DEERFOOT IN DUBLIN.

Deerfoot, with Martin, his trainer, Mills, the six-mile
champion, and Nevin, the 440 yards' champion, left the
Moira Hotel, Dublin, on Tuesday, the Ist inst., for the
Royal Hotel, Howth, where they remained alternately
enjoying the luxury of sea-bathing and walking the hills
around the locality, which is one of the most picturesque
and healthful in the county of Dublin. We regret to say
that Nevin struck his knee against a jagged piece of rock
while in the sea, and injured it so severely that he was not
able to take his part, as contemplated, in the race to-day;
and ho fears that he will be incapacitated for active exer-
cise for some time to come. Deerfoot appears as much
at home in the watr as a dolphin, and to enjoy himself
amazingly. He presented a singular appearance on emerg-
ing from the water, his skin having changed from a
copper colour to a flaming red. He ran up and down the
hills as actively as a cat, and evidently appears much more
at home in the country than cooped up in town. He held
a rare levee for the country " yokels," and was loudly cheered
on his arrival and departure from Howth, the railway sta-
tion being crowded on both occasions with lookers-on. He
weighs at this time exactly list. 61b., and can touch
the standard when indicating sft. 111 in. Mills weighs
Bst. 21b. ; height, sft. 41in., and is about 20 years of age.
He is matched to run John Brighton, of Norwich, for £25
aside. Levett weighs 9st. ; height, sft. Gin. The handicap
race at Kingstown, which was intended to be run last
Saturday, between the abovenamed men, did not come
off, and the match which was made for Deerfoot to run a
gentleman amateur on Thursday, the 10th inst., is off by
consent, as Deerfoot is slightly suffering from a sprain in
the tendons of his right foot; therefore Martin, his trainer,
thinks it advisable to take him to London forthwith. He
accordingly sails in the Hibernia steamer to Holyhead this
evening at 9 p.m., whither he will be escorted by Mills,
with Martin and some private friends, Nevin accompanying
them as far as Chester, whence he proceeds, via Liverpool,
to his home at Manchester. There was a field-day of the
troops stationed in Dublin in the Phmnix Park on Mon-
day morning, where Deerfoot was escorted, in full cos-
tume, on a car, and, as may be supposed, he came in for a
full share of attention from the crowds there assembled.
The day was very fine ; but shortly before the time adver-
tised for the start (4 o'clock), the sky became overcast, and
seemed as if about to pour down. heavy rain. It held up
fair, however, and at 4 p.m. the vicinity of the Rotunda and
its approaches were crowded with people of all grades, and
by the time preliminaries were arranged there could not be
less than from 7,000 to 8,000 people in the gardens. The
course had to be traversed 74 laps to complete the 12 miles.
At 17 minutes past 4 Levett, who received three minutes'
start, was started by Mr. Drinkwater, and when his "law"
was expired Mills and Deerfoot left the scratch abreast, the
light and graceful action of Mills contrasting strangely
with the heavy rocking gait of the Indian ; the latter, how-
ever, went to the front soon after starting, and kept his
lead to the ninth lap, where Mills shot to the fore like a
rifle ball, and went rapidly ahead to the completion of the
second mile, where he was 35 yards ahead of Deerfoot. At
the 26th lap he had increased the gap between himself and
the Indian to about 50 yards, was soon at the heels of
Levett, and shortly after gave the latter the go-by. Levett
here began to flag, and this gave the Indian an opportunity
to come up to his heels, and, shortly after, to pass him, but
not without a struggle on the part of Lovett, which proved
too much for him, as it brought on his old enemy, the
stitch in his aide (which caused him to succumb after run-
ning the same distance as last week), and at the 37th lap
(time, 32 min.) he dropped into a walk, evidently suffering
acutely. Meanwhile Deerfoot had overtaken Mills, and
after running with him shoulder to shoulder for the length
of a lap, the red man shot to the fore in a tremendous
spurt. He could not, however, shake off the " little 'un,"
who gamely kept at his heels until the fortieth lap, when
the six-mile champion again went in front, amid the
most vociferous cheering, and "Go it, little un. I" All
this time Lovett was gamely toiling on in the rear ;
but after running seven miles and a quarter (time 39 min.
5 sec.), the pain in his right side again seized him,
and he was compelled to give in. Soon after this the
Indian put on another of his peculiar spurts, and again led
the van for another lap, when Mills went up to hisshoulder
and the two ran abreast amid tremendous cheering to the
end of the ninth mile (time, 47 min. 16 sec.), when Mills
took the lead; but the wary child of the woods kept close
in his track, al though it was evident at this period that his
lame foot began to be painful, his limping being quite evi-
dent, but still he kept up his long lopping strides. At the
58th lap he once more spurted in front, but Mills would not
be left behind, and at the 60th lap the " little 'un" again
took the premiership, and kept it once round. Deerfoot now
began to force the pace, and Mills, nothing loath, accepted
the challenge. The superior bottom and condition of the
men now became the theme of the most unqualified aemi-
ration and surprise to the vast assemblage, for they ran at
racehorse speed for half a lap. The Indian, however, wore
the longest, for when Mills had nearly completed 66 laps
(nearly 11 miles) (time 59 rain. 25 sec.), he staggered, and,
reeling into the crowd, was caught in the arms of Topper
Brown, who carried him to his tent, The populacenow came
rushing from the upper ground on to the arena and course;
but the red man, having eight more laps to run to win the
race, gave one ringing war-whoop, and, drawing-a flagstaff,
ho gave it a tomehawk swing, and, clearing his way through
the crowd, continued his journey to the end, completing the
12 miles in 1 hour 5 min. 6 secs., to the surprise and admi-
ration of every beholder. Mills recovered and was none the
worse, and Levett was soon himself again. Deerfoot was
loudly cheered on his way to the Rotunda Tavern, where
Nevin applied himself to the humane business of rubbing his
lame foot with a lotion composed of a decoction of herbs,
made from the recipe of a " Great Medicine," who supplied
him with it before he left his native wilds. The vast concourse
of people collected outside would not, however, be satisfied
until the three competitors appeared at the window, when
they received such an ovation as can only be given in Ire-
land ; cheer upon cheer succeeded each other, and closed
with one long loud outburst of a delighted people, who are
ever grateful to any one, from any country, who can supply
them with the means of an hour's genuine recreation and
the opportunity of observing true manhood, as developed in
such a race as contested by three such gems of their profes-
sion as Levett, Deerfoot, and Mills. The following is the
time, kept by Mr. E. Drinkwater, of Kingstown, who offi-
ciated as referee and starter :
