This exciting and long talked of affair came off,
yesterday, according to appointment, at the Bea-
con Course Hoboken. The excitement relative
to this race, in which several noted pedestrians
from England were to compete with some of the
best in the United States, has exceeded any thing
OF the kind ever known in this vicinity and the
postponement of the contest for two days. in conse-
quence of tee unfavorable weather. seems to have
added greater interest to the scene. Thousands
of sporting men from all parts of the Union have
been here, waiting impatiently to witness the
race.
Guns were fired during the morning, from a
high hill opposite the city, and adjoining the
course, as signal to the multitude in town that
the ground was in order, and that the contest
would take place at the hour appointed, 3 o'clock,
p M
Vast multtudes of people continued to cross
the river from IL A. M. until quarter before 3
P. Nj. and at the appointed hour rush was
made by the mob at varions points of easy
entrance, around the course, and the track was
in an instant full to an overflow 1t seemed for
time as if there could be NO chance for the rum
ners to take their positions. A band of horse
men was raised, who succeeded, however, in
keeping the way toerably clear.
This contest was for thousand dollars, TO be
given, in the following sums, to the fsur best run
ners in one hour: 5000 to the first, $3.50 to the
second, 800 to the third, and $50 to the fourth.
