Murphy and Sergeant Hyde had put con- siderable distance between them-. selves and the remaining parti- cipants. The two eventual win- ners were setting a hard pace which was maintained throughout, the race.

At the end of five miles the field was still unchanged as far as the first five were concerned, but at Chatham Road, Robinson, who was atill running strongly began slow- ly to drop back, and at the corner of Salisbury Road and Nathan; Road he was 40 yards behind the leading couple, who were still go- ing neck and neck.

Nearing the post Palmer, who was obviously the fresher of the; two, put on a spurt and finished about ten yards in front of Jones- Rogers. Robinson, who made a gallant attempt to overtake the latter, did manage to pull up, but when Jones-Rogers crossed the line he held a lead of about 20 yards. Murphy occupied fourth place, while Private Jones came Ath.
