THE WALKING MATCH.

Y Cow Boy Will A. Smith fully con
 vinced our people in the walking
 matches Monday and Tuesday nights, fsays the Searcy Citizen, that he was
 really the champion walker of the jworld. But no proof was needed by fthose who had seen his credentials, or were posted ill sporting matters. Mir. ISmith is rather below the average lsize, but is magnifcently developed, l and his walking is a revelation, being
 as fast as an ordinary run and yet not
 a run, He was apparently as fresh at l the end Of the ten miles as when l starting. The men against whom he walked ten each race did well, but I were beaten by 9 fair margin Mir Smith was enthusiastic in his praise of our boys, saying that with proper training they would turn out some 1 fine athletes
 l The men opposed to him were of the typical White county variety, fine specimens of manhood, and nearly all over six feet in height The attendance was good, and the Cumberland Presbyterian people add ed nice sum to their building fund The audiences thoroughly enjoyed the sport, which was at times intensely
 exciting. Cow Boy Will conducts
 himself in most gentlemanly man
 ner, and is an entertaining talker He
 has promised to return in thirty days
 for another contest if it can be ar
 ranged.
