The first thing yesterday morning Mr..
Ballard presented the affidavit of M. Il.
Butterfield asking for a continuance of
his case, as two important witnesses for
him were absent. These are j. McDon-
aid Mulchahey, Esq, of New York city
and Miss Ella Foot of Middlebury, by
whom Butterfield expects partially to
prove the alibi which he will set up. Mr..
Wilds opposed a continuance of the case,
as he thought that these witnesses could
have been got here if proper efforts had
been made, and he thought they could be
got here now. The court said that the
case ought to be tried at this term, and
the matter was left open until these wit
Desses could be communicated with to
see if their attendance could not be pro-
cured.
The jury in the Gotta case were out all
Wednesday night. They came in the first
thing IN the morning and stated that they
had not been able to agree. They asked
for further instructions on the element
of intent to commit a crime, and retil ed.
At 10 80 o'clock they came in again and
reported that they were unable to agree,
whereupon they were discharged.
There is work enough ahead to carry
the court into the middle of next week,
and, if the BUtterfied case is tried, it is
probable that the court will have to re-
convene after the holiday recess.

deed, am still Of the opinion that it is the
only genuine one. But while Mr.. Owen
has established record beyond doubt
very large number of amateur athletes
have increased the average speed for many
distances, and the fact that during the year
Luther Carey claimed to have run
100 yards in 91I seconds is another
proof of the increased quality of foot
racing. We have every reason to hope that
the approaching year will find amateur
athletes even more remarkable than they
have been this year. During the year clubs
have become more like STABLES" than they
have ever been; that is the system of keep
ing" men for certain events has become
more general. This may not be hopeful
sign. Regarding the professionals nave
not much to say. The pick OF our runners
are mostly in England now, and if they are
not there they are trying more or less to
swindle the public here. Locally, foot rae
ing has, to very great extent, regained
public favor. We have had some excellent
foot racing in Pittsburg during the
year and some of the contestants have
established an international reputation.
The races between Peter Priddy and E. G.
McClelland have attracted worldwide at

Gently suffered a very great loss, but after
time has worn down little the sad memo
ries of the affair it is to be hoped that he will
be able to uphold the reputation of Pitts
burg even better than he has done this year.

there is great future for foot racing in
Pittsburg ii contestants and their hackers
will only deal honestly with the public.

Events Among Cricketers.

As far as cricket playing has been con-
cerned there has not been much to enthuse
over in this country. and as far as have been
able to judge the events of the year would
seem to say that something must be done
toward reviving a national interest in the
game. OF course, am mindful of the fact
that this year has seen the commencement
of efforts to try and bring cricket playing
into greater prominence. 1 hope these efforts
will be successful, particularly those which
aim at the formation of a national league.
The principle of a cricket league seems
sound enough to take hold OF, and
the details are the only matters or diff
culties which are delaying organization. The
details can all be adjusted if everybody is
anxious 10 have a league. / trust that the
work in this respect begun this year will
yield good fruit next. We have also had ar
rangements made this year for the visit of
an All-American team of cricketers to visit
England during the incoming year. This
idea also is good one, but only if the team
is to be "all-Amerca" in fact. A trip of
that kind can do cricket no good nationally
if all the team are to be made up of pla yers
from one locality. Many leading cities have
at least one or two good players, and the
selection OF these would certainly give those
cities strong interest in the work OF the
team while abroad. By all means the
players must be selected from as many cities
as possible. If this is done the venture can
not we'll have other than good effect in the
United States. If these two cricket ventures
to which have briefly referred, and which
have been brought to the front this year are
successful next then cricket players will
have occasion to remember 1890 with ex-
ceeding pleasure.

Athletics in General.

1t is impossible to condense into a news
paper review of one number all that ought
to be said regarding all the interesting
sporting events of the year. find that 1
am filling up my space so fast that 1 will
have to conclude with few general re-
marks. This year has been one OF the great
est on record for amateur athletics, and
am very proud of it. In almost every
branch of athletic sport something
wonderful has been done. 1 have
only space to deal with one or two
features. The most notable, probably, has
been the achievement of Mr.. Owen, of
Detroit, who reduced the amateur sprinting
record for 100 yards to 8 As seconds. That,
indeed, was remarkable performance and
causes many OF us to remember 1880. Of
course, we have to be content with the state
ment that Owens record only equalled
others made by Bethune and johnson. But
nobody can prevent my accepting Mr.. Ovens
record as the most genuine of the lot; in

Professional and Amateur Scullers.

There has been much to excite and interest
in boat rowing during the year and may
venture to say that there has been some i'm
provement in this branch of sport. Un-
fortunately the improvement has not been
with us either among our best amateurs or
best professionals. We still have Mr..
Psotta as our amateur champion and Messrs.
Teemer, Gaudsur, O'Counor and Hanlan
are still our professional representatives.
AS far as sculllng in America has been con-
cerned the year has been remarkably bad
one. There has not been the least indica-
tion of improvement and not the remotest
sign of the appearance of some new
and good men. Dishonest transactions have
certainly laid professional rowing very, very
low. The year has decisively shown that
our amateur champion, Mr.. Psotta is far
behind the amateur champion of England.
1 had the pleasure OF seeing our representa-
tive contest for the big prize at Henley, and
Mr.. Kennedy squarely defeated him. Mr..
Kennedy is inferior to either Gardiner or
Nichols, so that shows Mr.. Psotta to be
long way behind. Probably one of the best
sculling races there has been for years took
place this year between Messrs. Gardiner
ana Nickalls for the Wingfeld sculls. The
latter, who was a 3-to-1 favorite, was de-
feated after one of the most desperate races
ever seen. OF course, there have been
scores of other events aquatic,
but, generally speaking, there was nothing
extraordinary about them. During the
year Australia mas sent another wonderful
sculler. John Mclean, to the front and he
holds undisputed sway. He has defeated
both Stansbury and Kemp quite easily and
they both claimed the championship. OF
course, am aware that some authorities
claim that Mclean is not yet the worlds
champion, but this contention is entirely
based on a very himsy technical objection.
At present L merely assert that Mclean has
defeated the best rowers in the world and 1
hail him as champion. But while Austria
liza has been developing her oarsmen during
the year ours have been standing STILL 1
almost might say going backward. O'Con-
nor in Australia was rank failure, and it
is unfortunate that the close OF the year
leaves us very small hopes for aquatic sue
cess during the incoming year.

A patients grateful appreciation of his work
is often as agreeable to physician as the re-
ceipt OF his fee. Mr.. Schlumpf has sent me at

have sent others, so this is sufficient evidence
of my honest and conscientious work. and as
