The Walking Match.


SAN FRANCISCO, May II. - The
walking match is still progressing at
the Mechanics Pavilion, and each
successive afternoon and evening
witnesses the decided increase in at
tendance and interest in the contest.
Schmehl walked better last evening
than he did earlier in the day. This
forenoon the pedestrians were con-
tinuing mile after mile, and hour
after hour with, seemingly, unabated
vigur, and the activity OF OLeary
appeared rs decided as ever. He
does not seem to be making any very
great eNertion, but to be waking
rather easily, orifnursing his sire 9Th.
AT twenty eight minutes after twelve
O'clock Schmehl had walked 100
miles and two laps. He then re-
tired. O'Learv retired At | I IS, A. NJ,
having completed his one hundred
and nineti,th mile. Schmehl made
his hundred and tifieth mile at 9;57
AN. The entire tiiae occupied in
walking that DIS anee was thirty
seven hours and seven minutes and
seven seconds Schmehl resumed his
walk at one o'clock, ana astoniShed
both timers and spectators by his
improved appearance and git. Last
night he placed himself under the
care OF an experienced trainer, under
whose directions he has developed I'M
expected powers of speed and enduy-
auce. He promises - aimi iSh
greatly the differ &c between his
score and that Of O'Leaiv within an
h9ur. H caught and p ssed O'LeAry
three times. There seems to be some
reason to believe his statement previ-
Gus to the race. t. the effect, that the
inst two or three days told most
heavily On him, but that after that
he improves in condition may prove
correct, and that he will pull up
strongly in the latter part OF the race.
A Oh deal of money is staked upon
the result.

tai sight, we shall hear more from this
daughter Ellen. For she, in all likeli-
hood, will be the delineator OF that deep,
still, inward life. II Is memorable that
the men who have achieved the most in
letters and in science have always had a
woman standing close beside them within
the veil, as Carl Schurz says in homely
phrase, "Handing them the bricks while
they build,' and holding up their hands
when they were weary. II has just come
to light how much Sir William Herschel
owed 10 the tender and tireless sister, who
through lifetime OF nights stood by his

who had no ambition in life but to be his

her clear vision swept the paths Of the
spheres, shrank from her own discoveries

taking the very thoughts from his mind
and translating them for the world, and
this woman is his daughter.

In regard to the merits and dement's Of

Fifth avenue were paved with the Nicol-
son pavement, are entirely worn out in
eight years, and will be repayed this
summer with Belgian stone block.
Ellsworth avenue laid with locust
block, two years down; very little travel
on the street.
Under the act authorizing the paving
OF these streets, property holders have
ten years to pay for the improvements,
and l think II is safe to say that the
wooden pavements will have rotled and
worn out before tue people have 1t paid

has been done in this city in the laying
