At all events the number is likely to be too great for one man to attend to, and though when so much has been granted, we hesitate to ask for further favors, we cannot help calling the attention of the authorities to the fact that Dr. Sargent's work might be greatly facilitated by the help of a few assistants...
...lead during each mile. She won by a difference of one minute and forty-three seconds, making the four miles in 22.15, - a loss upon last year's time, which was 20.44.
