INDIAN LOPE WINS SPEEDY MARATHON Alfred Shrubb, British Runner, Loses Race Through Col . lapse Near Finish. FORMER RECORDS BROKEN English Runner Leaps Ahead at start and Maintains Hot Pace for Over 20 Miles, but Fails to Last. MADISON-SQUARE GARDEN, New fork. Feb. C. (Special.) In one of the most exciting Marathon races ever con tested In this clty'a greatest arena, Tom Longboat, the Canadian Indian runner, defeated Alfred Shrubb, the British runner, tonight. Shrubb started the race at a breakneck pace, beat several of Longboat's records for a part of the distance, but fell from exhaustion while still In the lead in the latter part of the twenty-fifth -mile. Longboat, stiil maintaining his characteristic lop ing stride, finished the distance alone, thus Bailing the victory. The Garden was packed by a most enthusiastic crowd, and the British rurtner was the favorite with the on lookers from the start, though the In dian had many staunch friends among the eheerere. Shrubb's pace at the start plainly exhausted him, and, while his running wes considered most re markable, it was evident that his Judgment, was at fault, and that he overdid In the early part of the race. There was some delay in getting the race started, but at 9:1S o'clock the run ners were lined up, and a minute later were sent away. Shrubb immediately flashed in the lead, and assuming a fast pace gradually Increased the distance be tween himself and the Indian runner. Shrubb's tactics soon became plain. He Quickened his pace after going a lap or so. and though Longboat ran with easy strides, it was evident that the pace was too stiff for. him. When Shrubb finished the third lap the Indian was a tl.ird of a lap behind; and Shrubb finished the first mile In four minutes, 32 seconds, the Indian slowly but surely falling be hind. British Itunner Lap Ahead. At the end of the mile Longboat was three quarters of a lap behind and at the finish of the next or 11th lap. the Indian -Just trailed astern of the -English run nr. At the end of the second mile Shrubb was leading by nearly a lap and a half. The time for the two miles was 10:1S 4-5. Shrubb's almost perfect action In running brought him the admiration of the crowd, expressed frequently in cheers and shouts of encouragement. Longboat, with his usual lpe, how ever, had a host of friends who did not seem to lose confidence as the English man drew Into a comfortable'lead. "Shrubb can never stand that gait to the end." shouted one of the Indian's admirers, and it seemed. as If this sure ly must be so, especially as Shrubb fin ished the five-mile distance In i!,:54. not so very far from the time it take to cover the distance when trained men aro running at their best. Shrubb was two and a half laps ahead at this time. Gains Grow Greater. It was noted here that while Shrubb had gained two laps in the first three miles, he had added only an additional half lap in the next two miles. Shrubb'a plan, it appeared, was to run a fast mile or two. during which he made decided gains, and then he would steady down lo a trot, apparently to reserve his wind and strength. His sprints always cre ated an uproar in the crowd, the spec tators cheering him frantically. The Englishman gained another two and a half laps in the second five miles and was five laps, or half a mile, ahead whin the ten miles was finished. The time for the ten-mile mark was 57:32 3-5. longboat's time for the ten miles In his race with Dorando was 6S:57 1-5. nearly a minute and a half behind fhrubb's time tonight. Maintaining his fast pace, Shrubb In creased his lead to six laps at the 12th mile, but the Indian was not to be wor riei out of his long, swinging strides. Near the loth mile he shook himself and picked up about 50 yards. Shrubb. how cvp continued to open the distance be tween himself and the pursuing Indian, end the 15-mile mark found the English man 6' laps ahead. Shrubb's time for the 15 miles was 1 hour. 23 minutes, 2S 4-5 seconds. Shrubb's ninning was a revelation to '.he spectators, who continually cheered the flying Englishman as he moved round the track with a machine-like notion that carried him steadily forward. . Shrubb secured an additional lap, mak ing seven laps In all at the seventeenth mile. During the running of the nine teenth mile and also the twentieth, Shrubb Placed the eighth lap between himself and Longboat. The time for the twenty-mile mark was 3 hours, 1 minute 25 4-5aseconds. Stop for Xcw Shoes. . Shrubb. In the twenty-first mile, sud 3cnly stopped to change his shoes. Dur ing his brief absence from the track Longboat gained one of his, lost laps, but Shrubb, coming on the course again, started out at a lively clip with the evl Jpnt intention of regaining the lost lap. Tom Flannagan. the Indian's old man axer, brought Longboat's wife out on the track to encourage her husband. Pandemonium broke loose in the garden during the twenty-second mile. when Shrubb came down to a walk for a few yards. It was apparent that he was In some distress, but he soon was off again with a swinging stride, though with a lower pace. Indian Gains Heavily. Cheered on by his bride and the shouts of his friends. Longboat In creased his pace and soon began to cut down rapidly the lead of the now fast tlrlng Englishman. The end of the 23d mile found Longboat only four laps be hind Shrubb, who frequently broke his pace and walked to rest himself. The tndian in the first half of the 21th mile hrought forth a hurricane of applause ay regaining another lap on his rival. Shrubb was in evident distress, and It as only a game effort on his part that kept him struggling on. Ixngboat regained another lap at the end of the 24th mile, and was now set ting the pace. Thousands of spectators yelled and cheered the Indian as he slowly moved abreast of the English man, who was now but a scant lap ahead as the pair moved on the second lap of the 25th mile. Longboat ran without any seeming distress. Shrubb fell back to a walk. Longboat quickly took the lend. The Englishman collapsed on the track, leav ing the triumphant Longboat to finish the race alone. Previous to the Marathon, the five-mile match race between Robert Hailen. or New Tork. and Mike Spring, of Brook lyn, was run. Spring was allowed a handicap of ten seconds. Hailen won by one and three-quarters laps. Time 27:20 1-5. Longboat's time for the race was 2 hours 63 minutes 40 2-6 seconds, which is nearly eight minutes behind the record made by Dorando, the Italian, In his race with Johnny Hayes, the Olympic Marathon winner last Fall. The Indian finished in fine fettle, and was In no wise distressed. Hurley Beats Griffin, of Austria. NEW YORK. Feb. 5.

The oldest horse In Oregon died on January 27 at the old Captain Kelley home In this city, where the animal has had the most tender care since the death of his old master it few years ago.

The animal was evidently of royal Indian pony blood, as he was remarkable for endurance, superior Intelligence and a gait that was very easy for his rider. Up to a short time before Captain Kelley's death he rode the pony quite often, but of late years the animal has been a privileged character, roaming at will during. the Spring and Summer, and receiving careful attention during the Winter.
