TH ITE & BROTHER, have removed from No. V V 92 to 76 Market street,betespen t h e Dianumd and 4th street, to the store formerly oeeopied• by Geo. H. White & Co. Sept 211 - d3m HENRY HIGBY Important Arrival. EAGLE HOTEL, EamovaL This was a three mile race fur a purse of s2oo— the first, and $5O to the second in the race— for which fourstarted, viz: Edwarl Brown, Ambrose Jackson, William Fowle, and a man named Myers. Jackson is one of the three Englishmen who came over to run in the great race of October last, and in figure and style of running he is not unlike his com panions, Barlow and Greenhalgh. Jackson, soon af ter the start, made running at a paie which may be well understood when it is seen that the whole three miles were run in 16 minutes and 16 seconds. Myers only travelled with them fur one mile, and he then abandoned the race and left the course; Barlow yiel ded at the end of the weed mile, leaving the contest to Jackson and Eowle, which was won by the former about 15 yards ahead of his competitor, amidst the most boisterous cheering of the spectators. An intermission of half an hour ensued before men were brought out for the next great ra9e . of the dsy,which was a ten mile contest for a purse Of $l2OO, 'to he thus awarded—s7oo to the first, $250 to the second, $l5O to the third, $75 to the fourth, and 425 to the fifth. For this the following entries were made: Nu I—JolmPsaldetsleeve, the winner of the last race. 2—John Barlow the two pedestrians, late 3—T hos Greenhalgh $_ from England. 4—J P Tsylor, s—Jobn Uoderbill , 9—3 LT Smith, 6-IVm Caries,- 10—Thomas Ryan. 7—James Bradley, I I—John Steeprock,lnd. The two Englishmen, Gildersleeve, and the Indian only were speculated upon to any great amount, and they had each confident backers. Gildersleeve's pre vious performance and local association made him the pet of his countrymen; the Englishmen too,were warm ly espoused by the English portion of our follow citi zens, for the same controlling reason, nationality; but there were, besides, their adftarable running in the October race, and their exquisite symetrical form and muscular developments which fitted them for fleet and enduring pedestrian contests. The Indian's friends had greatly increased in number and in confidence.nnd they hazarded much on the issue. Since his last rare he has been in good bands and has been better trained and hence an improvement in his style of running was distinctly marked. He is tall and powerful, but he runsless compactly than Barlow and Greenhalgh. yet he completed his ten miles in 54 minutes and 53 sea ands, thus beating the best time madein the October race by two minutes and seversl seconds, and there fore but for an improvement in his competitors be would not have disappointed the reasonable confident* of his friends, who bad come from Buffalo end the in termediate counties to witness the contest. From Al bany and Rochester several hundred spectators have come, many of whom were disposed to speculate oft the Englishmen. Nine only of the eleven men entered for the race, showed in front of the Judges' Stand, when they were called to take their respective places. Bradley and Ryan were the absentees. Barlow and Green hilgh appeared in short linen drawers, silk cap, socks and light shoes, the upper part of their bodies and their legs being entirely uncord; and there was a pleasing cheerfulness in their countenance*. and a healthy hue in their complexitinii. They are, we understand 22 and 24 years of age, Greenhaljh being the senior, though they appear to be severe' years older. Gildersleeve was dressed as before In silk cap, under shirt. drawers, socks, and light sheer, being thus clothed from head to foot; his eountenance is hard and rugged, anii it bears the marks of age. though he has not yet arrived at that period which is designated the prime of life. The Indian ran in a light costume peculiar to his tribe, and the other run ners varied but little from those above mentioned.-,-- There was an evident determination on the part off Barlow to sacrifre no advantage in the race, ands false start was the consequence. He returned how ever, immediately, and they all got off well togeth er—Gildersleeve, Barlow, Greenbslgh and the n taking front places. The first mile was accom plished in five minutes and ten seconds, Barlow being first, the Indian second—Smith. Gildersleeve, Greets. halgb, Taylor, Caries and M'Cabe in a cluster ate short distance; the other tailed off. The second - mule was performed by Barlow in about the same time as the first, but at a greater distance from the Indian, who was slightly in advance of Gildersleeve,. Green halgh, Taylor and M'Cabe. Jackson, Underhill, rod Caries at more respectful distances in the rear, the latter at this point abandoning the contest. At the close of the third mile Barlow had still for. ther increased the distance between him and the In dian, who had also left a greater space between him and Gildersleeve and Greenhalgh who ran in compa ny. McCabe was within a reasonable distance, and Taylor came alone sometime afterwards. Jackson and Smith came at intervals, and the former then gave up the contest as hopeless. The fourth mile found Barlow first at the same extraordinary pace as that with which he get out, by which be gradually gained on the ten mile time—six minutes to a mile—which was tolled every three minutes from the Judge's stead. The Indian ran alone with vigorous ease. Gildersleeve and Greenhalgh came afterwards, still in company; McCabe followed; Taylor was at. greet. er distance and, though a space of a quarter of a mile No B—Thomas M'Cabe,
