In the walking match at an early hour
this morning Edwards succeeded in pass
ing Mcintyre and assumed the lead, which
he has since retained, and by steady work
increased it at moor to go, en- miles, the
score then standing: Edwards, 345; Nc
Intyre, 1888; Callahan, 325; Bowman, 315;
Scott, with his score OF Sol, having been
off the track since yesterday evening, is
completely used up. McIntyre's friends
are not yet ready 10 throw up the sponge,
although their champion seems in no con-
dition to recover the ground he has lost
against q comparatively fresh man like Ed
wards. Bowman and Callahan are doing
their best. the former to gain, and the lat
ter to retain, tho third position at the
finish. Bowman is in much the best con-
dition, but Callahan's pluck may carry him
through.

for the purpose, and he left the room to
procure . larger one. While he was alb
sent five Of tie boys determined to assault
him. When he returned to administer
punishment, Weeks seized the rattan and
five boys gathered around him menacingly.
MIR. Robertson observing he was likely to
be seriously assaulted, backed toward a
crippled boy named Cokely, whose crutch
he seized, and he was about to keep the
boys at bay, when another Of his assail-
ants, &. Bergen, fifteen years Of ago, took
a heavy clothes bar three inches square
and five feet long, and dealt Mr.. Robert
son a blow on the head which felled him
to the floor. He was picked up imme-
diately afterward in q senseless condition
and taken to his room. From that time
