The pedestrian fever has broken out here with
much virulence characterized its course in other
cities. To Miss May Marshall, female pedestrian
from Chicago. may its source be credited. On Janu
AIRY ~, half-past eight +. NJ, she commenced the
feat of attempting Nine. Anderson = feat of walking
2.7O0 quarter miles in as many quarter hours. At
the there little interest taken in her per-
formanccs. but as she pluckily kept on her weary
journey public attention was aroused, and at the
present writing the scene of her walk is hourly
crowded with spectators. At GALS this morning Miss
Marshall had walked 2352 quarter miles in the time
required, at average Of four minutes TO the quar-
tor mile. On Monday, at III 80 L. NJ, she will
complete 200 quarter miles; but, desiring to make
the largest walk record in this country. she will
continue her walk twenty -four hours longer making
her walk totally 27g6 quarter miles. II she is then
in good condition she will attempt to complete the
even 900 quarter miles There is scarcely any doubt
but what Miss Marshall will DO successful in her = 96
qtiartcr-nile walk. Her condition is good and the
pluck she has already evinced shows her to be n
woman of remarkable endurance. Her attendance
il of the best. Three baths of whiskey and water
given To- her daily, and she is carefully rubbed
down each time before going upon the track. Her
diet consists OF meats. soups fresh vegetables. cho-
colate and tea. Anything of saccharnc nature is
rigidly excluded. Three times day her clothing is
entirely changed and her stockings every hour.
ceived there is not sign of a blister her feet.
At tho commencement OF the walk Miss Marshall
weighed 100 pounds; her present weight is III
pounds. Her pulse is regular. and she is still fresh
and determined. At times during the night she
sleeps soundy while going around the track, an at
tendant accompanying her to guide her and prevent

THE BROADWAY RAILROAD.

1t would appear that the project contemplated by
the Broadway and Seventh Avenue Horse Car Com
pany, of running their cars on Broadway. from
Fourteenth street to South ferry, has been most
favorsbly received by owners of property along the
proposed line of continuation In conversation with
representative of the corporation above named, and
who has Deon engaged iii the work of obtaining the
signatures of conscnting real estate owners on Broad
way. HERALD reporter yesterday ascertaincd that
the scheme meets with nearly universal acceptance.
An exception to this almost general acqutsccnco
WAS found i'll the person of one property holder. who
opposed the project on the ground that ho wanted 10
an elevated railroad constructed i'll Broadway.
The horse company alluded to has been agrecably
surprised to ind an almost unanimous approval OF
tie proposed route on the part of property owners
ON broadway south OF Canal street. where they had
anticipated considerable opposition. The business
of obtaining the signatures of those favoring the
construction of the proposed road Is understood to
be progressing RAPIDLY.

AT BREWSTER HALL.

Brewster Hall was crowded all last evening as in
addition the lady walkers the rather novel feature
of a six-hour walk between two National Guardsmen
was advertised to commence at six O'Clock. In con-
sequence of the extra attraction extra admission
fee charged for the National Guardsmens part of
the entertainment which, however lost its interest
through the fact that General Sher issued orders to
prevent the walking i'll their uniforms and equip
mcnts. This reduced the affair to walking match
OF a rather mediocre nature, as neither of the men
were much above the average strength of amateur
pedestrians. The first twenty five miles were made
by Cahill in All. 52m., with his opponent. Ritschy.
about twenty-eight minutes later At eleven O'Clock
their score stood as foows:-McCahill IS "a miles;
Rtschy, "a IA miles. In the meantime Miss Bartell
Miss Loomcr attracted the majority of the spec
tators to their track the first hoor During the
evening they presented with two handsome
bouquets. At midnight Miss Loomer had scored COS
quarters and Miss Bartell 3D.
