Those regretted points of the course result from the negative vote of perhaps five men, while the course was taken by one hundred and thirty-eight.

At the same time Jaques began his final spurt, but the leaders never slackened, although it seemed impossible to keep up such a fast pace till the end. Instead of weakening, however, Taylor even increased his speed on the final stretch and crossed the line in splendid form. Dull ran far under the former record and was a close second. Jaques's time was the best he has ever made for the distance...
