one lap on Finn before the first mile was
completed. The pace was beginning to tell
on Finn as he tried to hold on to Rich
mond's heels, and he quit before his
two miles was finished telling very
| hot. The next came Deputy Bell, and he
strided out in gait that was
anything but walk, but he
could not get away from Richmond, and he
continued to run, which the referee de-
Clared against him.
The best walker of the five men came
next, named Sam Day, and he walked his
two miles in good time, but Richmond
passed him twice, gaining two laps.
Deputy Bell was not satisfied and he was
allowed to try it again and on again walk
ing Richmond Immediately went at him
pressing him to do his utmost never trying
to pass him but got at his
elbow and psresed the gait. Bell
commenced to weaken on the
first mile and dropped at the starting point

toe the scratch was booked as the dark
horse" but Richmond kept him Oh a trot to
keep up which winded him before the first
mile, and he quit, saying enough
The referee declared the race in Rich
mond's favor, but Richmond wanted to go
the ten miles as advertised, but was told L
was not necessary. He completed~.fee
miles and seven laps in A minutes and IL
seconds, and could have done better if
pressed. Richmond is a splendid walker
with long stride, and after the race gave
an exhibition of running and walking.
At night Richmond gave another exhibit

him TO walk mile every night.

Special TO the JERSEY C.tD Ne~s.
NEWARK, Oct. 23. 1s91.-What might
have been Il very serious accident on the
Pennsylvania Railroad was narrowly
averted yesterday. Along train of coal
cars were switched ON the main line of
the west bound track, when the rails sud
denly spread. Nearly half a dozen cars
suddenly jumped the track at n switch
near Greene street. Fortunately the train
was running slowly at the time. The
train crew saw the danger aud by jump
ing from tire cars the men saved Them
selves. No one was hurt in the slightest
manner. The danger signals along the
line of that part of the road were sat once
set, and collisions from the ~fast-running
locals aud express trains avoided.
A large gang of men were set to work
and soon had the tracks clear. West
bound travel on the main line was de-
layed for nearly half an hour. AT the
end of that time Foreman Irwin a re-
paired the damage. The engine remained
on the track and the cars were but slight
ly damaged.
