Behold I will walk through the streets, peradventure el will meet a damsel to my mind. And it came to plies as he walked down a certain street which was called Math, he lifted up his eyes ana beheia, a maiden tall of sta- ture and pleasing to the eye ; and he said unto himself, behold I will take this woman for my wife. Now the worctan was of a goodly countenance and t11e2 old inan was struck—which, being interpreted, means greatly mashed—and he lifted up his voiee and said :—"Bertha, behold here am I I a man honest and upright, but withal lonely in my old age, therefore I would take unto myself a helpmate so that she could cheer my declining days, and that my gray hair might descend in honor to the grave.' And ,the woman Bertha lifted up her voice and geld : 'Behold I ton also lonely, haying al- ready burled one husband ; but if my lord wishes to take unto himself another wife his servant is willing to obey nay lord ; so the matter Was settled. .And it came to pass on a oortairt day that the man Thomas and the woman Bertha did enter the syna- gogue, and when they came forth, behold, they were man and wife. And the woman went with the man Thomae and did dwell with him in his house. And it came to pass that certain yoimg men did reason among themselves, saying : "Behold, the man Thomas has talcou nnto himself Ber- tha for a wife, let us go down mid make merry .and sing and dance and beat on in- strnMents of music that the neon Thomas May know that his choice is pleasing in our sight.' And it same to pass that the young men did go down, and they did sing and dance and did -beat on tin pens, and did blow on horns and did make merry, Brit thei'anan Thomas wexed very wroth. and did say unto thorn, 'depart I pray thee, seeet thou not that the woman Bertha is troubled and objects to nisi greeting ? But the young men heeded him not.

Lenorcl S. was lame, having mudded his left heel, and having possibly beeu over- done in training. While Jamesy S., though n little onthe light weight, and being lean and lank, was in prime condition. The Grand Stand Was filled to, overflowing by the fair sex, from the Don 'Fon to the less presumptuous damsels of the town. while the fences and approaches were literally packed by an over-anxious crowd of Liman- ites and visitors from the back townships, iill eager fer the coming walk ; and when the three athletes came forward to toe the ecratch they were greeted with an ovation from the grand 'stand which caused the very clouds to roll amidst waving of hand- kerchiefs and wilcl sbrieks of encourage- ment. A ernile could be plainly, seen to play gracefully over each of their handsome mugs. John F. wore a blue jersey and flesh colored tights with the ordinary Eng- lish walking shoes, the costume suiting his style of beauty best. Lenord was arrayed neatly in a red hunting cap, white jersey and navy blue trunks. Ile did not wear any shoos as he considered them au Mauna- brance, as the ground was quite mellow. Jamesy. S. was elegantly togged out : he wore a white plug hat adorned with a bo- quet of heliotropes; a red, white and blue Jersey to which was attached several golden bicycle medals. His feet apparel was made of ordinary carpeting. There was, how- ever, a nervous anxiety conspicuously beat- ing and heaving -in their manly bosoms. But when Mr. Betts came forward and in a niild„but melodious voice, asked, are you ready? they eaoh braced themselves up, pushing out their manly bosoms to the'full extent of their lung „ presenre.

Behold I will walk through the streets, peradventure el will meet a damsel to my mind. And it came to plies as he walked down a certain street which was called Math, he lifted up his eyes ana beheia, a maiden tall of sta- ture and pleasing to the eye ; and he said unto himself, behold I will take this woman for my wife. Now the worctan was of a goodly countenance and t11e2 old inan was struck—which, being interpreted, means greatly mashed—and he lifted up his voiee and said :—"Bertha, behold here am I I a man honest and upright, but withal lonely in my old age, therefore I would take unto myself a helpmate so that she could cheer my declining days, and that my gray hair might descend in honor to the grave.' And ,the woman Bertha lifted up her voice and geld : 'Behold I ton also lonely, haying al- ready burled one husband ; but if my lord wishes to take unto himself another wife his servant is willing to obey nay lord ; so the matter Was settled. .And it came to pass on a oortairt day that the man Thomas and the woman Bertha did enter the syna- gogue, and when they came forth, behold, they were man and wife. And the woman went with the man Thomae and did dwell with him in his house. And it came to pass that certain yoimg men did reason among themselves, saying : "Behold, the man Thomas has talcou nnto himself Ber- tha for a wife, let us go down mid make merry .and sing and dance and beat on in- strnMents of music that the neon Thomas May know that his choice is pleasing in our sight.' And it same to pass that the young men did go down, and they did sing and dance and did -beat on tin pens, and did blow on horns and did make merry, Brit thei'anan Thomas wexed very wroth. and did say unto thorn, 'depart I pray thee, seeet thou not that the woman Bertha is troubled and objects to nisi greeting ? But the young men heeded him not.

Lenorcl S. was lame, having mudded his left heel, and having possibly beeu over- done in training. While Jamesy S., though n little onthe light weight, and being lean and lank, was in prime condition. The Grand Stand Was filled to, overflowing by the fair sex, from the Don 'Fon to the less presumptuous damsels of the town. while the fences and approaches were literally packed by an over-anxious crowd of Liman- ites and visitors from the back townships, iill eager fer the coming walk ; and when the three athletes came forward to toe the ecratch they were greeted with an ovation from the grand 'stand which caused the very clouds to roll amidst waving of hand- kerchiefs and wilcl sbrieks of encourage- ment. A ernile could be plainly, seen to play gracefully over each of their handsome mugs. John F. wore a blue jersey and flesh colored tights with the ordinary Eng- lish walking shoes, the costume suiting his style of beauty best. Lenord was arrayed neatly in a red hunting cap, white jersey and navy blue trunks. Ile did not wear any shoos as he considered them au Mauna- brance, as the ground was quite mellow. Jamesy. S. was elegantly togged out : he wore a white plug hat adorned with a bo- quet of heliotropes; a red, white and blue Jersey to which was attached several golden bicycle medals. His feet apparel was made of ordinary carpeting. There was, how- ever, a nervous anxiety conspicuously beat- ing and heaving -in their manly bosoms. But when Mr. Betts came forward and in a niild„but melodious voice, asked, are you ready? they eaoh braced themselves up, pushing out their manly bosoms to the'full extent of their lung „ presenre.
