GREAT Foor RACE OVER THE BEACON RACE
CouRsE. We noticed briefly yesterday the re-
suit of the great foot race which came off ON
Tuesday afternoon over the Beacon COURSE
The following additional particulars we gather
from the N York True Sun:
An hour before noon the ferry boats began to
be crowded, and from l2 o'clock until 3, as
many persons as could stand, closely packed,
ipon the decks, thronged all the boats that left
New York for Hoboxen. The 'Passao" when
she made her o'clock trip, had at a moderate
calculation 1900 souls on board During all
this time an almost continuous procession of
human beings might be seen winding along the
bank which stretches across the marsh from the
vicinity of the ferry station on the Jersey side,
TO the foot of Bergen Hill. The long black
line, viewed from the neighboring heights, re-
sembled colony of ants on foragng exredi-
tion. The more circutous carriage road was
thronged with vehicles running through all
gradations of style, from the handsome ba-
rouche and pair to the rough Jersey wagon
dragged by three horses ABREAST and the shaky
,carryall logged along by quadruped more fit
for an inside passenger than an outside slave.
Having surmounted the break-neck fight of
stairs which forms scaling ladder to the sum-
,,;t &C mil
though at a fearful expenditure of wind, we
reached the course few minutes before the
time appointed for the commencement of the
three mile race. Already the stands, including
several extra platforms erected for the accom-
mediation of the multitude, were nearly full,
where at least five thousand people were ga
thered in front of the grand stand and dispers-
ed over the course.
About 2 O'Clock the men who had entered
for the three mile race, ranged themselves in
front of the judges stand. They were four in
number: Edwin Brown, Ambrose Jackson, IAN
English runner,) Fowl and Myers. The fol-
lowing was the result.

Tenth Mile-Barlow came in first, receiving
Ythe first prize; Steeprock, the Indian, second;
Greenhalgh third, and Gildersleeve 4th; Nc
Cabe was 9Th. The tenth mile was performed
in 5.27, if we rightly understood the judges.
Barlow ran the ten miles in 81 minutes and
n seconds, which we believe is the shortest
time in which the distance has ever been ac-
compished by the limbs Of man.
The Indian, Steeprock, ran most CALAMITY
and was not more than so or 100 yards behind
post. During the running of the last miles
Steeprock gained at least $50 yards upon Bar
low, and had the race been extended another
mile, would probably have been the winner
Considering the training he has had his run
ming was more extraordinary than that of Bar
low.
Greenhalgh ran in about 60 yards behind
the Indian, and about the same distance ahead
of Glldersleeve, to whom he kept close during
the whole race, probably with view of trying
| his mettle should the other Englishman give
out or the gallant fireman attempt crush" at
the close.
Gildersleeve, whose indomitable spirit in
kspite Of severe cold which it is said affected
his lungs, carried him nobly through the race,
appeared much chagrined at his defeat. His
