ate last evening the judges called time,
and theedghteon for theamateur
pedestrian go-asyoa-please prize started
on their weary tour around Renshsw
Hall Z
The judges were J. Ross Clark, H. g..
Walton and J. A. Hyde; the scorers
Messn. Joe Long, E. G. Dawson, Frank
Andrews and b. H. Paxson. The mu-
steal world Was represented by Messzs.
Fitschen, Mcmillan and Kennicott,
who 1t intervals made . pleasant varia-
ton in the ceaseless Emusic Of flying
feet"
The track seemed narrower than that
used in Caplice Hall, but was altogether
better, ut least In the respect that It had
few short curves. In consistency and
solidity, however, It was inferior to the
other, being newer and not built -
carefully.
The eentlemen who responded to the
call Of time were Nessrs. Hale, Kester,
buffet, Penrose, Marks, Richards,
Kelly and Clayton. OF these nearly Ill
are well-known residents Of Butte, Mr..
Kelly, the bookkeeper for the Alice
Company being . resident Of Walker
vile.

remarkably good time Of thirty min
utvs, the first seven miles In l'fty-four
minutes, there being then no decided

Marks-7 miles, 8 laps.
Dufet-7 miles, 20 hls.
Kelly-6 miles, Is laps.
Clayton-7 miles, II laps.
Richards 8 miles, 10 laps.
At this time Neesrs. Penrose and
Clayton were noticeable for the appar-
ent absence Of fatigue. The crowd soon
began to gather and continued to in
crease steadily until about II O'Clock.
The whole secret Of the success Of these
amateur walking matches, after al. has
lain In the fact that there could b no
doubt Of their entire honesty and fair
ness, each man going In to WIN rather
for the honor Of victory than with any
ulterior object in view.
