A TEST OF SPEED.

DIR. Miner and Clerk Day Engage in a
Sprinting Contest.
Residents along the line of Twenty-second
street, near the City and County Hospital,
were witnesses yesterday afternoon to an
athletic contest worthy of an Olympic Club
exhibition. DR.. William Miner, son of
the Minister to Central America and ply
stefan in the hospital posed as an athlete.
He weighs not less than 200 pounds, and his
Falstaffian girth has caused his pretensions
as poker and Splinter to be regarded
somewhat in the light of the claims of DR..
Sangrodo in "Gl Bias to the possession of
universal T. msdy.
DR.. Miner has of late been considerably
riled at the manner in which his sporting
ability has been questioned, and yesterday
boldly challenged anybody in the hospital to
a running race for any amount. After the
surprise of the attaches had passed away at
this audacious offer, Drug Clerk Harry Day
was prevailed upon to accept the def of the
young medlco.
track was improvised on Twentv-second
street, and all the employees of the hospital
repaired 10 the scene of the coming race,
while Dr. Miner disappeared for Il time in
order to prepare for the contest. He soon
showed up in short pantaloons and a striped
shirt, looking like Young giant, jIst out of
the bath-tub. Clerk Dolan was selected as
timekeeper, while DR.. SimpOn acted as
referee.
DR.. Levison acted as starter, while the
long, lean form OF Superintendent Healy at
the other end of the track acted as the fin
ishing post. DR.. LevisOn ordered the con-
teStants in position and then dropped his
flag. and DIR. Miner and Clerk Day on the
signal were off like the wind, but neither
gained much advantage fer the first fifty
yards.

The face of the defeated Splinter did not
wear its usual joval look after the race, and
it is said that whoever mentions running to

of his boxing art, which is, on account of his
size, held to be somewhat in advance of his
