Ha Easily Defeating Knjllshnan, But the Toughs
Decide It
The local 72-hour pedestrian contest
started yesterday. It was alively affair, and
the record for 12 hours was nearly reached
on a small track. The Smith-Slavin battle
was a.disgraceful afialr. The Australian was
the better man, but blackguards prevented
his winning.
The local 72-honrs goas-you-please pedestri
an contest started yesterday in tbe London
Theater, and depend upon .It, the. first day's
racing indicates a bitter contest As was stated
in yesterday's Dispatoh, party feeling among
some of tbe pedestrians Is very bitter, and dur
ing yesterday's racing two or three ot the par
ties openly proved the truth of the statement
by causing quite a lively time on the track.
Hegelman, Golden and Herty all became prin
cipals in a scene that would ordinarily be called
a "scrap." Hegelman and Goldenbad a mis
understanding and the former struck at Golden,
and the Saratoga man responded. with effect
Then Herty knocked Golden down and tTpere
was a general sensation. However, matters
were soon brought to a normal state, but Sammy
Day and Noremac In the meantime bad gained
a few laps. The little scene was all caused by
a silent misunderstanding relating to Golden's
attendant standing on the track. At most it
was only a little burst of rivalry feeling.
LABOE ATTENDANCE Alii DAT.
The attendance at the race was large all day
and the racing first-class. Although the track
is a hard one to run on the time made was re
markable. A runner must go around the
track 30 times before a mile is covered, and yet
in the first hour Hegelman and Herty each had
nine miles to their credit The starters were:
Herty. Hegelman, Connors, Noremac, Golden,
Day, Gamble, Splcer, Siebert, Adams, Smith
and Gllck. After covering 12 miles Gamble
dropped out The pape was too warm, in fact
It was hot Manager Davis started the con
tcstants on their journey and Hegelman and
Herty started off at a lively clip. They led the
balance a merry dance for the next two or
three hours. Hegelman insisted on tatdog
first place and spurted gamely until he left
Herty a few laps behind. Connors, Bfilcer,
Golden, Day and Noremac kept the leaders
company for a few hours, but Hegelman grad
ually forged ahead, with Herty, Splcer and
Golden in close attendance. It was only the
first day, yet the leelings of the spectators
were extremely excited at times. Herty and
Hegelman made some remarkable spurts, and
little Connors was always close behind. He
was shadowed bv Splcer, whom some people
deem a "dark horse."
However, as the day wore on, Hegelman left
Herty behind and Connors took second place,
and mnch to the surprise of the talent Golden
took third place and was running well. Of
course, all the contestants were cheered now
and again, and much interest was shown in
such old and familiar runners as Herty.Golden,
Noremac, Hegelman and Day.
GOLDEN LOOMED UP.
After supper Pete Golden began to let the
people know that be. was on the track. He put
on a tremendous burst of speed, and "kept It up
until be took first place. This was, indeed, a sur
prise. The spectators were even more surprised
when in the heat of the race. Hegelman fainted.
His friends soon had bim in charge. After the
lapse of a few minutes and a drink ot brandy
Hegelman resumed his journey, but until the
finish of the day he displayed a little weariness
and was extremely pale.
Toward midnight Connors began to pick a
quarrel with Golden, and Manager Davis had
to run round the track a few times to give
Connors to understand that respectability was
demanded in tbat building. The truth was
Golden was making matters extremely warm
for Hegelman and everybody In the race.
Amid the banter of Connors he said;
"Yon doubt me."
Golden bad even great difficulty in finding an
attendant so small did his chance of "getting
into money" appear to-be. He is a-game fel
low, and when be pressbd the leaders the
question of nationality was sprung; Jovial
Sam Day, to try and pour oil on tbe troubled
waters, stopped and made the following re
marks to the crowded house:
SAM DAY'S SPEECH. ,
"Ladies and gentlemen, there's a little fuss
going on somewhere and I want the band to
play the 'Star 8pangled Banner,' and tbe man
who does not run while its b$iuc played will be
shot"
The band played, and harmony was some
what restored. Tbe racevbowever, has started
amid bitter feelings, and It will be well for the
contestants to try and kill their anger. On tbe
track is no place to show it Rivalry, doubt-,
less, is high, and the contest will be won by the
best man, because every contestant will be
given a fair show. Day went nearly three
miles ahead of Noremac, and began singing
"Oh, my little darling, I love you."
He meant Noremac, but .the gritty little
Scotchman said: "There's a day or two ahead
o' us yet me lad."
So tbe race went on until midnight, when tbe
contestants went to their rooms wearied and
exhausted, every one ot them. Herty was
looking very tired, and so were Hegelman and
Golden. The record of the leaders shows that
the race was desperate, considering the track
was 30 laps to the mile. Following was the
score at midnieht:
Miles. Laps.

Tbe freshest man, or rather boy, on tbe track
at midnight was young Smith, the little En
glish blonde, who was as cheerful and lively as
a cricket Golden was walkinc stiffly, but in a
very determined manner. Day was working
hard and Noremac was taking things easily.
Hegelman looked faint and weak, and Con
nors, who seemed in very good condition, was
walking directly behind him, encouraging him
to keep up. Herty announced that he would
just as soon walk all night as not
The best American record for 12 hours is 78
miles 1,280 yards, made by JohnDobler at Buf
falo in August 1S80. Hegelman made yester
day 78 miles 878 yards, or within 400 yards of
the American record. Considering tbe size of
tbe track it is undonotedly the fastest time
ever made in this country.

Smith and Hla Gnna" of East London Toughs

Whips the Englishman Easily,
But It Is n Draw.
1ST CABLI TO TBE DISPATCH.
London, December 23, The fight between
Fraiik P. Slavin, the white Australian cham
pion, and Jem Smith, the English champion, at
Bruges, Belgium, this morning, was the most
disgraceful affair In the annt-ls of the prize
ring.- It will result in the repudiation of Smith
by every deeent sport and should -finally dis
pose ot Baldock from the ring. Slavin was the
victim of the most atrocious foul play from the
start and althongh he bested Smith from the
commencement, the referee was afraid to call
the result anything else than a. draw. Smith
was accompanied to the place of meeting by
tbe worst gang of unhung ruffians tbat ever at
tended a prize fight which Is saying a great
deal, and there Is little doubt tbat a decision in
Slavin's favor would have resulted in wholesale
murder.
Tbe ring was pitched on an English gentle
man's grounds one mile out of Bruges, and
time was called at 8:17 a.m. Joseph Vesey was
referee. C. W. Blaklock was stakeholder.
Smith's seconds were Harper and'Baldock, the
latter ruffian being the same who seconded
Smith In the fight with Kilraln, on which occa
sion he attempted to gouge ont the tatter's
eves, a trick he attempted with Slavin to-day.
Slavin was seconded by Cosnett arid Bob Kir
by. During tbe fight Smith didn't leave his
corner, and Slsvjn was obliged to. go into the
other's corner and force the fighting. There'
suit wis that every time there was a clinch'
Smith's seconds and friends jumped on to
Slavin, and each time Jbe went down Baldock
attempted to get his fingers into tbe prostrate
man's eyes.
In tbe first round Slavin cot in twice on
Smith on the cbet and mouth, and the round
ended with a clinch and both men went down,
when tbe Smith gang closed in, 'and Slavin
rose, bleeding from tbe mouth. In the second
round Slavin fought Smith in the latters
comer afala, and was agate kieked and mal
treated. IatAetJskd rata Maria knocked
Smith down with a terrlflo. right-baad blow.
Slavin bad the best of it in tbe fourth, fifth and
sixth rounds. At the end of the sixth Smith
was again knocked down and was bleeding
freely. His seconds jumped on Slavin ana
kicked and gouged him. Smith fought better
In the seventh, but bis friends assisted him to
the tenth, which was the fairest ronnd of all.
In the eleventh and twelfth Smith was again
knocked down, and in the thirteenth and four-,
teenth bis friends did tbe most of the fighting.
At tbe end of this round Vexcy declared:
"Slavin cannot get fair play, and I call this
fight a draw."
During the fight Slavin paid no attention to
the Smith gang; but f oucht in the earnest man
ner, though outrageously treated. Once or
twice he cried to men who spiked .and kicked
bim: "Do yon-call yourselves 'Englishmen!"
ana once be turned upon Baldock, bleeding
from the eyes, and said: "Please eive me fair
glay." There was a rumor after the fight that
lavin had been shot, but this proved to be un
founded. . , .
The Victoria and Albert, the two chief
sporting clubs ot London, are already organ,
iztng a testimonial for Slavin. as much to show
their opinion of the disgraceful conduot of the
Smith gang as In admiration of Slavin's pluck.
Public ODinion here Is generally in favor of
Slavin. Smith Is permanently disgraced. Al
though Slavin proved himself the better man
and Smith was worsted from the start Slaviu
is In mnch worse condition to-night than Smith.
Parson Davies and Peter Jackson left Lon
don for Ireland to-day, en route to America,
where Davies assures me it is his intention to
make a match with Sullivan.
HBET BI K0DQHS ONLY.
Slavin Gets Back to England and Declares
Himself.
London, December 23. Slavin, the pugilist,
has arrived at Margate on bis return from the
battle with Smith. There was a good deal of
enthusiasm over him upon bis arrival, and he
