Dear P reeman One of the most exciting
events which has transpired here for a long
time, was a foot race which came off on the
old tow-path, about two miles below town,
on Saturday last. The contestant were a
Welshmau named Davis and an Irishman
named Redmond, and as the friends of either
party were sanguine of the success of their
man, it was presumed that the race would be
very closely contested. Ycur correspond
ent repairad to the ground a few minutes be
fore time was called, and taking a position
near the 'home stretch," awaited with con
siderable anxiety for the race to begin.
Probably 2,000 persons had by this time
ai rived upon the ground, and had located at
different points alng the course, the greater
number, however, remaining at the winning
post. The arrangements lor keeping the
track clear and preserving order were of the
most perfect kind, and consequently the
runners had a fair field on which to display
their powers of locomotion. At 5 P. 11. the
contestants appeared at the staitiug point,
and the choice of position falling by toss to
Redmond, they took their respective places.
Davis was dressed something similar to a
ring performer iu a circus, the prevailing
color being red j his competitor was dressed
in light clothes. A few momeuts after five
the word was given, and a fair start kaviug
been made, the contestants pulled out, but
ere they haJ ran one-fourth thediotance it
became evident that Davis would win au
easy viotoiy over his opponent, as he led
him the tntue Course from 0 to 40 yards,
and coming in about 30 yaids iu advance,
won the race. Ahuo.it every person upon
the ground was deceived iu the result, as it
was expected that it would be a sharp iuu,
and closely contested, whilst on the contrary
Davis occupied 3 miu. 24 ec. iu running

ry to run faer, as from the outset he had a
Mire thing of it. and there was no necessity
to exert himself. 1 have been informed that
botii parties, whilst in training, rau the dis
tance in less than 2. 30. The only way I
can account for the discrepancy iu timuj is
that Redmond was physically unlit to run
on that day, and at present writing he is ly
ing iu a very eiitical condition from nervous
prostration. The stake at issue was $115,
but piobably over $5,000 changed hands iu
bets, which were fieely offered and taken,
even alter the start was made. A consid
erable amount of ill feeling has been engen
dered by the result, between the fiicnus of
either party, as it was, ot course, considered
by many as a kind of national affair, and a
The Kick. B. B. Gub want on a pilgrim
age last week for the purpose of playing the
"Star" club of Altoona and the "Juniata"
of Hollidaj'sburg. The game with the Stais
stood on the 8th inning 71 for Kicks and
25 for Stars. The Stars concluded they
couldu't shine, and had to yield the bat.
The Juniata played the Kicks on the fol
lowing day, the score standing on the 9th
innniug : Kick 34. Juniata 60. Th e pre

Hollidaysburg to play with the Juniata,

"Beyond the Mississippi," by Albert 1).
Richardson, of the corps of the New York
Tribune. It is written with a republican
leaning, but is not as rabid as mauy pro
ductions of that character. Its author speaks
from perianal knowledge, having travelled
all through the Countrj' whereof he writes.
His style is graphic and agreeable, and the
volume contains a vast fond of ubju1 infor
mation of that portion of our country which
is to be the future governing power. It
contains 572 pages, and is embellished by
over 200 engravings. It is sold wily by
subscription, and tho people of Cambria
county will be waited upon by an agent
within a few days.

like an inverted pollywog, has the thinnest
end of the title foremost, should be in the
hands of every capitalist. It is ironical in
style, urging government to take care of the
rich that the rich may take care of the poor.
Doing It Handsomely. Onr generous
friends, Messrs. Harshberger & Co., mn.tt
thrive in the world, as they are not forget
ful of the printer. The other day we were
the recipient of a very handsome little box
by Express, ami as we could not divine where
a present could come from, we feared that it
variety of knock downs have already occur- ! might be an "irftrnal machine" to kill us
red. Qne of tLc mo&t t-erious of the latter
eame off on Wood vale bridge yesterday even
ing, by which two meu succeeded iu com
ing from a wordy dispute to blows, and then
damaging each other's faces iu a serious
manner. Excited groups were gathered at
every corner yesterday talking ot the result,
and manifesting more feeling than they
probably did since each individual enjoyed a
social attack of the measles, or had his first
affections nipped in the bud.
Another foot race came off later in the
evening of Saturday, for a stake of $10,
between two amateur runners. The course
ou this occasion was located on Locust
stieet, from the Catholic to the Methodist
off, to prevent us from going to Congress some
diy. Judge of our pleasant surprise wheu
we found, safely imbedded iu saw dust, a
pair of nice btaek bottles, labelled in the
finest style-. But "appearances are often
deceitful," so we "inquired within," and
found the one to contain a liqueur that the
gods of old would have delighted to quaff
"Angelica," or the nectar of angels ; the
other composed of "sterner stuff." being the
highest brand of California brandy for
medical purposes. After this, we need
scarcely inform olir country friends what

accidently thrown from a trdn a few weeks
ago, convalesced sufficiently to bo able to
take his departure for his home in New
York last week. Prior to leaving he pre
sented Capt. Row, the popular landlord of
tho Scott House, with a valuable gold head-
ed cane, as a testimonial of his gratitude for
the kind treatment he had received at the
hands of that gentleman. The head of the
cane bears the inscription; "To Capt. A.
Row, from T. N. fJale, July 21, 1867," being
the date at which the accident occurred.
Capt. Jas. H. Gageby, U. S. A., left New
York on the 10th of last month, with 200
recruits, for San Francisco. Jim is a Johns
town boy. and has by meritorious conduct
gradually worked himself from the ranks to
bis present position.
J. U. Lcnhart, more familiarly known as
"Dad," has been promoted from the tanks
to tho position oL. Sergeant In the regular
ignorance of tho rules of the came is the on
ly accomplishment required on part of the
players. Suitable prises are to bo awarded
the best and worst plavers. The occasion
promises to be one replete with fun second
only to a greased pig race.
