THE FOOT RACES. More Competitors and Better Time Than Ever Witnessed in America. SPLENDID WEATHER AND EXCELLENT TRACK. The Seven Mile Walk Won by Taylor, of Harvard. TIMBHE, 66M. 28. The One Mile Bun, the Quarter of a Mile Ron and the One Mile Walk, Barber, of Amherst ; Culver, of Union, and Sewall, of Wesleyan, Winners. Sawaroga, July 15, 1875. While for fifty years or more we have had al- most annually in some part of the land a good rowing race or twe, not until a comparatively re- cent date bas there been much or good 100t rac- ing. An American Deer, a Deerfoot, a Weston or a Barding have at times astonished us by their Bpeed or stay, or both, but it was left largely toa few clubs, notably the New York Athletic, ‘pod thai within a very few years, to Awaken anything like @ general interest in this direction, and so draw out the very Tespectable performance to which such men as Messrs, Siern and Buermeyer and many more of the gentlemen of this city have often proved themselves equal. With the advantage of a good track and a great city near by to draw upon, the prospect is excellent for a nation of men hard to beat afoot. bat which has kept, and Jor a while yet will keep, fast walking and running from be- coming general among us, and wherein England also has a commanding advantage, is that our boys do aot prow up used to games such as foot- bal}, hare and hounds and long distance runing, walking and skating, but too many of them not knowing much hardor work than spinning a top or spapping a marble. It was leit to the students themselves to take the first step toward introduc- Ing good footwork among college boys snd men. The first general meeting was held on the morn- ing of the day of the University race at Spring- field in July, 1873, a gentleman of this city offering a handsome prize, open to competitors from all American colleges in @ two-mile running race, which was won by Mr. Duncan Ewen Bowie, of McGtli College, Montreal, in the slow time of 11m. 48s., beating Phillips, of Cornell, and Ben- ton, of Amherst. Repeating his gift next year, five races were thrown open to the colleges of the Rowing Association only, Mr. Cortes Maxwell, of Yale, winning the hurdle race in 20448.; Mr. A, B. Nevins, of Yale, the 100-yard dash in 10%8.; Mr. E. Copeland, of Cornell, the mile race im 4m. 58348.; Mr. Downs, of Wesleyan, the three-mile race in 18m. 173{8., and Mr. John E. Eustis, of Wesleyan, the seven-mile undergraduate walk in 71m. 16s, For these various contests taere were in all forty- Ave entries and that they at once awakened j A GENERAL INTEREST 1s shown by the way the men have come forward to-day, there being, in all, tor the ten events the enormous number of 110 entries. it 16 almost cer- tain that, in point of number of competitors, no vuch athletic meeting was ever before seen in America, and the progress made in these two years cannot fail to be very gratilying to all who ‘ake an iuterest in seemg our young men grow 1p many, tough and vigorous, Asim ail the events of the week, the students lave been favored with capital weather, and, e hat the sun shone powertuily, a better day could tardly have been sought. Perhaps, too, as with horses, they can run better In warm weather thanin cool At any rate, the performances were almost all very creditable to those who took part, and show a marked improvement on the time ofa year ago. An element, too, new to us, tnou; not to the Englisn, of making a day of tt, having part ofthe races in the morning and the othe: in the cool late afterroon, relieved them of any- thing like tediousness, and the interest, instead of flagging, rather increased to the very close. THE TRACK, knownas the ‘Glen Mitchell,” lies prettily ina little valley a mile and a half north of Saratoga, and, though not of asphaltum, which many run- ners prefer, was yet in good order and fit for fast work. From nine to ten the road was THICK WITH VESICLES, not so motley as the jong line whieh yes- terday stretched to and irom the lake, but abounding more in fine turnouts. Even in the morning the attendance was large, and nothing happened to in any way mar the -in- terest, which was deep and general, To be sure, halt an bour was lost before the racing com- menced, but the Committee of Management will, , doabtiess, not let this occur again, It should be added, by tne way, that the prizes, many of which are of decided valae—among them, for tmstance, being $200 and $350 gold watches—are given dy the proprietors of the hotels flere and from the gate money, while what re- mains of the laster is to go toward a sinking fund to insure the success of thes@ meetings in Juture years. At avout hali-past ten o’clock THD ONHMILE RUNNERS came out to the stand and were soon in line ready for the word. Copeland, of Cornell, won this race last year, in 4m, 58%8., then thougat good time, But here he was ready to beat that by ten seconds. So were seme others, too—David “Trumbull, of Yale, whose hume reputation was very strong, aud Barver, of Amherst. 1t was a peautiful race, Barber, of Amherst, cutting out Copelund’s work all the way, and winning in a canter in the capital time of 4m. 44%48., beating Copeland by 100 feet. Trumball witharew about an eighth of a mile /rom the finish, saving Rimself doubtless jer his other race. Chinpery, in Eogland, ran the mile in 4m. 29s., the fastest time on record, and it was not eda that Barber Was much exhausted at the danish. Soon afterward THE ONE-MILE WALK ‘was called, with five starters, Sweet, of Cornell, who had the inside; Platt, of Wilhams; Sewell, of Wesleyan; Hall, of Princeton, and Green, of Harvard, The referee announced that two cau- tions only will disqualify, the danger, as is well known, being to break from @ walk into ® run in @ Sharp short race @ this, Taylor, of Marvard, had entered, and Appeared at the time, but did not walk.

SEVEN-MILE WALKING MATCH, ‘There came to the score five men, and long be- fore they were through tuey proved strong walkers, M.

E. Gage, of Dartmouth, as he beamed upon bis antagonists, shone out gayiy In nis gorgeous green trunks, red tights and grass-colored ker- chief, while bis tnick-soled canvas shoes looked likely to tell against bim in comparisoa with the white canvas sandal of Driscoll, or the thin-soled, high-laced boots of Taylor, of Harvard, Mr. Clarence W. Francis, of Columbia, was tastelully done im blue and white, with colors naked, white jockey cap, trimmed with blue, and high shoes. He stood hardly five feet five inches, and, while beautifully proportioned, looked small beside his antagonists, though long before the hot work was over he showed bimseif every inch a man. B. R. Taylor, better known as the jarge man of the Harvard crew, made Francis look diminutive enough. Six feet high, with calves sixteen inches about, and thighs to match, he looked, as he is, a thoroughly well built man throughout. He says that nis lungs have @ capacity of 390 cubic inches, and he certainly has great chest room, Clad in plain white tights, witha littie Marvard stirping midway, and alight cap on bis head, he was in good shape jor his work. They got TARE WORD at 11b. Om, 458., and im a flash Taylor shot to the front tll you would think the other men were an- chored, so fast did he get away. No ordinary man could walk that way and live; and few, save those who knew him, believed he could last at it for even @ quarter of a mile. But they soon bad their minds Telievea on this point. His walk was Bot a stride but @ good, ordinary step, his toes flung high ana heel dropped hard, but there was a strength about it that was something almost startling. By the end of the first eighth he had Dowas all of ten feet behind, while Francis was thirty bebind him and eight in front of Driscoll, who was ten feet away from Gage. ° AT THE QUARTER POST Taylor had made the gap fifty feet, and the watch said 6m. 30s. past eleven, making a minute and three quarters so far—capital time. Downs had put Driscoll thirty teet back, while six feet from his beels was Francis, and fiiteen from him Gage. All working sharply along the third and fourth eighth, and all carrying their bands iree and high save Gage, whose were noticeably lower—they sped on toward the half mile in fine style. Taylor thought by this time that 120 feet benind him was @ good place for Downs, while the latter and Driscoll were going along like brothers, with Francis #ix ieet betind and Gage hovering near. On the Mith eighth Taylor had made thirty feet more, or fifty yards im ali, and a sbarp little Har- vard cheer, like the bark of a Kentish houad, spurred bim on. But he aid not seem to need it, jor he was tearing away at the same terrifo pace, looking as if he ran by clockwork, ana, ap- parently, making Bothing of it. AT TRE THRER-QUABTER POST Downs Dud to look 200 leet tosee him, while Francis, at Downs’ heels, helped bim to look, and saw Francis twenty teet further back and Gage further yet. Downs was now swinging along in fine shape, his head well up, bis back straignt, his arms swinging easily, and with aswitch in bis righthand, Driscoll, with plenty of action, fondly cuddled a lemon in mis leit waile witn kerehief in bis right he mopped his sweating brow. Now they near c THE MILE POST and Taylor’s gait must tell. But it doesn’t, shooting by 1* 250 feet to the goal the watch marks 14m, 45s, alter the hour, or eigut minutes from the start—not bad time for man, Do matter ‘what his record. Driscoll was twenty feet back of Downs, Francis thirty more, while Gage, tae rear guard, keps 100 feet irom the latter’s heels, John Eustis on this eighth walked in bes: Downs, but was peremptorily ordered off by the relerce, who, driving alongside in a buggy, understood his business and was attending tot, Taylor did not care how much they nursed the others, and on the fifth quarter contented Rimself with adding flity feet more to his lead, making it now 100 yards, But Downs and Driscoll and Francis were Hi good men and would not let him rest, while Gage was pounding away two feet behind them. Downs seems to improve slightly, and keeps his eyes on Taylur. Waile Driscoll, brushing up too fast, gets from the referee HIS FIUST CAUTION. He must be careful now, for a second will dis- quality bim, and he acts asi( he thought so too. Now they reach the mile da half, and the watch says 20m. 58. past, or 13m. 20s. from the start jor Taylor, while it strikes him as a good pian to Mako the gap 350 feot instead of 300, and lest be should forget ithe attends to it at once. Dris- coll’s arms are up sbarp as ever, and the brotherly feeling between him and Downs still exists, or they pass the three-quarter post to- gether. Not yet has Taylor, who weighs 180, changed his pace, but, spinning right along, makes tor the two-mile post, 23m. 32s. past, says the watch, or 16m. 478, for the two miles, Downs being 450 feet behind, Driscoll 460 and Francis 660, with Gage far away in the rear. It had beem rumored that the latter had covered the seven miles in sixty minutes and how he cime to lag so was not easy 10 understand. Still rushing ahead, bis arms swinging splendidly and helping him much, Tay- Jor kept on, disrewarding the cheers the crowd gave bis rivals, looking once in a while carefully atthe iatter and going as if he meant to beat them a mile. Downs now OPENS THE GAP anead of Driscoll to twenty /eet, Bolt keeping Francis 150 behind, until they reach the two mule and &@ quarter post, when suddenty, without any otice, Gage witadrew, early in the race, one would think, for really good man at ail well trained. Neither he nor any other on that track had the bmald or power of Taylor. Strong everywhere, too large nowhere, he walked as smooth the working beam of a North River day boat and if he could tire out, notning yet suggesied it. Taking @ look at Downs as he rounded the two mile ad a half post, added fifty more feet, making the interval 600. Again Driscoll was right on Down’s heeis. and waich of these two was to wear down the otter was more than any could define, Downs last year, on this very track, and both then and yesterday im his crew, proved himself a Tare man, but there was tie long-ieggea Driscoll everlastingly hanging around him, unable, seem- togly, to go either way. Buta prettier signt than either of the three was Francis, coming gamely along bentind with the face and port of a genue man, erect and /ull of grace. His form irom one end of THE TERRISLE WORK to the other was so nearly perfect as to clicit the frequent admiration of the thousands of specta- tors. Making no break or misstep, wi m toe fairest way possible, and seeming as covl as at Starting, his almost bioodiess face hardly showed a drop of perspiration as he walkea bravely on, Could the Mg man in front bola that pace over sevon whole miles, and were not the other two overdoing themselves in trying todo the same ? So many questioned and before the end the doubt was partly justified, wholly so then bad the prize ween his, who was thus so pauiently walking a waiting race, Passing | the two mile anda half post at 28m. 8s. past tne hour Taylor kept all bis jead and Driscoll brushing ap drew level with Downs, but only for # moment and he was soon aguin in bis place, Taylor covering the next quarter in 2m. 20s, and Downs and his mate apparentiy run- ning to catch up. Sv, too, thougne the referee, andextended @ prompt cantion. Now a friend gives Francis ® kindly touch with the sponge, while Downs rinses bis month with « glass of water, Driscoll is getting tired, while the sweat stands out cepiousiy on Downs’ brown throat and arms, and some of the crowd call out thas both are ruoning. Now three miles are done and the stx- teen-inch calves are ping along as hgntly as Jobn Eustis, on the next eighth, burming to give his friead Downs a with Bim quite a way, until the referee orders him once more to desist, Going by the quarter post, forty-five seconds akead, Taylor was soon at the half, and whengagain at the quarter Downs tried another run, but it was his aying effort, for the strong man in ermson and white had fairly walked him down, and in the next moment, just at the middie of the séven miler, DOWNS CEASED WALKING, Now, whose race was it? Taylor's, ten to one. Perhaps not, for Driscoll’s fine condition kept him on at & quick.step, while the loss of Downs brightened bim up. but the plucky little Co- lumbian had ® sharp eye on nis every movement. Taylor, slackeming his pace no walt, takes a pocket handkercnief and wraps it about bis bead. No*wonder, tor the cap was disre- garded miles back, and the powerful midday sun must, but for the free perspiration, bave kept his blood at fever heat, At iwenty minutes of twelve @nd 33m. 15s. from the start be passed the thri and three-quarter post, 600 feet ahead; but there Was no let up im Driscoll, and his pace was as g00d as at almost any earlier point, while he Kept two feet aheal of Francis. No change had come atthe next quarter. Finishing his four miles in 36m. 408., he kept his place id grace. At the next quarter plucky little Francis mad cut down the gap between him amd Driscoll to 100 ieet, ana his form and swing remained. It was said that a professional trainer had pre- pared bim for bis work. Certainly ne had done it Weil, for all the walk that little man was capable of ne was showing this hot poon; and now Dris- coll looks as if he would like to stop, and grows a shade paler, but sticking mantuilly to work he passes tne jour anda halt mile a 40m. 358. liom the start, But now mark! instead o! the high head and stiff neck ana the boay easily erect, even the strong ayior begins to FEEL HIS WORK, and soon his back drops noticeably bebiad the perpendicular, his head una leet doing the Stretching forward, Now Franc! if you hi Wwatcned closely, nas come your chance.

SARATOGA, July 15, 1875, The University race for 1875 has been rowed and the victory awarded to the boys of Cornell. Never hasa contest been so magnificently fought out. Vanquished as well as victor have every reason to feel proud of the part they played in the great struggle. A race for honor, the competitors all acquitted themselves nobly, ana though tae vic- torious colors of the intercollegiate regatts have Rot, as was expected by many, been borne of tri- umphantly by the students of Yale, still Captain Cook and bis m othing to reproach th selves with for having been beaten by more hardy, M not as skilled, antagonists.

Third Day of the Second Race Meeting at Long Branch. Fine Weather and Good Racing. FIVE INTERESTING CONTESTS. Faithless, Ascension, Wildidle, Mate and The Hoaxer the Winners. It was a fair trip down to the course yesterday. ‘The sun stone ovef the blue waves, which were just rippled by a pleasant breeze. At tne course there was the usual congregation of stages will- tug to take you up for ten cents, the numerous boys selling programmes of the races, which were, of course, eagerly sought for, and the interminable discussion about favorites and pools. The man with the stentorian voice at the pool stand, whose throat nas resisted she wear and tear of many meetings, was still at his post, taking In the bets and always anxious for more, About the time the races were to begin the sun, which had shone out brightly during the morning, ‘went out ander a cloud and stayed there. 1t was ® great rehef; for, in spite of a land breeze, it has been very hot. There wi reat deal more ex- citement over the second race than the first. The ladies seemea to be particularly. interested im Ascension, On the seco’ mile some People endeavored to scoop ina little money by offering 100 to 5 om @ horse that was many lengths ahead. There were no takers, Just after the sec- ond race the sum shone out again and it became Intensely hot. The $2,000 race brought out & good deal of en- thusiasm, and 1+ was rather lous to bear the comments made on the heas system so popular at Monmouth, While the fourth race was going on one enthusi- astic individual, np doubt excited by the occa- sien, a8 Mate was coming along the turn toward jomestretch, shouted, “One hundred to one,” and it was immediately taken up. The man who had made what, alter all and under any circum- stances, can only be called a foolish wager, turned awfully pale, but handed out the money, of course later pocketing the dollar. The incident only shows the cenfidence whicn Mate’s backers felt. The most interesting event of the day, particu- larly to the ladies present, whoin many cases were personally acquainted with the contestants, ‘Was the Gentleman’s Race. ‘This over, the last day but one of the Mohmonth Park meeting was over. There was a rush for the cars, a scramble to get seats, and once more the big excursion party was on its way to the city. THE RACING.
