The Foot Race at the Springs.


Some four or five hundred people
gathered in the spacious pavilion at
San Pedro springs yesterday to wit
ness the contests pedestrianism that
had been arranged, a larger num-
Der of ladies being present than on
last Sunday.
The first race was three mile, 90
as-you-please contest, for silver
goblet as prize. Only two men, Hill,
a sport from New York, and soldier
named Rogers, entered in this race.
Rogers attempted to do the whole
thing at once, and as result he
wlnded himself after going only one
mile and five laps, Hill, however,
went ahead and made the three miles
in rs minutes and % seconds.
The next race was five mile go-as-
you-please. Mr.. O'Leary, who offered
the prizes, as there were only two
competitors, declined to let the race
take place unless four men took part,
but finally consented to three-hand-
ed race. The contestants were Pri-
Yates Conway, Murphy and one of
the principals to the coming prize
fight, who took the assumed name of
Johnson. The start was made at
seventeen minutes past four. the con-
testants holding together very even
ly during the first mile which was
made with Johnson ahead in IA
minutes, Murphy forging ahead and
making the second mile in nine min
utes. Conway took squirt, and made
the third and fourth miles ahead
of his competitors. Murphy here drop
ped out and Johnson was apparently
not caring whether he won or not,
dropping awav behind during the
fourth mile, but as Conway began to
show signs of WEAKNESS Johnson
livened up and rapidly gained on
him, Conway giving up on the elev-
enth lap of the fifth mile, being three
ahead and finished the five miles in
Al minutes and 81 seconds, gaining
the first prize.
AS the two men Hattis and Regain,
who were to walk five miles each
while O'Leary made ten, failed to APP
pear, that feature of the programme
was declared off, and O'Leary started
on the race against time alone. He
had been in training during the past
week, and seemed to have laid on
more flesh. The start was made at
$40, the first mile being made in
eight minutes. During the second
mile he ran against burly individ-
ual who was crossing the track and
sustained a dig in the ribs that
knocked him out of wind, causing
him to give up the race after the first
lap of the fourth mile.
O'Leary is in no hurry to leave San
but will probably arrange
other matches. One man talks of
meeting him in heel and toe cont test,
if O'Leary will walk ten miles to
eight and half.

Secretary.

A TOUGH CITIzEN.-On Friday last
a person whose history and character
are now better known hereabout than
they were week ago, hired horse and
buggy from Mr. Eglin, stating that he
intended to 60 to Philomath and re-
turn the same day. The rig not hav-
ing been returned at the time agreed
upon, Mr.. Eglin started out on Satur-
day to discover the reason and found
the track of turnout that answered
the description of his in the neighbor-
hood of Smithfeld. Finally on Tues
day he found his horse and buggy
about thirty miles east of Eugene on
the military road. The thief had for
merly been in the employ of the Singer
S. M. Co., and in the neighborhood
where the rig was found he had under
taken to collect a bill due the COM
pany, whereupon the party approached
showed him letter stating that no
bills should be paid to him and that
the company intended to prosecute
him as soon as found. He had aban-
doned the horse and buggy presumably
in order to better make his escape.
His name is Frank J. Peck, but has
number of aliases; is an ex-convict and
is pretty good allround scoundrel.
The Singer Co., as we'll as Mr.. Eglln,
is looking for him and, there Is little
doubt that he will again serve the
state IN the capacity for which he be-
came fitted while at Salem few years
ago.
The publisher of the GAZETTE was
very agreeably surprisad last Wednes-
day by receiving call from J. Z.
Cook, an old chum and school mate of
We editor, it being the first meeting in
fifteen years. Many fond recollections
of school days, and of school mates
who are scattered to all parts of the
world and some who have passed to
another world, wels brought back
fresh to our memory in the converse
ton that followed. Mr.. Cook is
travelling for D. M. Osborne q Co., of
Portland and San Francisco. This
firm is among the most extensive
dealers in agricultural implements on
this coast.

CIRCUIT JUDGE APPOINTED.

M. L. Pipes, was appointed by
Governor Pennoyer on Tuesday last,
to the circuit judgeship of the second
judicial district of Oregon to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of
r. S. Bean, who has. just been elected
judge of the supreme court. The ap-
pointment wasa surprise to many in
this county as there were several DEM
ocratic asparants i'll the district for the
place, the most prominent Of whom
were supposed to be Hon. John Bur-
nett, of this city, j. w. Hamilton, of
Douglas. But it seems as if the gov
ernor has been little ungrateful in
this appointment, especially towards
Mr.. Burnett, who has on all occasions
during the recent campaign been a
great champion of Pennoyer, SO much
so as to compare him with General
Jackson, the hero of New Orleans, in
some of his political speeches IN this
city. Perhaps if the judge had coca
sion to repeat the ratification speech
made by him on the evening after cleo
tion he would not be quite so ardent
over the Pennoyer' election. At the
same time the GAZETTE has nothing TO
say against the appointment of Judge
Pipes, who will no doubt fill the posi-
ton in an acceptable manner.

The Young Kaiser at Ostend.

The Emperor William has never yet
received a more delicate compliment than
that paid him by the king of the Belgians,
who vacated the royal chalet at Ostend
in his favor, and allowed the imperial
standard of the Hohenzollerns to replace
for twenty-four hours the national tri-
color. At the last moment the projected
military display in the streets and the
presence Of the German consuls at the
wharf were abandoned, but the first visit
of the impetuous ruler of Germany to
Belgium created. on the whole, very
favorable impression.
The unwieldy Hohenzollern expert
enced some difficulty in approaching the
landing stage, but King Leopold, who,
like his brother and nephew, had donned
the somewhat unpicturesque uniform of
the Prussian cavalry, lessened the to-
diousness of the wait by conversing with
his guest across the bulwarks in stento-
rian tones. The bluff geniality Of the
young kaiser won all hearts, and his
progress through the streets was marked
by an amount of enthusiasm which Bel
GUM is altogether unaccustomed to. The
emperor never fails to make his strong
individuality felt.-London World.
