FooT-RAcING AT WoODLAND.-The Wood

ing account of the foot-race between Burns
and Ryan, the latter being the individual
who was matched against Thompson, alias
- Bentley to run for s., 800 side III this
city a few weeks ago, but did not run, ow-
ing to his hackers declining to put up the
last deposit of 81 900: The leading event
in sporting circles for some days has been
the fOot-race between Ryan, 4 Woodland
runner, and Burns, which is said to be an

passed him by a strong effort and main

done is more than the boys can divine,
but it is evident it bears heavily upon
the minds of some. Last evening it
was possible to see more than one who bet
his money on Burns standing on the street
corners, with both hands thrust into his
pockets, whistling quietly to his favorite
star. But then those who bet on the wrong
runner always have such spells
