It will not snatch any laurels from the brow of Hayrs, who won a good race, to say that the hero of the day waa the Italian Dorando. The admiration and sympathy of every person In the stadium went out1 to the gallant Italian who. although he did not win, deserved to win. and did mora within the limit of his powera than any other man who ran. The crista ia a battle oa which the life of a nation hung could hardly hare been more impressive than Dorando'a entrance Into the stadium.

He stood for a moment as though dased, aad tbeo turned to the left, although a red cord had been drawn about the track In the opposite direction for the runners to follow. It was evident also to every one that the man was practically delirioaa. A squad of officials ran out and expostulated with him, but apparently he waa afraid that they were trying to deceive him, and fought to go on to the left. At length he turned about and atarted on the right path along the track. Then followed an exhibltioa never to be forgotten by any one who witnessed it.

The colors aad the number told the spectators that It was Dora ado, and his name was on every 'Up.

Four times Dorando fell In the 300 yards that separated him from (he finish, aad three times after the doctors had poured stimulants down his throat he was dragged to hi feet and finally was pushed across the line with one man at his back and another bold Ing-film by the arm. His part ia the race: for all practical pur-' poses' was ended when he entered the stadium, for unless he received assistance tie coulc! not have finished.
