o'clock. During her walk yesterday afternoon

made was remarkably good, averaging about
four minutes each quarter. Despite the in
clement weather yesterday, the Gymnasium

pressions regarding her appearance were made.
II seemed almost impossible 10 many that a
woman could accomplish such q feat and look
so fresh Her health is excellent. aud rs she
Obtained rest during last night and this morn
ing, she is confident of success. The reason
Miss Marshall gives for walking ninety-six
quarter miles more than she at first intended
! is that she desires TO Guido all rivals, among
whom she classes Madame Anderson first. The
distance walked at three o'clock this morning
was 2,7l4 quarter miles, the 2700th being
made in three minutes and ten seconds, and
she says she will do better to-day. The public
have awakened TO the fact that the feat at
! tempted by Miss Marshall is truly wonderful,
aud crowds tlrong the Gymnasium daily.
