THE NEW ATTRACTION AT THE ALHAMERA.--4
The " little" wonder in every sense of the word-'
for the lady is only 4 feet 8 inches in height—Margaret
Douglas, is hastening merrily and gamely on to the coin'
pletion of her herculean task of walking a thousand miles
in a thousand consecutive hours. The bulletins announce
the performance of 192 miles, but there is no appearance °f
effort or fatigue in the champion female pedestrian ef the
world—who, in the opinion of some of the most experienced
" professors," will bring her task to the same success°
issue she did in Australia. The daily and nightly increase
in g number of visitors attest in the most unmistakeaM
manner the awakening interest of the public to witness the
little lady's performance.
