MATCH.
T lime Az Hours "a Minutes 81 Seconds.

The 6O-hours' walk between Miss Bessie
Krohn and Miss Belle Sherman, which was
begun at Music Hall, Boston, on Thursday,
was finished at 11-3O last Saturday evening, in
the presence of large company of ladies and
gentlemen. Tue result, which was in favor Of
Miss Sherman, was surprise to many, who
naturally were led to think that Miss Krohn
could not but win, she being younger and
seemingly possessed of a more powerful
physique. The last two days of the contest
Miss Krohn has shown symptoms of weaken

ants took the track Saturday, Miss Sherman
bad good six miles lead Miss Krohn kept
at work pluckily, but nevertheless. her rival
continued to gain, and, at IL o'clock Saturday
night, was fully eight miles ahead When
within nine minutes of the finish, Miss Krohn,
seeing she had no possible show of making up
her lost vantage, withdrew from the track
quite weak as well as tired, with 100 miles to
her credit Her actual walking time was "A

The Herald Gays: The pluck, speed and en-
durance which the two COD testants showed,
and the opportunity gwen for the comparison
of two different styles of walking, have awak-
ened much interest. Miss Sherman is a very
dashing walker, taking enormous strides for SO
small woman, and evidently somewhat
nervous in temperament. while Miss Kfohn,
on the contrary, has Looping, easy walk, and
keeps herself very cool, as she leeds to. Both
women have proved themselves pedestriennes
of no ordinary excellence, and shown them
selves hard to beat. The audience that have
gathered to see them have been notable fer
their responsibility, and apparently take deep
interest in the contest.

A Singular Circumstance

We are informed by reliable gentleman of
the following peculiar circumstance which has
taken place on Munjoy Hill in this city, within
the week Just passed: Three boys, living as
above. ranging in age from two to four years,
have baen bosom friends and companions, play
ing in party by themselves and each striving
to please the others 10 every way. During the
fore part of last week one of their number died
suddenly with Group and his death, as may be
imagined, was sadly felt by the remaining two
AT the funeral they both, with their parents,
occupied prominent places among the circle
of mourners. showing every symptom of deep
grief at the loss of their playmate. All at
once they began to cry violently, and on being
questioned gave somewhat ludicrous answer,
saying they "wanted casket same as -
has got" And here comes in the strange Sc.
quel of the affair. A few days after their
friends burial one of the two boys sickened
and died with the same terrible disease, and at
the present time the last of the three friends
lies dangerously i'll from the same cause.
