FOoT RACEs.-As sort of a side show to
the great picnic of Professor Varney the
employees of the Mint, the boys at the rail-
road offices and the citizens in the neighbor-
hood of that locality, together with those who
happened to be i'll the vicinity were treated
without extra charge to some specimens OF
acrobatic getawayitiveness, not down on the
bills. Some enterprising sporting characters
wishing to enliven the day and at the same
time get up great fete, or get the feet up
and down with great rapidity and swiftness,
arranged an impromptu foot race. purse
was made up by the energetic efforts of Sam
Baker and others and all the preliminaries
arranged. The runners were Ed. Culver of
this city, sometimes affectionately termed by
his most intimate faiends, Smoky" and
gentleman, encased in a set of bottle green
tights, four informant is little co or blind,
they may have been blue or some other color,
or he may have been tight himself and only
imagined the tights named Caravan, but
whose stage title, running name, as it were,
is O'Brien and he lives in Virginia when not
upon the course. The course was from a
point in front of the Arlington House to a
stake opposite the depot and between the
two tracks The heat was short one, the
boys sped like gay gazells, and Mr.. Caravan,
otherwise O'Brien. got away with Mr. Culver,
otherwise Smoky, to the extent of quite con-
siderable distance and consequently got away
with the purse. So great was the interest and
so intense was the enthusiasm that another
race WAS gotten up Immediately, runners Sc
cured and another race for 500 run. We
did not get the names of the competitors nor
learn who secured the crown, but one certain
ly got head of the other and the boys had
good time over it.
The streets were we'll filled with picnicers
yesterday. Carson is beginning to look lively
and it is almost picnic enough for the resi- |
dents on barren mountains to get out on our
streets and walk under the trees, and feel as |
if for the nonce they were breathing pure
air softer "a by the verdure of-oh, how nice |
it is as il comes down through the wavy |
leaves, rustling like anything you please and
tossing the cottonwood plumes, as it were.
No cases in any of the Courts yesterday;
during the lull in the Inner Temple His
Honor the Chief Justice stepped @ut, pur
