'And you?" I asked
"Uli, I've studied Marathon running
for four j ears." 11a yen admitted. vl've
run throe at Hosion anil one at Von

Bav race, which Is only l'j miles. I
ouKht to he a (food Judge of pace. I
alwavs study tlie other fellows care
fullv'. and I come, pretty near telling
what they can S4 and regulating my
own pace to fit.
"Wo etudled 11 the condition!- In
England. We did our training very
carefully and lost no Bleep over the
stories about the terrible pace the Eng
lish distance- runners would out out.
Mike Murphy was with us. and we knew
we had the best advice, anyway. There's
u man who Is entitled to a lot of credit.
Mike ought to have the biggest loving
oup that there Is In the market, and
they ought to put him In the hall of
fame. lie surely did a lot for us over
there.

Ban Trial With Indian.
"Mike let us run a trial race of about
3 5 miles. The Indian, Tewanlma, won
that. I was a minute or two behind
J used my natural pace, and I felt sure
that the Indian ran too fast to keep
Jt tip over the long course. If he could
have kept It lip I would have been Kind
at that, because he carried the flag. too.
"One thing that cave us a lot of
confidence before the race was a trial
the English had. iuncan. the best man
of the Englishmen, tan 10 miles with
the harriers. They have some good
men, but Duncan went out of sight
ahead of the bunch between eight and
. nine miles. As soon as I heard that
I felt sure we had tbem. Duncan's pace
was too fast for a man training for a
: Marathon. I knew he'd try the same
pace In the big race, and 1 knew that
no living man could stick It out and
finish well Rolntr like that. So we kept
plug-Kins' on with our work.
"The day of the big race was' pretty
hot. We -had formed in four lines in
the grounds of Windsor castle. There
were about SO of us starting, men from
all over the world. The Princess of
Wales fired the starting pistol. No,
he didn't hold it. 8he pressed a but
ton, they told me. I didn't see that
fiart of the fun. I was too busy thlnk
ng about the race. I was In the third
line from the front. Of course It didn't
make any difference about that. We
were close enough together for such a
long race.
"The rood for a mile or so was all
v. cobbles. Rough going, but a fellow
floesn't give a whoop about that when
he's fit. I didn't care how rough It
was, so long as the others had to cover
the same ground. It was hot, too,
but It was just as hot for the others
t as it was for me. Everything was a
fair field and no favors in that race.
English start Fast.
' "The Englishmen started off at a
. terrible clip. That was Just what I ex
pected and It didn't worry me at all.
I set my pace and paid no attention to
anybody else. It wouldn't have made
me change a step if they had all run
away from me at first. I had it 'all
scientifically figured out. You've got
to be scientific in a Marathon. You
have Just so much power and endurance
to spend In a little over 26 miles, and
you've got to fix your own pace so that
you get out the best average speed for
the entire distance. You must have
just enough left at the finish to make
a spurt if it is close. A mun In good
condition can run Indefinitely at a cer
tain clip without feeling anv mrain at
all. but if he exceeds that speed midway
he'll break down. You run a't that
pace until you reach 22 miles. If there
aren't any kinks In vou then you can
gallop the rest. of the' wav.
"The Marathon road went over all
sorts of ground. It was n winding road
part of it fine, smooth Rurface like
a carriage drive. Five miles out from

"As we neared the Ptadium the

lo xne cnurse, leaving Just room enough
for our elb.-iws;;to swing without hitting

"No not a sign of trouble anywhere

solid roar of cheering Of course they
were eheerlmr juet as hard up ahead

toward tha other end at tha track. All
of a audden the yelling almost stopped.
I ran across the ryclti path and turned
to the left to makn tha last tOO yards
on the running track. Ahead of me
there was a crowd on the track, Th.
crowd was bunched up. Flrat they'd
stand till, then all push ahead for J
few yards and stop again. Cameron,
who came In with me, yelled: "Jlun!
Kun! He hasn't finished. Run like

"With S0l varda to go I spurted for

track push ahead rapidly, stop, gather
together and puah ahead again Just
like a football rushllne shoving the
ball over for a touchdown. When I
came In IKirandn was down about 126
yard from the finish, He was doo
tored and revived and pulled up to his
feet and shoved along by the officials.
They got him to the line Just ahead of
m and dropped ntrn across n.
"As Iorndo finished they had a
stretcher ready to carry him orr the

Then I turned" and walked back. Mutt

right'
"I was almost, sorry to see Dornndo
unable to finish ufter running th game
race he did. They, told me afterward
that the Italian was all In after th
20th mils from the terrible pace, but
he stuck It out until he fell uncon
scious, and couldn't ftet up again. He
would have stayed down after the first
fall lnsldo the stadium hut foe the
stimulant and the assistance given him

have finished alone. That's what made

creasing the pace with every mile, and
I knew the others must be falling Yet
I ran and ran without getting a sight
of anything, but waving arms and flags
and surging crowds that closed In ahead
of me and then opened as I came to give
me a fair lane. Those other two fel
lows were surely game. I heard after
ward that after Dornndo made his great
effort outside a mile or so and got by
Hefferon he began falling down and
staggering op again when they helped
him up. Talk about gameness. What
I did was nothing to that, for I didn't
feel distressed at all. It didn't hurt
me to run. I had saved myself for this,
and I was going at a mile- run clip now
without wracking.
"At last I got Hefferon. The poor
fdllow waa staggering. His legs were
umping u? and down mechanically,
ut he was hardly getting out of hi
own tracks. I didn't turn my head as
I went by at full speed, but I saw
that he was too far in to make any
effort to tail on to the procession. Too
bad. too, for It was only about 125
yards outside" the Stadium gates.
"Dorando was nowhere in sight. I
felt for a moment that the race was
lost that he had finished ahead of
me after all. Hut I never let up. I
tore on in the Stadium. I'll never for
get that sight, for I was still fresh
enough to take it all In. About 90.000
people looked like two or three million

Deer Breeding Irofifahle.
From the Baltimore American.
"The business of raising deer as a
matter of profit may sound strange, but
there are a number of people in various
parts of the country who get lucrative
returns from their herd'." said W. O.
Adams of Washington. D. C.
"A friend of mine began raising deer
in the District of Columbia over SO
years ago and has made money !n their
pronagatlon. For his bucks he gets $50
each and the does bring tin. Peer will
eat almost any kind of grain or grass,
even preferring the rankest weeds to
the choicest hav. Thev should always
have an abundant supply of clear, run
Titnr water. About the greatest item
of expense connected with raising deer
is the cost or fencing
better fitted for this responsible posi
tion than any member of the club who
could have been selected, being demo
cartlc, public spirited. a thorough
sportsman and accustomed to enter
taining on a large scale. With a rec
ord of having made a success vf every
public function with which he has been
connected. Mr. Ludd's efforts In this
event are assured.
Tills week will witness the homecom
ing of practically all of the Hunt club
members who have been away on va
cations and a meeting will be held thU
week to complete final arrangements
for the show, after which Chairman
Ladd will be in a position to outline
his plans for entertainment. Many boxes
have already been engaged. supper
parties planned, the season promising
to eclipse last year's In all features
of entertainment and hospitality. F.
W. Leadbctter and II. L. rittoek are
among the latest to engage boxes. Theo
doro H. Wilcox has taken a double box
and will be. one of the most elaborate
entertainers of. the horse show week.
There will be a'number of Portland
parties In attendance at the Seattle
horse show this week, which will in
clude the families of the several ex
hibitors and a number of the Ht(nt
dub enthusiasts. Mrs. A. S. Norton
will (jo over with a party, and the "VV!1
coxes, Lewises, Flanders and Aihs
worths will all be box occupants.
The Chicago Cubs have regafned a

(By Walter a. Scbultz, Counsel Connec
ticut Automobile Association.
In view of the fact that several
states are contemplating changes In
The fawns are i their automobile laws for the purpose of

mer. Pocs. as a rule, have but one L, T .
niguwaya aiiu, hi uir; same ijnic, b'vii1o
tho reasonable motorist his Just dues
an Interview with Walter S. Schultl,
counsel for the Connecticut Automobile
association and the man who drafted the
present Connecticut automobile law,
which is considered a very sane statute,
Is timely.
"Limitation of speed," said Mr.
Schultz, while at tlie headquarters of
the American Automobile association,
437 Fifth avenue, New York, ' was tlie
sole purpose of our earlier statutes, next
the Identification of the car was con
sidered of Importance, then the control
and responsibility of the Individual op
erator became the main object of the
law. The time is not far distant. In
my opinion, when revenues will be the
chief. If not the sole reason for auto
mobile legislation. The fact that high
powered cars seriously Injure the roads,
make It necessary to eoflect an amvle
revenue from nufomobyists and apply
this to tho maintenance of present roads
and new ones.
Four Point! to Cover.
"There are four points which the
model law must cover, via: proper Iden
tlfb'jitlnn. eontrol of onerator. reckless
j driving: provisions, and a clause which
i will prevent the establishment of traps
where the law abiding motorist a are
I caught, on technical violations and
'through wnicn tne speed maniacs eaeny
I escape In their high-powered machines.
Aiy personal opinion la mar me ex
amination of drivers, either profeisional
or amateur, avails nothing and la only
a needless expense to the state. In
deed, I believe statistics will bear me
out when I say that the great majority
1 J - .. V. . .- .
i driving of experts rather than from I
the Ignorance of novices. I do not think
we should make any distinction between
private operators and professional
chauffeurs. No reasonable person is
going to engage a chaffeur until he 1
satisfied that the applicant can operate
a car and If the chauffeur's license is
annual while the amateur's is goiid
until revoked, the owner will pay the
fee In both cases. With a proper min
imum age limit, it seems to me perfectly
safe to license any applicant with the
f rovlso that, his license will be revoked
f he proves himself In any way un
worthy of the privilege granted.
Public Sentiment Opposai.
"Public sentiment Is opposed to all
?orms of hlgrhway robbery and In nliv;
cases out of It), a speed trap Is operated
for no other purpose than to catch a
driver and hold him for a technical vio
lation. Each day is becoming more
apparent that the only true test of
proper operation la to determine th
speed at a particular time, and to tnj
Into consideration the width of the
highway, the amount of traffic, and the
number of pedestrians and the houses
along the highway.
"The Connecticut law. which has
proven very satisfactory to all classes
of cltltens and to visiting, as well as
resident motorists provides that no
person shall operate a motor vehicle on
the public highway recklessly, or at a
rate of speed arrester than Is reasonable
and proper always having a regard for
other property and for life and limb.
Convictions Difficult.
Convictions under the new law have
been secured under difficulty. In cases
where -the operation of the car was im
proper, and the Connecticut autnorities
are holding the reckless In better re
straint than they are held In any other
state where the automobile laws are
based upon speed limitations.
"An " hatrit of each conviction Is
furnished the secretary of atate and In
flagrant cases the secretary of atate has
the power to revoke the license of the
driver. It Is significant that up to this
time, none of the reports '- Worn the
courts have recommended sutn avtlon
on the part of state officials.
"A very Important feature of the
model law Is the fair and liberal treat
ment of nonresidents. In Connection!,
nonresidents are admitted for a perlol
of not more than lrt successive days
provided, of course, they carry a license
from the states from whence they come.
"As a revenue. It seems to be reasonable-to
suppose that the nutomohlllsts
can' afford to bear the burden of the
reasonable check provided he Is not un
justly hampered In the use of his car.
and also feels that the money which
he pays Is to be used In maintaining tho
roads. With their constant Increase In
number., the power ot' automohillxts to
properly Influence legislation Is enor
mous. If the state automobile associa
tions and the local clubs will work sys
tematically to secure simple and uni
form automobile laws, the remaining
barriers between states will soon fall
away and petty and needless restrictions
upon the proper operations of automo
biles will disappear!''
A Threc-Ont "Coin."
From the New York Sun.
A traveling salesman Just returned
from a western trip pulled a handful of
small aluminum circlets from hts
pocket. They were the size of a nlekfl
and the hole In the center waa a quarter
of an Inch In diameter. On one side
was "Municipal Traction company" and
on the other "3-cent ticket 1908."
"I Just spent a few weeks In Cleve
land," he explained, "and these are the
tickets for Tom Johnson's 3-cent street
rallwav system. They are not only good
on street cars, but have added a new
coin to the currency of Cleveland. Ton
can spend 'em In stores there Just the
same as the obsolete 3-cent piece. Buy
a paper of a newsboy, hand nlm one of
these and he'll hand you a paper and 2
cents change without question."
