When I re ! the club it was raining and when I| | awoke the followinyg morning a fierce | blizzard ‘was raging which paralyzed | New York and kept me at a hotel for a week. We were unable to reach Hoboken | on the day of the race, which was won | by a local runner ywith a score of 90 ! miles, ani the storm cost me the $100 | prize. e ! Another six-day race was to be heid | in Apri], and the usual number of fa- | natics began to train for it. I had an | | amusing experience with two of them, | the first a massive negro weighing in the neighborhood of 250 pounds, calling | on me one evening during the last week of March and saying he believed he could break all records and win the coming race, as he dld not require to | rest or sleep any during the entire | week. I advised him to stick to his job_and T believe he took my advice, as I never heard of him again. The | other would-be champion was a little | Irishman of about 40 years of age who said he used to run all day long in Ireland and he felt confident he could break the record. T gent him off for an hour's run and he covered ssven miles and was 8o exhausted at the finish that I advised him to keep his position and not enter. But he resigned his posi- tion, paid $60 entrance fee, hired a trainer and after covering 40 miles in the Tace they carried him off the track. From 80 to 40 such men pald $50 each to compete for less than a &ay in these six-day races. The lure of the track, with stories of fahulous wealth to be won in races throughout the country, was too much for me, so I left the club to go on the road in the spring of 1888, A 15 mile race had been arranged at Norwich with John Maloney of Hart- ford, who had issued a challenge to run any man in the state from 10 to 20 miles. The race attracted a good sized erowd, and I belleve P. J. Ring, the well known sporting man, was referce of this race.

Humphrey ad been defeated by Darrow about a eek before this race, and the week's rest had put him in the best condition of his life. The race began with Ma- 1, which he retained for 10 miles, when I took up the running l. At this point Maloney, | indulging in a spurt with jostled me accidentally in | my foot slipping on the | outside of the track, I plunged head- long into the stage, I was nearly stun- ned by the fall and before I recovered | Maloney and Humphrey had gained more than a lap on me. This I tried to recover by making the pace a very fast one, and I had regained half a lap and was gradually wearing them down when, at the end of the 18th mile, I again slipped and fell, cutting a bad gash In my knee, and although T made | every effort to win I was finally beaten | by Humphrey by about half a lap, Ma- loney being a mile in the rear. The score was announced ag miles, an impossible mark, and tra was remeasured the follow; day and found to be short, the reaol dllrllf tance run being 18 3-4 miles. The great the records made by many professjonal runners of the present day on sp. 11y arranged tracks savor much of this 52 mile record of ours in this race, I was dissatisfied with the result of| this race and a_similar race was ar- | ranged between Humphrey and myself, | to be run in the same hall two weeks later. T trained hard for this race and | was in fine conditlon when we faced the starter. Two bags of sand were placed on the corners to prevent slip- ping. Humphrey ruled a strong favor- Ite in the betting before the race and au'te 2 number of bets were placed, Villam Farrell, Joseph Lavois, Na- than Bushnell and R. C. Kelley backing me for $100, while many smaller bets were made on the result. I felt confi- dent and determined to run either | Humphrey or myself off the track be- fore we had covered 15 miles. Accord- ingly I took the lead at the start. making the pace a very fast one, and retained it all the. way.
