...price for reserved seats on the sides of the field will be $1.50, including admission to the grounds, while the north and south ends will be $1 each.

By the half mile mark he was thirty yards ahead of the second man, but after that Norton, Hop., began to cut down his lead inch by inch till, as they entered the home stretch, there was scarcely fifteen feet between them; but McLaughlin was too strong for him and finished first in 7 m. 36 1-5 sec., beating the old record by 20 1-5 sec. Johnson, W. A., was third...
