A-SIDE.--Yesterday several thousands of the admirers
of pedestrianism assembled at the White Bear Inn, on
the Bradfield and Wakedeld road, Leeds, to witness the
important match of 130 yards between these provincial
sprint runners, Cawthorne being the favourite at 60 to
e
40. The pedestrians bad to start by mutual consent,
and after some false attempts they get off, and ran wel

a portion of which is probably on French account.
PROVIDING FOR THE FUTURE.—M. Boulanger, judge
of the Imperial Court of Paris, who lately died at his
residence, No. 3, Rue d'Alger, has, it appears, left not
fewer than 95 wills ! As he was of very parsimohions
habits, he wrote many of them on the b ,cks of letters,
tradesmen's bilk, and prospectuses. Not a few of his
legatees are perfect strangers to hun, be baying selected
them from amongst persons mentioned in the newspapers
as having distinguished themselves by acts of virtue or
devotedness. In one of his last wills he expresses the
desire that his family will not attempt to
dispute his
bequests. A singular circumstance is related of the
deceased, Re himself wrote letters to his executors and
most intimate friends, announcing his death, with the
day of his decease left blank ; and he ordered his servant
to fill up the vacant space the moment he expired, and
to despatch the letters, which was done.
