PEDEsrRIANIsN AT THE CoNIQUE-Yhe
Fourth Day Of CbaiatsotlS WdLkjBg.-The walk
ing contest at the Theater CnmiQue for a
purse of $500. between Harry Brooks a pro-
fessioDal walker. and Prof. George Carlyle a
gymnast. which was commenced on Monday
sLlll continues, and they have been on their
feet now over - hours. The place selected is
in front Of the stage, and the course may be
said TO be about 20 feet long. Yesterday Car
lyle appeared to be breaking down. and il
was thought by some that he would give I'd
during the night, but to-day his con-
cltlOn appears somewhat improved. He
complains somewhat OF his feet being sore,
and when he took his usual fifteen minutes
rest (allowed in each twenty-fOur hours to-
day, there was sort of twitching of the
muscles OF his legs observable. Brooks, who
issued the challenge, has not as yet taken
ms rest, but proposes To do so tomorrow,
when ne viii be entitled 10 one hour. He
complains to-day of pain in his
lett leg, and also OF severe pain which is
said 10 be produced by an Old kidney
affection, and as he walks with slow
stumbling gait, he carries his hands on the
small of his back. He appears to be the ia
vorite in the betting. but the friends of Car
lyle are counting on Brooks losing the stake
by getting into so deep sleep when he takes
his rest Tomorrow that he will not be able
10 resume his walk. Some of those about
the COmique, however, claim that tonight
Will settle il, as both will break down before

lars bet on the result in the immediate neigh
bOrhOOd OF the COmique. Quite number of
spectators call in 10 witness them during the
day, particularly in the evenings. and among
gentlemen interested in this test OF physical
endurance.
THE THEATERS-A fair-siZed audience
was present at Ford's Opera House last
evening To see Mr.. Rollin Howard in his new
play entitled "Baffied, or COnStancy Re-
Warded,' and the female Ministries, who
appear to great advantage, and are a feature
IN themselves, as they are all handsome and
sing well. Twenty-eight of the chiefs OF the
Indian delegations now in this city, includ-
ing Red Cloud, Spotted Tail, Sitting Bull
etc, have signified their desire To be present
this evening, and che Supreme Council of
the knights OF Pythias have been invited by
Mr.. Ford.
Mr.. Belvil Ryan's performance of
"Eckles, last night, at the National Thea
ter. was most creditable performance and
ELECTED generous and deserved applause. He
was well supported by an excellent dramatic
company. 1t will be repeated to- mi ht, when
the Supreme Council, Knights of Pythias,
Will be present, and some of the Indian chiefs
now in the city.
The summer performance 40 the Theatre
tomlque, last night, was great success,
and the parlor female mInstrels, the Can
Tan Under Arrest and other special fea-
lures OF the programme were well received
by large audience.
The Faust Brothers-three in number-are
creating great furore at the Avenue Thea
ter by their expertness a. acrobats. Lovers
OF the gymnastic art should not fail to see the
here, as they are probably the best perform
erS ever visiting the city. They came direct
from London, where they nightly drew
crowded houses.
