INDUCED in-perhRps 1t should not be
called running when the judges permitted
1t. Ed. Mccormick deserves great deal
OF praise for his magnificent walking. Not
the least suspicion OF run could be en-
tertained, even when he was at his fastest
and sorely tempted. His fastest mile,
being connected with others, could not be
got at; but it was short OF 9:2l, in which
he made mile Friday evening.
AT the close OF the walk challenge was
given by Newark man, for race on
Wheeling Island, go-as-you.please, forone
