Walking Match.

The audience who gathered at Gtauite Hail,
Saturday evening, to witness Shea and Taylor
walk 25 miles for purse of $50. would have
joyed the contest better had there not particularly
in the las, part of the walking, been such a hub
bub and general sorder. The police did their
best, and i, was owing to them that nothing of a
serious kind took place The started at
about 100 both in good condition. Shea by
spurtug managed TO gain lap on Taylor IN the
first mile, and this distance the latter could not
overcome. Up to the oath mile Shea still
lap ahead, and apparently 10 better condition than
his opponent. Upon this mile some fine spurtirg
took place. during which Taylor fell and his
manager claiming foul from Shea, he (Iaylor)
left the track. Shea kept on, and coDp ted The
25 miles. But the referee did not see hi to give
the purse to him. and announced to the aud ence
that he would not give his decision that night,
amid Kisses from some portions OF the audience.
The walking OF Shea has hardly ever been equal
ed IN Granite Hall, he appearing nearly a fr,sh
at the close of the 25h mile al the start.
