THAT HURDLE RACE.

About two hundred persons at
tended at the Central Park skating
rink last evening to witness the one
mile hurdle race for which Mr..
Smith, the proprietor, offered money
prizes. Six hurdles eighteen inches
high were placed on the course, and
the contestants had to jump over
them. The entries numbered eight;
as follows: Albert Shubert, William
Mover, Walter Bray, John Spencer,
George Hubby, Geo. Bruins, All
Ming and Eugene Darling. After
starting Bray took the lead, Shubert
second place, Bruins third. On the
9th lap Mover took first place.
When on the eighteenth lap he
knocked a hurdle down, and Bruins
followed suit on the nineteenth lap
by knocking two down. The result
of the race was: Mover, 1st prize,
So; Bruins, 2nd, $3.50. The event
caused much amusement.

A VENERABLE BOOK.

The old chained Bible of Canter-
bury Cathedral, which has for SO
many years been preserved in the
cathedral library, is now undergoing
renovation, Dean Payne Smith and
the Bishop of Dover contemplating
its replacement in its original posi-
ton upon what is known as Gran
mer's desk, in the northeast aisle of
the cathedral. The book is one of
large size and considerable weight
and would appear to have undergone
very rough usage, probably at the
time of the Rebellion. A careful
examination shows that the cover
must then have been torn off, the
strength of at least three men having
been, it is thought, necessary to have
wrenched asunder the five thongs
with which it was fastened. 1t is
one of those known as the second
edition of Cranmer's Bible and con-
tains two very fine engravings, one
of the Earl of Leicester and the
other of Lord Burleigh. The former
portrait was very much obliterated,
but the old paper and lines have
been restored with great care and
success. The clasps and chain
fastening have also been torn from
the volume.
