Mr. J. J. Hayes, the American who won the Marathon race, said, in tho courso of a pross interview: —"I have trained and lived simply. I have taken good nourishing food and plenty of exercise, and I feel as fit as a fiddle still. All tho time I have avoided wine and alcohol of any kind, and I have trained so that I might feel natural and well. I did not believe in fussy dieting or coddling'.myself. I am a New Yorker, of Irish parentage. I did not in the least expect to win the Marathon race, for 1 knew that men who had beaten me were'taking part,' but I ' hoped to bo somewhere in front—that is all.'.'
