Perley, the manageress, was fasci-
mating as usual, sustaining her difficult
roles in the NEST charming manner.v
.NJames Mcmahon was the victim of
r9ther serious runaway accident We'd

Wellington's large bay horse on Pleas
INT street, when the animal became
frightened by the noise of some work
men thinning the roof of the Woods
iouse, and ran furiously. AS he turned

Mr.. Mcmahon was thrown out against

mn, and a cut completely through one
noe OF his nose. A deep cut was also
made Just above one knee, one big toe

While she was gone, Dushang went to

horse thief, Frank Emory, both

The twelve-mile running match at
Academy Hall, Wednesday evening.
together a large crowd of the
porting fraternity of this and sur
ounding towns, and was a very sue
essful and enjoyable affair. The seats
n the new stage were occupied BY a
arge bevy of the fair lex and their cs-
orts, and the ladies appeared to enioy
he fun as much as the rest. The arS
for the comfort of the spec-1
ators and maintaining order were
omplete, and reflect great CT edit on the
entlemen having charge of the race.
1t eight O'Clock the runners put in their
on the track, and were
reeted with applause. Only five en-
ries had been made, viz: p. Donnelly,
rank Buckley, Sam. Richards and
Hammond, Jr., M%iddlebury,
Z. Dudley, Cornwall. After r~eceiy-
ng instructions as to how they should
un, they were given the word ego" by
;oi. Tracy, and away they went, Rich
rds taking the lead, Hammond Sec

nd Dudley bringing up the rear. For
he first six miles the race was hotly
ontested by Richards and Hammond
or first place, and Dudley and Donnel-
Y for second, Buckley having retired at
end of the second mile. Richards
ontinued to gain steadily, however, on
hammond, aud OH the eighth the latter
elapsed, leaving but three on the
rack. Ii was evident now that Rich
rds would win first money if he could
old out, as he was eleven laps ahead
Il the other two. When Hammond
withdrew, Donnelly subsidized into a
Walk, being content with third money,
which he was now sure of. Richards
TO gain for the next Two
niles, and at the end of the tenth he

The only chance for Dudley to win
was to squirt and tire out Richards,

IN justice to Mr.. Buckley il is but fair
o state that he sprained his ankle while
practising a few days ago, and only
vent into the race at the earnest solicita-
ion of his friends. The Middlebury
band, under the efficient leader
ship of Prof. j. b. Cobb, were in attend
