Poor "Arab" Stout, the Seventh street whitowasher, Is a hopeless caso, too, but although ho put his big foot donu gingerly, as if ho woro walking on eggs, ho was urged on and on by tbo oolored men who aro championing him. (. tub scoiiEiis.

A piper diversified the entertainment by playing Scottish airs during tho morning, and a little guthoring of bright spirits footed off all sorts of dauoing steps to tho droning of the pipes. Between 3 and 4 o'clock a littlo divortiso-mentwas created by an English-you-know young man in a cape-coat, a painted young woman, a fifty-dollar bill and a bottlo of wine. The young poople had attracted much attention during the night. The bleach haired female had industriously chowed fruttl and drnnk champagne, wnilo the young man had unwound several goodly greenbacks from a big roll. Then he demanded of the ohiof oflhe fifty bartenders in the wiuo-room whore his chango was.

A storm ensued in which it came out that tho young man about town had given a woiter a fifty-dollar bill for a bottlo of wine and ho hod disappeared. The barkeepor knew nothing of it. Tho young man vowod that ho would return at 10 this morning and create a smash if his change were not forthcoming. Ho concealed his identity, and declared that ho would rather blow in $500 than be beaten out of a red Injun cent. Then ho and his lady retired.

The pedestrians were encouracod last night by music froio an orchestra, which continued all night long. Tho crowd of spectators was rather largor than was oxiiected until 1 a. but at this morning thero were not 200 poople in tho biz pavilion. At 8.30 a. m.

tho inon at tho time on the traok loft it. Thov wore weighed on a drop-a-nickel-in-tho-slot machine. There woro twelvoof them. Mooro, tho Philadolphian and friend of Albert, was found to bo tho heavy man of tho party, at 151 pounds, whilu Ghost Sullivan, tho wafor.was lightest, at 115 pounds. Sinclair and Hcrtv spun tho hand on tho dial around to 148 and Guerrero to 141.

Collins weighed 137; Albert, 185; Ooldon, 132; Strokel, 129; Hart, 125; Panchot, 123, and Noremao. 121. Floral designs galore woro presented to tho walkors during tho night. The fronts of tho block of huts on the Fourth avenue end of tho'Gardcu wero ablaze with decorations smile of the gifts. The Scottish piper, togged out in kilt and tartan, played lively airs for the men duriug tho morning, and at a word from Hoaglaud, tho long heel-and-toe man, they broke into A lOOyard raoe, Scottish games stylo.

This morning ha was running miles in ten, nine and eiglu minutes, and staying on tho traok constantly, lie was very much worn out at 10 o'clook, but still pegging off the laps. His rotiromont as a lcador boforo anothor twenty-four hours is discounted by tho snorts." Mooro, tho Philadelphia Manhattan," was (piito frcBh at 10 o'clock and as cheerful as a clam at high tide. Ho is an unknown comparatively.

Ho is puzzlinc the fratornity, for they luno no data upon which to ostimate his lasting powers. Alhort was still full of hopo this morning. He said; I shall put down 100 miles to-day." Albert did hisbtint yesterday and may to-day. but vet may not beat tho record. At midnight last nlnlit, the forty-eighth hour, his scoro was 2,18 miles, which was twenty miles behind the record of Charlio Howoll iu this city Fob.

29, 1882, and that was loss of flvo milos in scoro over Albert's twenty-four-hour tinio, 135 milpB, which was fifteen miles tinder tho record. Should Albert add 100 to his scoro at mid-nirht, he would ha 338 milos, which is fifteen miles behind Howell's record. Ai.nr.nT in the lhap. Fit7gorald had recorded 417 miles 1,020 yards at tho end of tho fourth duy in tho 1881 raco won by him at Madison Simaro Garden, when ho made tho 010 milos record so that should Albert uiako his 100 miles to-day, ho must do 109 to-morrow to equal Fitzgerald's record. Hut it is stated by tho pedestrians that tho second is ulways tho hardest duy of the raco and that tho third comes noxt, wheb) after tlmt, thoso who ha'xo Mood it so Tar find theinseh es in bettor condition than tho day beforo and capable of doing first-ruto work.

Connors, the littlo Englishman, retired at 2.40 this morninc, and at 9 o'clock word came from his hut that ho would not agaiu appear. Ho was too stiff to cet off his cot without help, a cold having settlod iu all his joints. Parson Tilly retired at 7.52, and spout two hours in sleep. Old-timers bay that there are in all probability five men in tho raco who will cover tho 625 miles and divido tho 50 por cent, of tho gross gato rocoipts. They namo Albert, who is accredited to Philadelphia, but whose real name is James Albert Cathcart and who lives in Atlantic City; Frank Hart, tho colored boy.

who made 505 miles in tho raco for the O'Leary bolt, Pcto Panchot, tho good-natured Buffalo postman, who has recorded 5G8 milos on this same traok Dan Herty, who once covorcd 556 miles, and Anton Strokol, tho woe-begone Austrian, who won a race in Philadelphia last May, covering 615 miles. Hart's scoro at 11 o'clock last night, 226 miles 4 laps, was seven miles better than his scoro at tho same hour in tho O'Leary race, and ho was fourth in tho raco, Albert, Panchot and Guerrero leading him. Tho attempt to decry tho management by tho (Mortcogod) yesterday, when that papor declared that tho walkers woro robbed by technicalities of tho greater part of thoir just dues. Is found to bo without foundation. Tho pedestrians havo tho greatest contldonce.

in Billy O'Brien, of tho Timet, tho chief promoter of tho race, and liavo no fear of tho result. There will bo a nico bnndlo of money to divide, but of emirso tho inside receipts for privileges and rtsorved seats aro not included in tho gross gato receipts" as any ono with an iinjauudicerl eyo can see. As to the rest, all tho world knows that two trustworthy men, backed by bonds, havo charge of tho box-office receipts for tho men. btrokel's house. All sorts of schemes for futuro races aro talked at tho Garden to-day.

W. A. Houg. laud may miiuaco a proposed six-day go-as-you-please iu tho big Washington Kink, in liochc6tr, whero thirteen laps make a milo. II.

Noonon is making arrangements for a twenty-four-hour go-as-you-plcaso raco for tho championship of tho world at tho American Iiwtituto, to begin at 11 o'clock tbo night beforo Washington's Birthday. Most of tho contestant iu tho Madison Square raco havo signified thoir willingness to compete. Tho entrance feo will bo 10 There will bo no fuko entries. Tho en-tries will close at Mr. Kooncn's ofllco, room 103, 71 Brondway, on Fob.

17. Peter J. Uono-huo will referee tho raco. Mr. Koonou is woll known in tho management of similar events, having started bevouty-threo men at tho American Institute in a twenty-four-hour raco iu 1881, tho largest starting list over mado.

Tho best record for twonty-four hours is that of Charlie Itowell, iu tho six-day raoo at Madison Squaro Garden in February, 1882, when ho covered 150 miles and 395 yards. One-lmlf of tbo gato rocoipts proliably will bo divided botwocn tho runners who cover 115 miles. A special prizo will bo given for beating tho record, while thoso who cover 100 milis but do not win a prize will rcceivo thoir on-trance feo again. Tho 11 o'clook scoro is suscoptible of these comparisons. Iu the raco of 1884, which was won by Pat Fitzgerald, be had made 276 miles at tho fifty-ninth hour.

Thus it will be seen that Albort botters him by seven miles and six laps, Panchot by four laps, wnilo Guerrero is only tbreo miles behind Fitzgerald's record. On tho other hand, in his raco in 1882, at tho satno hour, Charlie Howell bod covered twouty-slx milos moro than Fitzgerald mid nearly nineteen miles more than Albort has done. In tho 1881 go-as-you-pleaso, Fitzgerald wcut nu to ClOmilcH, histimo being 140 hours, 31 minute! and 40 beconds, while Albert has 142 hours if he wants thorn. Itowull, iu tho bamo race, not tho one compared above, finished 602 miles three minutes later. Tho chances of Albert beating Fitzgerald's 610-mile record and winning tho championship of tho world scorns to bo good, for lua attca.

tivo wifo says that he sleeps heavily during the time allotted to him for rest that hu eats ith a healthy sppotito, and that ho has not a pain savo such us come to tho joints while resting, and from bliBtors. These aches ami pains are worn off in a few miutitoB on tho track. Sinclair's foot are two great blisters, yot ho Is happy, lie trots the track at a four-aud-a-half-milo gait and laughs as ho says I havo won three bots to-dy. I made them in England. They wero first, that no English-man would win thiB raco; second, that I would beat Holes, Cartw right and Mawui and third, that Cartwright would not stay tho raco out," Ghost ftullivan made tho only fun that thero was in tho roeo by his peculiar antics.

After a short speech no capered about tho track iu a manner reminding ono of Cliim-panen Crowley. His long bead swung buck and forth like a pondulum to a clock ami his looRo-jointod less spread all over tho track, much to tho amusement of tho spectators ho cheered him on. a courAiusoN or iiecobds. Special interest was shown by tho steadfast onlookers in tho 12 o'clock scoro, for it is contended that if Fitzgerald's rocord is "hold down," by Albert tho chances aro that ho will beat the rocord of tho Long Islander at tho finish and get the $1,000 prize ottered for tho accomplishment of that feat. Tho fact that Howell's record for tho first thlriy-six hours was bettor in 1892 than Fitz-goruld's iu 1884, thus making his work tho official rocord for that time, causes much misapprehension on tho part of tyros.

At tho tlnrty-Bixth hour iu his raco, Itowell had covered 307 miles, while Fitzgerald in 1881 coverod only 280 miles, yet wont ou for eighty hours longer and beat all former rocords, making G10 miles. ports say that Albort, having followed the example of Fitzgerald, baa not oxerted himself to top Howell's record for two and ono-half days, but has managed to keep uhcad of Fitzgerald's score, Thoy say that ho Keeps in good condition at the same time, and that ho should be good to continue at the top of that rocord to the finish. Albert's score of 288 miles und laps at tho thirty-sixth hour was 8 miles 0 laps better than Fitzgerald's showing at tho same stago of tho race in which he broko tho record but it us 18 miles 2 hips behind ltowoll's 1882 score. Pauehot's scoro of 211 miles 3 laps beats Fitzgerald's record by a mile nud thrco laps. Tin: oiiost iucf.s the siioemiheii.

At noon Stout bad been off since 10.41, Tilly since 7.22, Collins sinco 10.15, Taylor sinco 11 o'clock and Koremao sinco 11.18. Noremac returned at 12 o'clock. Cox went to bis hut at 12.01. Soon after 12 o'clook Ghost Hullhan stopped at his hut long enough to simeezo bimsolf into a skin-tight, bluo-kuit blouse, on which was emblazoned the advertisement of a luaker of sporting goods. With this on ho started littlo Bobby Vint into a spurt.

Sullivan ran with bis long fingers spread wide, his hoad wagging, his long mouth opon nud bis tongue lolling out. Ho mado a queer picture Tho top of his head would bo an island bad not his ears stopped tho extension of hisinouti further. Ho Boon ran away from his big-headed little competitor, stooping clear ovor his head finally to the wild cheering of tho handful of spectators. Tho outlook at 1 o'clock was good for a big showing by Albert. Ho has not a blemish.

His feet have bean toned down and not a blister mars them. He is still in splendid form. Guerrero is getting stiff. He does not work so easily. Hart is in primo condition.
