The caption on this glass negative names four men, Meadows, Wood, Queal, and Longboat. The last name most likely refers to Tom Longboat, the Onondaga distance runner who won the 1907 Boston Marathon. The Bain News Service, a New York agency, made news photographs of athletes and public events in the early twentieth century, and its negatives were often printed quickly for newspapers. The record gives no date and no verified identities for the other names, so the link to Longboat rests on the title alone.
