reviSes the decision Of the Board. and his
disapproyal asked, which will undoubted-
ly be obtained, and thus make the action
OF the Board Of non.effect.

Another immense crowd filed Washing
ton Hall last night, pit and gallery, to wit
ness another exhibition Of physical endur-
ance, politely termed pedestrianism. A
fair sprinkling OF ladies was noticed, but
toward the end they dropped out, as the
crowd, to put it as mildly as possible, was
rather demonstratiye, and did not deport
itself as well as the crowds Of either Of
the preceding evenings did. Chris. Win.
cher, the Mercury" OF the PostoftiCe de.
partment, was announced to walk, but for
reasons "peculiar TO him" declined OF the
yery hour OF starting; but Austin Beach
and Charlie Bigelow threw themselves into
the breach, and divided their twelve miles
into four three mile heats, or six miles each;
Mr.. Bigelow made the attempt first and
succeeded in making three miles in very
good time, Mr.. Beach rushed into the
arena with Spartan air and Tapped his
fair competitor time after time to the I'M
bounded enthusiasm OF the crowd. Miss
Won Blumen, however, kept up that
steady gait and unru filed deneanor that
has won the admiration OF her Wheeling
audiences, and that has also won in each
attempt, and leaving no unpleasant re-
suits. Each mile made was watched with
eager. interest by the crowd, and at the
close the excitement was intense, the
crowd swaying up toward the ring and
rising from their seats in their enthusiasm
This was noticeable particularly in the
last twenty laps made by Mr.. Beach in bis
efforts to pass Miss Won Blumen. Mr.
Miller appeared upon the track and gave
an exhibition round or two which indi
Gated his familiarity with the sawdust
During the evening Mr.. Marsh was on the
stage, and once made his appearance or

It's disgust as follows: "our railroad pros.

element seems TO have died out. We do
not deserve railroad, because we are not
willing to do anything to help on the en-
terprise. We won't help ourselves, and
therefore have no right to ask others TO
