To them especially is this newspaper discussion, which at best can only tend...
...thirty yards, - a large gap which it seemed impossible to close. In the next quarter Phillips and Bowie gained steadily on Benton, who seemed unable to quicken his gait. Bowie passed Phillips, caught up with Benton about two hundred yards from the finish, and, to every one's admiration, made a beautiful spurt, closing the well-won race, - winner, in 11 minutes 18 1/2 seconds; Phillips 1 1/2 seconds later...
