TIN NILS FOOT•RACII WITS yn. SINSCA INDIAN
AND TURIN ENGLAND CHAUTIONS.—Two months mince
an Indian of the Seneca tribe, named Overlent, for his
fleetness, arrived in tido country, and at once challenged
the pale faces to try their speed with aeon of the North
American Indians. Matches were made for him, and
the cofmoscenti had so great • belief in their own
champions that the Indian was won fully provided for.
The race between John White, of Gateshead ; J.
Brighton, id Norwich; E. Mills, of Bethnal-green, and
Decrfuot, for the Champion Ten Mile Cup, and £5O,
for the first man, and L'lo for the second, came off on
Monday, at the White Lion, Hackney Wick, in the
presents of between 3000 and 400 C spectators. White.
considered the fastest runner of the day. accepted the
ten-mile challenp ; so did Mills, the six-mile eliampiee;
and J. Brighton. of Norwich, the fourndle champion.
Mills defeated the Seneca Indian by • few yards in •
six-mile race at thee, ground, a few weeks since, and
the Indian last week defeated White at Salford in •
four-mile run. The competitors had to traverse 68
times round the ground to complete the ten miles.
When the word was given for the men to appear on
the mark, Deerfoot appeared in a welfekin and the
attributes of his tribe—a feather in his bead-hand, and
tinkling bells round his waist—a costume very dffierent
to dist usually worn by pedestrians of the present
period, but which gave more interest to the affair.
When the bell rang for the start, Brighton •sis found
to be a defaulter. butlltdills end White appeared ; they
are very diminutive compared with "Red Jacket."
"Off" was pronounced, when the trio started, White
with the lead, Mills second, and Deerfoot laid, and so
they continued for half a mile, when Mills took the
lead, which he kept to the mile and • half, when the
Indian went to the front, amidst loud cheers. White
then tried to recover the lead, which he gained, but
failed to retain it, and at three miles had to succumb
through AM foot giving away. The remainder of the
race between Mills and the Indian was of an exciting
character. Ever and anon Mills struggled hard to leave
his opponent, but the Seneca representative occa-
sionally shot ahead in a way which electrified the
iietatoni. There was not • yard between the tweet
seventh mile, and the Indian increased his pace,
and on coinmeneing the eighth went right away,
leaving Mills, who was evidently in pain, behind him,
and winning the day. The Indian finished his task in
fie min. 26 see.—Deerfoot, the Senecalndian,is certainly
deserving of seems.% if for no other reason than the
plucky manner in which he has accepted different
challenges. Two more matches have been accepted,
both with well.known pedestrians, one with Jackson,
who adopts the sporting cognomen of the " American
Deer,' for • four-mile match, for £25 • side, at the
Brompton Running Grounds, on October 14; and the
other with Jones, of lidington, for the same distant's,
at the same place, and for the mine amount a aide on
October 21. Too much praise cannot be given to the
English pedestrians for the manner in which they have
come forward to uphold their profession, for • man
who is named by his tribe "Deerfoot," of immense
height, and who can run a distance of ten miles in fifty-
four minutes, finishing the lard couple of miles at
his leisure, is no mean competitor.
MT BIGGEIT Satnote—The llth July was • great
day to me, for in it I caught my largest salmon. I
hooked him in the "old hole," but that does not by
any mains imply that I caught him there. It was in
the afternoon of a fine day. The son was just dipping
behind the mountain peaks, which threw the pool into
shadow, so 1 looked at my fly and at the pool and pre-
pared to cast. Holstein ley down on the !bank, as was
his wont, to look on. The fly did not please me. Another
one did please me very much, but it was rather mall,
and, worse than that, the gut attached to it was • very
little worn near the hook. Still it might hold a largish
fish, if not severely drained by violent conduct. I put
it on and cast, as usual, shove the spot. Neil mud into
it, and, next instant, out came the snout, round went
the shoulder, up went the tail, and sect a tall! But
the splash prevented my seeing it clearly. The reel
spun round, but it soon ceased. " liter flak," remarked
Halstain, in • mild tone. "Ah ! lialstain, it's not so
'star' as you think ; the splash deceived as. He pulls
quite gently—eh I—hallo !" The salmon was off across
the river, not with the usual dash, which frequently
terminates in a aerial eomersault, but with • steady,
swift, heavy drug that was irresistible—it was istpres.
sire / I felt that there was something unusual here.
and all the more prolonged Cahn succeeded. I essayed
once or twice to more him. but he felt like • rock. Then
I reniernbered that the tackle was none of the best, so I
treated him gently. I was in the habit, on hooking a
fish, of taking out my watch at the first lull, in order
to note how long it took me to kill it. I did soon this
occasion, but I did not, as J--sometimes did, light •
cigar in the midst of the battle! Soon after, the salmon
began to show fight. He ran up the river, across Um
river, and down the river ; then he dived and came
to • dead halt. lint soon he moved off again, not
actively, but very persistently. When he chose to
move, I felt that I bad no power over him whatever.
He now began to drop down the river, tail foremost,
and was quickly over the rapid below the pool and into
the next. Of course, I followed as fast as I could. "I'll
land him here, Hahtain, so be ready." I never mode a
greater mistake. Before I had done speaking, the
salmon re-commenced his crab-like descent. The head
of another rapid was neared; over he went, I following,
stumbling and splashing over the slippery stones. Just
below, the banks of the river became steep, and were
covered with bodice end small trees. "If he goes down
there, he's gone." Slowly but steadily we descended. I
began to pant, for Iliad stumbled much on the bad
ground, and the strain on the rod was very severe.
The left biceps began to grow rigid. We muse to
tree that overhang the rushing stream. To pass under
was impossible, so I darted up the bank, and happily,
eucceeded in passing the line over the top of it. Down
I went again into the bed of the river. We now came
to • quiet pool. "I'll get him here," thought I. Not a
bit of it! He quietly but steadily maintained his
retrograde course in the strong rapid: We came to •
shallow, where I tried to raise his bead and tire him,
butit would not rise an inch. It projected into the
stream, which boded round In a black foam-speckled
Pool. To go over the rock was impossible; in order to
get round it, I felt I should have to swim. This was
not to he done without • struggle. I put on • heavy
strain—the sahnon still descended—still heavier—no
fish had ever refused to admit the power of AM, and
I had caught twenty-pounders—it had no effect I
the rod could not hear more. "He must be
a twenty-six or twenty-seven pounder!" I
rushed on to the extreme verge of the
rock. The pool looked dark and forbidding;
We rapids bedew tumultuous. " Now then, neck or
