YVES ON WINS.
The Winding up Of the Great walls


The fourth contest for the Ashley bell
was finished on Saturday night at lO.5i
O'Clock and Weston the American is the
winner, he completing his 550th mile
at that hour with five minutes still to
spare.
From two o'clock in the afternoon
until eight o'clock, Weston, after hav-
ing been over five days upon the track,
accomplished the astonishing feat of
making FIVE miles an hour. At two
O'Clock his score stood 5O7 miles and
during the next six hours he had piled
up the miles until they numbered 536.
During these six hours the excitement
was something wonderful, and the
plucky hero of the hour was greeted
with shouts and cheers as he boldly
plodded along against time.
From eight o'clock the excitement
steadily increased, and reached its cul-
minating point just before the finish.
At half, past nine o'clock Weston had
made the highest score on record
namely SAB miles and laps-beatinp
"Blower" Browns great score of 54i
miles made in this same hall last April
The last two miles (549 and 550) were
made II minutes "a seconds and II
minutes 81 seconds. As Weston passed
his tent for the final lap he was giver
the British and American flags, which
he carried around the ring, waving
them amid the deafening cheering and
din of music.
The band first played yankee Doo-
die" and ended with Rule Britannia.
Sir John Ashley was present at Agricul
tural Hall all day encouraging the
American. He said "My bet with
Weston was that he would not make
500 miles by eleven o'clock last night,
He has, therefore won."
The profits of the whole affair will
not exceed $1,000. Weston has two.
thirds of this or $4,000 besides his
stakes. Weston starts lor New York
at an early day. Brown is arranging
already to 60 in a few weeks.
Rowell. who was present all day,
and clearly did not like the looks oI
things, also goes out to America at an
early day. Panchot returns imme
diately to complete Lis plans so that he
can enter the contest for the belt. En-
mis-, who returns in fortnight 81, 50(
cut of pocket, also enters for the strug
gle at Madison Square Garden. Mr.
| Weston breakfa fasts with Sir John Asst.
ley on Monday, and makes a farewell
speech at the complimentary perform
ancs of the Mohawk Minstrels on Tues
day, under the patronage Of Ashley.

There is much imprinted gossip in this
city over the recent settlements in the Van
derbilt family litigation. and the diiengen-
uous attempts to make the same rebound to
the credit of William H. Vanderbilt
From trustworthy source, to-day, your
correspondent learned the following facts !:
That the discontinuance of the suits was q
compromise agreed upon beforehand, and
that William H. Vanderbilt was obliged to
accept it to prevent his cross-examinotion
by Mr.. Scott Lord, Mr.. Cornelius Wander.
bits counsel. The latter had warned the
millionaire, William H., that he must ex-
pect llgid and penetrating inquiry into
his private affairs. and must net only tell
how much he was worth, but also what
speculatIons he had gained macsy
in and in what ventures he had
lost money since the death of his father.
William II. could not stand this opening
up of money bags under the eyes of the
greedy Wall street sharks, and he is under
stood to have said that he was willing to
give 81 100000 rather than have that done.
The rest was only the matter of fnesse
Cornelius was perfectly willing to say that
he discontinued the suits at his own free
will and that his brother William had paid
him larger share of the estate out of pure
magnanimity, and Mr.. Scott Lord was per-
fectly willing to say that all he knew about
the case was thst his client had instructed
him to discontinue the cults. But since

An American gentleman who has resided
in London for several years recently told
me funny story. He was one day asked
out TO dinner at the house OF an eminent
London solicitor. The daughter of the
host sat next to him at the table, and OBJ
served him with curiosity, finally making
the stereotyped remark that ''she was sup
prised to see him so white; she had
thought that all Americans were copper
colored." Soon after some questions arose
respecting our national currency, and my
friend took from his pocket some speci-
mems of our bank notes, among which was
one bearing the portrait of General WASH
ington. The note passed from hand to
hand around the table, and finally csme to
the young lady before mentioned. "Whose
portrait is that ," she asked of my friend.
"Generel Washirgton's'? ne answered.
"And who was he?' she queried. ''One of
our Presidents" cautiously answered the
gentleman, who was anxious to zee how
far his fair neighbor's ignorance would
extend. "One of your Presidents-ah, in
deed! Did he come before or after Mr..
Lincoln?"-Loadon Correspondence PhiiadeI-
