Athletic Sports.
The item published in the PRESS of Saturday
in regard to the proposed WALK of five hundred
miles in one hundred and forty-four (not one
hundred and fortS) hours, seems TO have called
general attention to Mr.. Driscoll, and his
hackers. We are informed that responsible
men have the matter in cbarg and that they
are confident that Driscoll will succeed 10 his
undertaking, and that Driscoll himself was
never in better condition than at present. He
has made TO long walks since his walk of four
hundred miles in six days at Portsmouth, N.
H., and it is believed that he will prove to be
fully equal to the effort of walking the five
hundred miles in the six days. Driscoll made
his first walk in this city the 4th of last July.
He will, in the event Of making a successful
walk here, enter for the contest for the cham
pionship at Gilmore's Garden, New YORK, next
month. The walk here will commence March
31st and continue for one week. If we have
Portland man who can equal the New York
record, we trust that he will do it, and Mr..
DfiscolPs friends are confident that he is the
one.

Hon. John M. Bright.
washington sunday Gazette.

The present Committee Of Claims
of the House has made a fine record
for industry and careful attention to
the business referred to it. 1t in
veotigated and reported at the 'ast
session over two hundred Gases,
some of which were very important,
and involved much careful and
profound inquiry. The chairman
Of the committee, Hon. John M.
Bright, is an ornament to the State
which sends him here, and we are
truly rejoiced to see that he has
been triumphantly reelected. At
the recent election he carried every
county in his Congressional district
over three opponents, receiving a
very large majority over all COM
bined, Notwithstanding the vote cast
was light. This was compliment
he richly deserved, for no one has q
better record, or is more noted for
faithful and conscientious service.
Withal, Judge Bright bears Il spot
less character, and blends most hap
PLY the qualities of the statesman
with the virtues of a Christian. We
see that the Fayetteville (Tenn.)
Express noninates him for q seat in
the Senate, and wo judge from his
popularity at home that the position
Is not beyond his reach.
