randall Is or 20 feet in the rear.
 At the watering trough. according to the speedometer on the judges auto, the runners were hitting a 10- mile an hour clip and showed signs of increasing their speed a trif1e. One after another tried to take the lead, but it was of no use, as they found themselves back in the old rut with five abreast Sharkey, Nolan, Charnet- ski, McArthur and Perkins.
 Going down Washington street as ar Broad street there was practically no change in the situation except that Randall and Perkins were dropping from the foremost ranks.
 The excitement started in front of Smiths residence near Greene avenue, when Charnetski. McArthur and Nolan taking on slight burst of speed left Sharkey in the rear, and Nolan, the strongest of the two, used his well stored reserve force, and from Christ church to the finish held a few feet lead.
 IHdTIletSSAI ana 4hCATLnuf, unable 10 meet the Main street hill leaving Washington square with the same speed that Nolan paced, began to string out.
 John D.'s hopeful paced up Broad way at a good clip to the front of the '. NJ. C. A. building, winning by a few yards Charnetsh second and Mo Arthur third.
 The race was seen by many specta- tors who lined the course and was a thriller Much credit must be given to the foremost runners who ploWed on
 The others in order follow: Perkins, Sharkey, Randall Hasereau, Spicer Fiske and Nileslli.
 The time as announced by the time keepers was 29.56 1-5, practically the same as last years race.
 Prizes Awarded.
 Immediately after the race the prizes were awarded by General Secretary Edwin Hill of the Y. NJ. c. A: Bulle- tin cup to the winner, John D. Nolan, Jr.; silver medal to Alex Charnetszi; bronze medal to McArthur and ribbons to the next seven.
 Comstock Won Boys Race.
 The boys race turned out to be an other big success, with Comstock the winner and Mike Downey second, run ming a sensational race. DoWney took the lead and held it until Comstock came up from the rear on Broadway and steadily drew away. The young sters romped onward and one little fellow in particular, Corey, displayed great grit in coming in strong with smiles.
 The first six runners were Harry Comstock, Michael Downey, William Nolan, Robert Rafferty, Linius Char netski and Charles Pweckewlys
 Three cups were awarded, with rib bOns to the winners.
 Both at the starting line and at the finish enormous crowds awaited and the interest prevailed that of last years in many respects.
 The judges were taken in G. l.. LOT ing's machine and the Boy Scouts ably assisted in keeping in the crowds
 Charnetski, who collapsed at the fin- ish, was quickly taken up into the Y NJ c. A. building, where he was laid out on a pool table and given restora- tives.
