The walking match ended last night
at II o'clock. At that time the score
stood: Won Berg. sos miles; Tourtelot.
275 miles. Miss Won Berg beat the
time made by Mile. La Chapelle in San
Francisco by a mile, and the French lady
walked on u track with only seven laps
to the mile, while Won Berg va COM.
PEELED to mako tbirty.three laps to the
mile. Madame Tourtelot made fifteen
miles better time than the winner OF the
second prize did on the long track in San
Francisco. It was Madame Tourtelot's
first walk OF six days, aud she was not
we'll handled. as her condition at the
close proved. Considering the light,
dry atmosphere on the mountain, the
distance covered by the contestants was
remarkable. Won Berg was wonderfully
fresh last evening. and walked rs though
she was just entering upon o race In.
stead OF closing one, and often went on
q run, amid immense cheering by IN q
thusisstio audience. II forced she could
easily have added greatly to her
score. As the stroke OF IL gave the
signal to the contestants that their
weary work was done, Bob Lowery
stepped forward. and, in a few sppro-
pirate remarks. presented to Miss Won
Berg O silver brick. rendered her by ad.
miring friends. The brick bore the in.
scription: "Berths Won Bsra-Chau.

Il IL a beautiful little brick. and weighs
probably $50 or $40. The first great
walking match In Virginia City has been
q decided success. and both tho ohief
performers and Mansger Blackburn will
carry away only good wishes from our
people. There wero many present last
evening. however. who pitied Tourtelot
at the end. There were laur-ls and
wreaths for the victor, and she was
blanksted and cared for. while her op.
ponent stood aroupd. with no one to
say q word to her or offer her any atten.
ton. Finally Randall threw over her
shoulders y warm shawl. aud in symps-
