HOWELL'S RACE. Ike Little Englishman Making' a Wonderful Score. WHICH, BARRING ACCIDENT, WINS Merritt and Hazael Neck and Neck for Seoond Place. HART IN HARD LUCK. Withdrawal of Jackson and Plucky Conduct of Guyon.

FRIDAY, TWO A. M. ROWELL 402 MERRITT 371 HAZAEL 368 GUYON 345 HART 340 WESTON 327 ENNIS 310 KROHNE 308 FERDEMEYER 290 TAYLOR 180 JACKSON Withdrawn WESTON BEHIND 75 Not only the most eventful, but the most interesting day of the great walking match ct the Madison Square Garden was yesterday. Hazael, who had been sulking in hie tent and was refractory daring the first two days of the race, went to work in good earnest and showed that bad he beon so inclined from the beginning ho could won the belt or foroed the score far beyond the record. While Wostou had laid aside much of his buffoonery he still acted in a manner that drew down discredit on the contest, and his score was so poor that it invited criticism on his alleged London performance.

As his representative and relative. Dr. Snyder, said last night, the most dharitable construction that can be put upon his oonduct is that he is not. owing to his nervous stato, Wholly responsible for the many offensives offered to a too ganerous public. Merritt suffered a good deal from a bad auklo, and this fsiling helped faaaal in the fight for second place.

Hart, who met with au accident early in the morning that at first aeemed serious, succeeded daring the afternoon iu keeping his score ahead of Weatou's. Howell scored his 400th mile during the day. The fight for second place continued between Huzad and ltsrritt during the day and night. Just before two o'clock an immense paving stone was thrown on the track on the Fourth avenue side of the Garden. It foiled between Morritt and Uazael, tortunatoly touching neither.

The most nnploasant feature of the day's walk was the refusal of Weston to take a bouquet from a lady who tendered it during the eventag. He was roundly hissed for his boorishncas. A Serious dispute, as will be seen from Mr. O'Leary's letter, Is likely to result from the Panchot challenge. habt's mishap.

Shortly after half-past two o'clock yesterday morning an accident befell "Black Ban," from the effects of which he will lose at least two pegs in the rotation at She finish. It has been noticed how Hart, time and again, endeavored to chase after Haaael. Ail day long "the boy" was impatient to rnn, but both Hr. Euglehart and Dan O'Leary protested against any such action. Lap after lap the Englishman flew past Hart, who, under instructions, kept Up a steady walking pace.

As morning wore on and a portion of the regular fiight orowd departed Haziel started again to run in order to increase his load over Hart. Hart at the time was feeling dtrong, and was anxious to make mile for mile with UazacL It was finally decided to allow him to run a little, aud at ten minutes to three he was closing on Haxsel. It seems to occasion Hazsel no trouble tfO run at any time, and he is never so pleased as yrben ho finds some one endeavoring to pass him. fiegradually quickens his pace, lap by lap, until it amonnta to a racing pace. Time and again since this match began be has made Weston, Taylor aud Murritt weaken on running with him.

It is his habit to get tho man so near behind that he can see him by slightly turning hie head, and keep him there. This method he observed with Hart at the time mentioned, aud as Hart was running strong the pace grew hot. Iiart bad just finished his 279th mile when the racing Began. The men moved around faster and faster fiatil they seemed to actually fly. Tho contrast In the methods of the two was more plainly umrkoa in this little struggle than ever before.

The tight, trotting liorae style of Hurt, sod the long, loping, Blab-slried gait of the Englishman coi.tr.tit,ed Strangely, bat it plain to bo seen that the loper worked with the least waste of power, sud covered ground with greater esse. On flew the men, the people In tho enclosure rushing Wildly from aide to side to moot them as they dashed wildly by. It was a desperate struggle, tho Mood of both men was np and the interest of the Srowd was intense. Awsy they sped past the ieorere' eland, having finished tho lap neck and deck. The momentum of the stride was ao great that at the tarn both swang wide of the post, ami Bart, in the rear, tried to eat Haaacl olf and take it again.

The English man was too qnick, however, nd, daehing down the Twenty-sirth street side at raee horse epeed, led the way for "lllaek Dan." Just he the tarn at Fourth avenue and Twenty-sevauth treat was reached Hart's right ankle turned on him and he pitched headlong to the ground. It was fortunate that he did not break bia neck, for ho fell awkwardly. In a second a shout went up and a ruah was made for the apot.

'Tis narrated iu the veracious legends presorted by MIW YOE tho Ilritisb Tar that oucc on time, when Kir Joseph Porter, C. proalded over the destinies of tho uc tlio Queen's uuvy, that hiH goings were always attended by swarm ot blood rclat'oua. tu the legend, told by the Tar, they are cMied bloody rel-tious, but thu word huv ng of line auiqulitxl a deprecatory meaning it la uot uow used. TUeae relatives consisted ot sisters, cousins aud aunts, and piotuund research ha tailed to inform posterity Sir Joseph evir had mother or a iuother-inlaw.

Kvideuc-s ot either being wanting, posterity ik justitled to conclusion that bo had neither. Since the tiuiFof Sir Joseph few melt have been so blessed with gentle km, and but for this walking match a fOUDg in who eould liuvo rocu Joseph anil none liiiu ten better, with two aces to sparo, might have been unknown to I'aiuo. Gray, while contemplating a country churchyard, pondered that 'some mute, inglorious Milton," "somo CrotuweU fulltless of his country's blood," or yet, "some vilagu Hampton" might here lie slumbering, but even his briU.ant imagination would have failed to suggest to him that inayhup b.r Joseph eould be outdoiie. lie has been outdone, though, by Mr. Jackson, who in addition to dozens ot cousins and such liko, haa a mother and prospective liioliiiir-ln-law.

When it was derided not to allow b'erdouicyor to trundle his wheelbarrow on tho track it was also decided that the relatives of Jacksou would not be. allowed to accompany liim on his walk tiulcBK they rcgulary entered at $0011 a lieud. Thu liuu must be drawn somewhere, and tho JackRous drew it at the stipulation. At the same time tliey drew long breaths and decided to camp on the truck. At twelve o'clock on Sunday night they appeared, seventeen strong, and since that time the number has been maintained by Irtish relays, each relay putting iu ton hours' time.

Yesterday morning, uh Jackson did not feel A No. 1, one batch of relatives did not depart when relief eJ, so that a grout family conclave ensued. While it was in progress, at five A. Jackson entered liis quartets, anil as his ankles were sore, ami his foct oue mass of blisters, it waa decided to take him from the truck. As ho was hope esslv out of the raco he readily acquiesced in the decision, and in ten uiinnios he had donned his citizen garb, and was on his way to tho Madison avenue entrance of the Garden.

Such a "gitting up and gitting," as took place at this time is rarely witnessed, except on occasions when an alarm of fire is sounded iu a church or school. It must havo seemed to tho dozing dooikoeper as though the building was turned inside out, such was tho jam of exits. The building was not at tho time very full, and the departure of the Jackson family occasioned an empty look, from which the house did not recover uutil after eight o'clock. At about eight o'clock, Howell and ilazael, who have been travelling together for tho last four miles, are in earnest conversation. The fact that they havo been so long together has given rise to a rumor that some agreement has been entered into between tbeiu.

But the rumors that abound at all times would fill a page of the Uebald. At forty-six minutos past nine Guyou finished his 300th mile, amid wild cheering, iho score at eight 2ft4; Ho well, 332; Huzael, 300; Eunis, 218; Morritt, 30(1; Hark 235; Krohnc, 253; Taylor, 150; fordomeyer, 234. late contestants as sff.o&bokk. Shortly alter uiuo A. M.

Pane hot, whose withdrawal was announced In yesterday's Herald, appeared at the Garden, looking rather bright, but still quite lame from his sprained foot. He rather enjoyed being a spectator, and when he was recognized here and there he stopped to chat, aud spoke hopefully of being able in two or three months to race Mr. Howell. Tho trouble with his foot is of such a nature that he can nurse it away, lie is already in the hands of a competent physician, who eucuurages him to hope thnt lie will come out nil right. As the little mail carrier stood leaning over the track rati ho frequently remarked tlio coaching of llozael by Howell.

He inquired for Jackson and expressed great sympathy for Hart. Panchot had not loft the building uiuru tuou HTr luiuuvun WUUU dttcunuu, panied by any of his kill, appeared as a spectator. Ho had very little to say concerning his withdrawal. When aakod if it was his stomach, his feet or his annts that induced him to quit work, ho said lio quitted becanso he was broken up generally. In othor words he had not stamina enough to pull him through the tremendous struggle.

Ho looked a perfect wreck, and seemed quite happy to bo a mere looker-on. When he departed he took his flowers with him aud bade goodby to all bauds. At ten o'clock the score '274; Howell, 341; Huzael, 310; Guyon, 300; Eunis, '25(1; Merritt, 315; Hart, 201; Krohne, 260; Taylor, 153; Fordomeyer, 240. MID-DAT SCENTS. Tho regular day audience arrived somewhat earlier than usual yesterday.

By halt-oast ten the great hall was crowded, with a sprinkling of ludios here and thrre. The men were all ou the track and working haid. Howell was running and so wna Uazael. Meeting each other near the cascade, a little before eleven, they started together and made several laps at full speed. The people applauded vigorously and were divided in their opinions of tho merits of tho two men.

"Go in, Rowolll" "Force him, Howell!" "Fire him outl" were addressed from buo party to the plucky little Briton, and the famous runnur was advised to beat down his oppoueut iu an equally forcible manner. Eleven o'clock found Guyou, Hart, Woaton, Krolittc, Ferdcnicyer, Eunis, Uazael and Howell on the course. Tho latter two kepi up their racing, and it If Howell was treating his countryman to the same sort of exercise as Hart practised on him during tho lirst hours of the race. Howell was ou his 345th mile at that liour aud Hazat-1 ou 31Gth. signs of distress were becoming, for the first time, evident on llowcll.

His face looked drawn and there was a tired look about liis mouth that showed he was aufl'ering from the effects of the long tramp and, probably, mure thau a I an saw Uiru for the tlrst time, since the match began, yesterday morning, the change at once, aud expressed surprise at tho difforonco. Hazael was busy pusliiug on to Merritt for the second place, an many beta were made on the chances of both. Mcrritt was on bis 320th mile, and hia antagonist was three miles behind him when lioweil dropped out of the run, aud iett Hazael to turn hia attention to Merritt. Guy on at thia time waa walking steadily und apparently lu easy condition, notwithstanding the difficulty with hia uiiltlo. He hud taken to a stick aiuco tlio night bet ore.

and it undoubtedly helped him along. Funis, contrary to all expectation, was doing tlnely. Ho was on his Ufl'Jth un.e aud running at lull speed, tie had gained in spirits, and had plainly picked up ccurage with his returning health. On the 2'JSth mile liarl had completely forgotten hia bad leg aud steamed along at a flue gait. Several bouquets wt-ro suut him, and many inquiries were made of Mr.

Kugtchardt us to hia coudit.ou. Weston had iu a great measure given over his capers, aud was trying to redeem his reputation by more reserved conduct. The public, however, were uot eutireiy ready to accept ti iin in this new style, und they kept up a running of remarks as lie passed round. "That's the man who made 550 miles in England lu a hook," snnl one man. "He'll before Saturday night," said another.

You'll sec," added the third. "ile'U do some good work before he stops. The man is entirely change 1. Whatever was the cause of the way he was acting 1 don't know. Those who pretend to know say it was an extreme utrvousuuss.

Why he was nervous at doiug a tiling ho has so often done botore I dou't understand: at all events he has entirely changed. I am oi the impression th.ue will be a change in li work beforu tho cud of the race arrives. Ferrtomeycr was on his 21t)Ui mile ut noon, and he was urging himself forward with great energy. One of the men who attracted least attention aud was forging i long steadily, looklug neither to the right nor to the left, was Krohne. At noou he was on his 270th iiiHe, and although his feet were lender he was otherwise in good shape aud but little affected by the labor so far.

Weston took to eating lumps of ice during the 1 afternoon, and seeing hiiu going around with a piece in his mouth a boy shouted it old refrigerator." Taylor was on tue track several times during the altoruoou, creeping along at a very alow rate. "Take it easy, Snailer," called out a man, "if you don't tuko care you'll win." Ferdemoyer was desirous of giving in several liinea during the day, but his manager got a gentleman to talk French to him and as he had a damaged toot they put a blister on him aud feoliug better utter the application and the conversation bo went back to work. As Weston was going round the track about two o'clock he met Dan O'Lcary. "You muke that boy of yours win," he aaid to "or Mrs. Weston will los i "What was the wager?" asked O'Loiu'y.

"That he would beat you?" "Yin, that was It." "Hho'U win." VOLD1NO THKIB TKNTS. Enuia changed his tout about three o'clock, knd weui to live in tbooue recently occupied by Jackson.

Howell returned to tile track at three o'clock, after being in his tent several minutes eating, lie was on liis 367th mile, and 011 going round to the scorers' side of the building he met I Weston and Hazael, when all three broke simultaneously into a run. Merritt was behind them walking rapidly. Howell continued to force llazael, I and it was rumored in the house that he was afraid I of him and that he wanted to break him down. Euuis, seeing them at good warm work, joined 111 I and passed both.

Weaton went oil' at thirteen minutes past three, when he had scored miles, 1 Merrltt, who had retired sometime before, returned. His score then marked 314. Weston returned in a few minutes, and there being a large and euthu- i elastic house be could not resist the temptation of making faces at them and playing monkey, scratching his sidos, with his hands folded up to form paws. Hazael ran oue lap at five minutes past three in 66 seconds and the mile, ot which It made part, ill 4tn. 60s.

Enuis waa still running at ten minutes past three, and Weston retired on his isatiih mile at thirteen minutes past three. While the Bcore marked 314 for Merritt he returned to tho track and was soon after joined by Weston, i They bud a brush together for a couple of laps, and Weston, being the most tutigued of the two, stopped first. Krohne, who had left his easy method tor a I run, was enthusiastically encouraged. Before he finished the spurt he was presented with a bouquet. Enuis made his 'ittuth mile in a run and demonstrated wonderful endurance and pluck.

no aiiuosi in a moment became a dangerous rival for tho belt. Cheer on clieer was given for him and his performances were such as to warrant them, Merritt continued to astonish the public by his constant and even plodding and the score he is running up against the ilnal struggle. The name of tue "Night Stalker" has been given to him, but he has a warm place in the general esteem, notwithstanding his awkward gait and unprepossessing llgure. Eums did wonders during the atternoon, aud friends who dreaded his giving way were delighted to hud him still on tho track. UURIKO THKATUK HOCUS.

The ovening scene in the Garden, considering the evening as beginning at theatre hours, was brillinut. The interest of tho ladies in the show continues, aud, as is always the case, their sympathies are with the most afflicted lookiug victims of the walk. "Poor GuyouI" one hears on all sinus from the lair ones, ins handsome lace engages tho ladies, and added to it tils distressed appearance centres interest in him. It would i.e against human nature, especially female human nature, to expect enthusiasm to centre on either Krohue or Kcrdeincycr. Krohue is too big for sympathy and himself to tiud fellowship.

The paradox of such a union would be ridiculous. Perdouieyer is too old. Ha has passed the ago when he could claim the adtuiratiou of the fair s-x. Murritt. who was, betweeu eight ami nine, lalliug behind liaxael, came in for much sympathy.

For a man with a sprained ankle, and a badly sprained ono at that, he is certainly skilful at concealing it, and the chief difference between his work now and on Monday Is that It takes him toa or fifteen seconds longer to get over a lap thau then.

It is hard to escape tho conclusion that we simply haven't anything in stock lit to compare just now with these liruish always Wee- ton.

Not entirely au anomaly is he either. Long uml extensive as has been liazael'a experience, it does not equal Weston's In this protracted toot work.

All will remember that two or three weeks ago.

when these racirn wore buried in thu nubi le of their wrangle about the tune at which tlie race was to be run, there came quietly tip to Hie managers ouu day a stout, swarthy, middle aged man, and said ho had a man to enter for this hgnt.

At a quarter of eight on Thursday evening iu Kugland, when Weston had broken down, and leaving liiiu tar astern was stricing ou to sure victory, Weston's own record was 37-1 miles aud 4 laps. And what is ltowell's now As much Yea, and a dozen more miles to boot; a cie 336.

And how is Howell doing compared with his own wink yesterday? Down to eight yesterday evening he id gone lrom 215 to 200, just 75 miles. Down to eight to-night, front 310 to 337, or 77 uiiios, actually taster thin yesterday. He did 05 in alt yesterday. That pace sustained throughout tin week, as he has tuus so well sustained it to-day, will Ian I him at eleven Saturday night, 05 utake -lOStoffuisli to-day with; 05 more- to-morrow will make Lite cleau 500, and Saturday's 05 foots up 505. What is the best work ou record? Weston's 650 iu England.

What the next? Brown's 5421a in a previous race, Will Bowell beat these best reeords by Saturday or nuj? It's hardly necessary to answer, that is, if he continues on us ho has done yester- day and to-day. Hut will he? If he wants to, aud Huziel continues to drive him, it certainly looks as if lie will. Notice him there this minute as he goes by. Stiff? Not at all. Lame? Not at all.

Going slowly? On the contrary, never doing less than ttvu miles au hour. Go over to I Chautauqua Lake a fortnight hence and two swiftest scullers America ever mid- i i and you'llsco tierce dotormiuutiou and panting breath and everything in tliom straining to its utmost us i tliey ugouizo tor victory. Do you sue anything of tills sort in lie well? Nut a' all; but ou the eou- 1 trary an cusy, eroct carriage aud a vigorous walk or quiet trot, which look us it he couid coufluue them us surely as the laboring man stays at his task from ila.vn to sundowu. They're talking that Hazael can really whip him; that he last night told Joo Cross, the prize fighter, who hovers niucu about his tent, i that he would run off a quiet twenty just then to cut RowcU's score down. Weil, he tried it and did run sixteen, but as to cutting the score down that proved quite another matter.

Ho has, to bo sure, caught up two miles ou him to-day, but 1154 from i 3nti leave li'J, aud to say that lie will make up that terrific gap over a rnau in such seemingly perlect order is simple nonsense. THE GAMS FULLY EXPOSED. No, what was stated yesterday that all along the plan was that Hazael should win this race, that ail his deliberate work of Monday and behind his known under the paltry subtcriuge that his was out of order, aud that he had had a row with his trainer, has beeu demonstrated to-day in a manner patent to the merest child. Starting this morning eleven nines behind Merritt, lie not only has caught up the whole distauce to-day, but he actually did it before the day was half goue. Then he rested ati hour and let Merritt get away again, until, at three o'clock, his figures were dd.i to tiiu otuer's 354, or six miles behind him.

Now, five hours later, though Merritt has been ou the track during most of the iuterval, Hazael has lapped him, passed him and has gone tour miles ahead. He probably will slip back every now and then and give him a Little more rope, but the cat and mouse nature Of the business is overwu. transparent. can't wurroK catch up But wou't Weston give Hazael a iiard fight for secoud place? Not just this Week. Diilicult as it is to think that he has begun to do his nest, it is still very possible that, notwithstanding his own belief to the contrary, he bad not thoroughly recovered from tho great straiu of his famous June race iu England win he entered ou the present work.

But wuether he had or uot, oue thing is a dead cock iu this pit to-night. Thirty-eight miles behind Hazael. and actually soveuty far as from New York to of Howell, be can really not only no more overhaul the one than the other, but Huzael baa gained thirteen wnole miles ou him thus fur to-day. Aud Enuis, how about him? Well, bo's going well enough. Fivo minutes ago he ran up the north side of the couise at a rattling pace and amid dedeuiug shouts, aud his whole look and action are just as fresh as auy day this week.

But what does it all amount to whou he's seventeen miles behind even Weston, fifty-tour behtud Uazielaud eighty-six behind howe.l? That settles his case, lint it settles it differently from what most people expect. A largo majority of this house tomght, were the voles takeu, would not believe that Enuis can finisU better than seventh, ami that the two foreigners, Merritt ana Ouyou, ami Weston aud Hart are all sure to lead him throughout the 1- ,1... .1 arc waking a serious mistake.

Mcrritt and (iuyon, too, lung lead an they have, are far from sure to beat at any rate, liotli are going rigged, not as rugged as Harriuiau wcut late down the toriuer race, but they make you thluk ol him, while Emus is steady its a clock.

Guyou'a350 or tiiuieabouts of to-day would need 75 miles esch day yet to win, but he looks too worn snd weary to do that, oven bough he did go a little further to-day than yesterday. The rest are simply sura not to do the 5o0, always excepting the Englishmen. As ten strikes Uoweli's score still leads all the records, Weston's fastest work being 3s5.

Although the result of the great contest Is almost a forugono conclusion, public interest in it is about as lively to-ilay as it ever has bcoti. No better illustration of the trnth of this statement could be found tliau ill the eagerness of the crowds that gather hourly in front of the Hkrai.d building to sen the scores recorded on the Anthijt TcUgrnm bulletin over the msiu entrance. lu Ike first days of the race tlioso crowds were so that travel along ltrosdway from midway between Fulton and Vesey stieela to the Astor House entrance was almost impossible, certainly very difficult.

"He can shin all around those other jiggers." "Yes," sen tenuously remarked the party addressed, "lie's a good 'un," When Weston's score was post el a score of expressions dropped frmu as many lips wore anything but compliment.iry to "tbe father of long distance walking.

Mr. O'Leary stated to a Herald reporter yesterday afternoon that he was utterly at a loss to understand the Heralij's statement that Pauchot has challenged the winner in the present contest.

"He knew 1 gave It to him In such a capacity," said O'Leary, "and it's sheer nonsense to put ma aside now afier keeping my money. It can't be done and I don't intend to have any nonsense about it.

"DilU-NK OK CliAZx. a woman's complaint against patrolman and kicked nob no cause. The dismissal recently of several members of ths police force for en undue gratification of their clubbing propensities has had a marked effect upon the forco as a body: but cases attll crop out occasionally, and ono which needs a thorough investigation came to light yesterday.

The complainant is a poor woman named Johanna Donovan, who lives on the top floor of a tenement house No. 69 Baxter street, and the accused patrolman Is Christopher Qould, of the Fourteenth precinct. The officer in this instance is charged with an offence worse even than an unwarrauted use of his Is, beating and kicking two women without cause or provocation oi any kind. The occurrence, as related by Mrs. Donovan, was as Wednesday morning, betweeu ten and eleven o'clock, she left her apartments to purchase a jacket for one of her children, a store in Jimoerry street, near naysru.

coming out of the store she saw the otticer pushing a woniau along the sidewalk, and because she (lid not move fast enough to unit him he struck her several times uud knocked her down. While she wan down he kicked her sovcrul times. Mrs. Donovan remonstrated and said to the officer. "You must be mean man to strike a defenceless woman like that.

If sho has done wrong or deserves arrest why do you not take her in?" To this. Mrs. Donovan says, tho officer you interfere I will serve you iu the same way," at th6 samo time striking her three on the hack of tho head and once on the side of tho face. From tho torce of the last blow she staggered, and only saved herself from falling by grasping a barrel. While endeavoring to recover her balance tho officer, ahe alleges, kicked her iu the "small of the back" and again on the leg, between the knee and ankle, leaving marks of his foot upon her.

Mrs. Donovan never beioro saw the woman in whose behalf she spoke to the officer and does not know hor name. "She may have been in liquor," said Mrs. Donov.iu. "but that did not Justify tho brutal manner of tbo officer.
