It will not snatch any ran re Is from the brow of Hayes, who won a good race, to say that the hero or the day vjka the Italian, Dora n do. The ad miration and sympathy of every per son In the stadium went out to the gallant Italian, who. although he did not win, deserved vto win, and did more within the limit of his powers than any other man who ran. The crisis In a battle on which the life of a nation hung could hardly be more Impressive1 than Dorando's en trance Into the stadium. Ton minutes before the megaphone announced 'The runners are in night" guns had proclaimed the arrival of the leaders at the nearest station of the course; an Intense silence overhung the sta dium while the' thousands awaited breathlessly the approach of the flrst man. Finally, after what seemed to be an Intolerable suspense a runner stag gered down the Incline leading to the track. He stood for a: moment as though dazed aod then turned to the left, although a red cord had .been drawn about the track In the oppo site direction for' the. runners to fol low,. It was evident at once to every one that the man was nrartically de lirious. A equad of officials ran out and expostulated with him. but ap parently be waa afraid 'that they were trying to 'deceive htm and fought to go on to the left At length he turned about and started on the right, path along the track. Then folio wed, en exhibition never to be forgotten by any one who witnessed 1L . . FALLS NEAR .GOAL. 'The ooiora and ine number told the spectators tnat it was Dorando, and his name was on every Up, Dorando staggered on toward the rn and dropped to the ground. - Im mediately a crowd of track official and followers swarmed about . him. It was evident that the man with undaunted courage had run himself to tho very limit of endurance. - According to the rules of the race, physicians should have - taken ' him away, but the track, officials, lost In their sympathy, for such a man and for such an effort, -ifted him to his feet and with their hands at hla back gave him support. Four timet Do rando fall In the three hundred yard that separated . him from the finish, and three times after the doctors bad poured stimulant down his throat be waa dragged to hla feet and finally waa pushed across tbe Una Hla part in the race for alt practical purposes was ended when he entered the sta dium for unless he received assist ance be could not have finished.

He came in less than a minute behind Dorando, but in the excitement of the moment, failed to- get even from his own countrymen thereception ho de served. ' .. . " Happiness returned to the , Ameri can camp to-night and the officials, athletes and everybody In any ay con nected iwth the team are celebrating the great victory won by Hayes in the Marathon race. They' have for gotten ail the troubles of the past two weeks in this momentf triumph. .LOXGRpAT DEFEATED, , "Wasn't It great?" said Manager Halpln. who continued, "we not only won the big race of the Olympic games, but also got third and fourth places, and what Is more, our Indian beat the much-lauded Canadian Indi an, Longboat. Well, we can forget what has gone before, although we will always feel that we have been un fairly treated." Hayes, who carried off the race for America, naturally was very tired to night, but he gave no signs of any 111 effect from his long rugt. Hayea ran a careful race. He was satisfied to go along slowly, until he had covered 1 miles, and 'then pushed into the third place, keeping behind HefTcron until hla opportunity came on the long lev el at Worm-wood Scrubs, after a hard climb up hill. When Dorando, HefTeron and Hayes reached the scrubs, Dorando was I 1-2 minutes ahead of IlefTeraon. who In turn was 2 ,1-2 minutes ahead of Hayea Both the Italian and the South Am erican, were (imping , badly, while Hayes was comparatively fresh end still strong;.- When the American reached the level of the scrubs through which the runners made thi'lr way along cow paths, ho could see the two leaders only a short distance ahead of him, and he felt certain from their gait that they were about run out. He thereforo Increased his speed and before he was through the scrubs, he had overtakt-n the South African' and had maijoa considerable gain on Dorando. ? " ' . 1 The times taken- at the finish show how -well Hayes succeeded in making up the distance, for despite the asslst anee "glVerfHthe Italian, the "American in the mllo and a half distance from th scrubs to the stadium decreased the Italian's lead from A minutes to less than a minute, and he was strong, while his opponent wss jcompitely undone. . OTHER MEDALS WON. Forshaw, the second American to finish, and who was but four, seconds and a fraction behind Hefferon, was walking about, as fresh aa ever and suffering no ill effects from the race, to-night. Welton and Tewanlna, the other two Americans who finished, were too tired to talk to-night and Morrlsey, of the Merrcury Athletic Club, -who did not finish, would offer no excuse. It Is known, however, that he was not In the best of condition, and there was some talk of not starting, but he thought he could get through. Tho other events in the stadium were tame, as compared with the Marathon, although they added to this victories of the American team. In the pole vault, A. C. Gilbert, of Yale, and K. T. Cooke, of Cornell, tied for first place, with 12 feet 2 Inches and the gold and silver medals goto Amer ica, while t 8. Jacobs, University of Chicago, tied with Bonderstrom, of Sweden, and Archibald, of Canada, for third, with a vault of 11 feet Inchea America also captured ail the heats In the 110-metre hurdle race, Insur ing all the places In the final Of that event which wHf-be run to-morrtrwr The Americans also' won their heat In the l,600-met:e relay race.
