The WALKING MATCH The much talked

The WALKING MATCH The much talked
OF walking match between Geo. f. Avery of
Bangor and Charles c.. Gushing of Boston,
came Of yesterday at Lancaster Hall, resulting
in favor of Avery. The match was for $500,
the distance fifty miles. Cushing gave Avery
four miles start, so that Avery had to go 46
miles to Cushings so. The start was made at
one o'clock and lasted until $50, when Avery
having won, left the hall. Cushing determined
to finish the race and kept on, he having
mile to go when Avery left. He finished at
S.33.
1t was generally conceded that each contest
ant did well. Cushing is a short, compactly
built man, and appears to make quite an eff
fort in walking. Avery is tall and of slight
build, and has swinging gait. They each
walked moderately with occasional spurts of
great rapidty. Gushing made his first five
miles in As minutes, the second five in the same
time. The first seventeen miles were made
in I150 minutes; the first twenty-five in 3
hours 45 minutes His average was nine minutes
to the mile. The quickest time was p minutes
to the mile, and slowesr IA minutes.
The referees were Messrs j. A. Green of this
city, and j. d. Corrigan of Montreal
Gushing offers to walk another match of so
miles for $1,000 side, and give Avery one
mile start. 1t is understood that Avery will
accept the challenge.

BAL MAsQUE.-About twenty -five couple of
masqueraders enjoyed themselves at Army and
Navy Hall last evening The Ball opened
about half past eight o'clock with a grand
march, during which the usual gay and fantas-
tic costumes pertaining to an entertainment of
this kind passed in review. The unmasking
took place after the fourth dance. We think
the managers showed their good taste in having
the jewellers appear in their own properIcharac-
tiers thus early in the evening, instead of hav-
ing long list of promiscious dances in which
partners would have been unknown to each 9TH
er. The music was acceptably furnished by

81 Dieu nexiste pas, . France, que veuxtu?
De quel droit reclaraer, pauvre France af1igfe, .
France quils ont vendue ct quils ont outragGe!
De quel droit reclamer, 81 null n'cntcnd nos pleurs,
lie prix du sacrifice ct DIES saintes douleurs!
Aurais-ta. DIES bourreaux sur ton rude Calvaie,
Porterais-tu la croix que lie monde revere, ~
Gravirais-tu repreuve anguste DIES sommcts, -
Atteindraistu la. cline oh. Pom ne meurt jamais,
Verrais-tu dams lazur DIES grandeurs souveraines
Les hautes verites ct les splendeu1s screines,
81 tout etait meant !! 81 ton cour bat toajours
Aux appels del gloire, aux vertus DIES grands jours
81 la patre est sainte au fond de ia pensGe,
Et relieve a rhonneur une tdte abassee;
81 lie devoir sacre tindique lie chcmin
Quun. y1ai peuple dot suiyre en- son voyage humans;
81 tn crois, 81 tn vols, 81 ton anne est ravie
Dams les Establishments dune eternelle vie,
Cest quill existe un Dieu. Cest lie Dieu crtateur,
Principe de tout bien, souverain, redempteur,
Que lie Christ Ell motTant NOMINATE tout haut son Pye,
Eft qui dit la France: o bien-aim6e, ese1e!
