ones in England, why bless your soul, he'll
make them English think they haven't got
any horses over there"
A New York dispatch reports Robert
Bonner as saying that the purchasing OF
Rarus has put an end to the possibility of
that horse appearing in the West. He was
never regularly entered, but was engaged
as an attraction. These engagements will
be cancelled, as Mr.. Bonner will probably
exhibit Rarus in harness with Edwin For

Miscellany.
A novel competition in the shape of a
contest between one-legged pedestrians for
the championship belt is advertised to take
place at the grounds of the Huron County
Agricultural Society, Norwalk, O., on Oc-
tober ID.
Interested parties and spectators in
Frisco are endeavoring to arrange a sX-day
walking match between Bertha Won Berg
and Madame La Chappelle Owing to the
impossibility of hiring hall, it is probable
the match will not be made.
A new candidate for pedestrian honors
has sprung up at Burlington, VT, in John
O'Meara a peddler, who has tramped over
Maine New Hampshire, Vermont and Can
ada, and has long wanted sporting men to
give him a chance. He was given fifty
mile trial recently, and is stated to have
made remarkably good time. 1t was done
in the open air. He now challenges Rea-
gan, of ST. Albans, the reputed champion
of the State.
Prof. Miller's challenge to the athletes of
England has been copied into The Sporting
Life of London, but no response has yet
been made We hold $3.50 of Millers
money on account of this challenge, and he
would be greatly pleased to have some one
,,,,t -
terms he proposes don't suit he may enter
tain such others as athletes beyond "the
streak may feel disposed to offer. By the
way Miller informs us that that legacy re-
port was true bill, and he expects to soon
receive tangible evidence of the fact in the
form of crisp notes.-[Clipper.
Some time ago we stated, authorized by
Harry Fellows that he mad withdrawn
from the prize ring but the following chal-
lenge in this weeks Clipper contradicts the
story:
THE little Queen City boxer Harry Eel
lows, who has already appeared several
times with credit in glove contests, is de-
sirous of arranging for trial of ability,
pluck and endurance with Frank White Of
this city, as will be observed from the ap-
pended communication:
"CINcINNATI, Aug o. 1879.
editor New York Clipper
DEAR SIR Seeing that there is no
chance for Mr.. Frank White and Mr.. Dick
Hollywood to meet for fight, and l not
being in circumstances to raise the amount
of money said gentlemen want to fight for,
propose to fight Mr.. Frank White, in New
York City, tor the championship Of feather
weights, under the Marquis of Queens
burys rules, the same conditions that
Hippins and Hawkins fought under in
England, providing Mr.. White raises a
purse of $500, allowing me $50 for expenses;
or l will raise purse of $500, and allow
him the same amount (S50) for expenses, if
he will come to Cincinnati.
Yours respectfully,
