There were several other instances of rare pluck.—Jimmy Hunter, one of last year's heroes, was suffering from a weak ankle, but he stuck at it with. splendid determination and finished third, W. A. Watson also was very badly crocked, one of his ankles giving way early in the race. He, too, kept Jat it; he was a sorry sight coming down the finish on the grass course in front of the Race Club, but he would not ive in and he filled the thirteenth place. Then there was O Beesley, a lad of little over 16, who came on to the race course thoroughly baked and staggering blindly, bu: the boy kept to it, filled the twant second position and won the prize for the youngest competitor finishing the course. It was @ spend effort, but really too much for of his years. By way of cent M. J. Collaco, rising 60, but looking not more than 40, came in four places Tater, as fresh as when he started, spurted down the straight land as he finished, said, "Good: that's over. Now I can go paper-hunting. again." Collaco won the veteran's prize.
Scarcely known to any on the course was E. W. Hancock. He could not have been in the best condition, for he only came down frown Mukden a month ago and Mukden assuredly is not a place where men keep in training for walking matches. Hancock obviously was feeling ihe pace more than a little before he had gone half-way and he did exceptionally well to finish fourteenth. He should be marked down for a team next year. Unfortunately for the Portuguese, their crack man, F. A. Remedios, who started quite well—though at no time did the make anything like the showing of last year—eracked up altogether jin Avenue Petain on the home stretch and was unable to finish. Only quite recently he was in the doctor's hands and it was distinctly plucky of him even to try the walk.
