Championship Pedestrianism. Describing the end of the six days' walking and running match in Gilmore's ; Garden, a New York paper says: The ( incidents were livelv and the tumult ud- ~\ roarious during the last two hours of ] the race. The contestants literally went ( as they pleased. At one time they all j carried American llags, the band whang- j ingout "Yankee Doodle" and "Ilail j Columbia,"while the crowd yelled to ] the top of their voices. Panchot wore a ( United States postollice cap, and Brodie, \ the si xteen-year-old newsboy, ran around < delivering handbills in imitation of ex- ] tras. Old Sport (Campana) appeared on , the track with Merritt, the Bridgeport | boy, who was then only five miles behind : Panchot. Merritt was going like a free- ] booter under the skillful training of Andy Sheehan. Old Sport ran one lap, ( when he came to the reporters'1 .stand, < and said that he had just come from ] Canada, where they had tried to kill ] him in a walk. " But I beat them all ] easy." Then he continued: " If I'd i staid here, Merritt would have won. t He's my orange peddler, and the best i boy that ever yelled." ] jociore uan-pasi ten uiurc \\rir tun six thousand spectators in the building; i thecrush on theTwenty-eighth street side 1 was tremendous. Occasionally a table ( or bench jjave way with a crash on the ] main floor, sending a momentary thrill ] through the audience. I Mcrritt retired at 10:23 with 475 miles ] anil five laps to his credit, which gives ] him the lead on Ennis' record. 1 Panchot had gone into his tent at 10:0? t having made 480 miles and one lap. j Hearing that Merritt had left the race, j he did not come out again < There was trouble in Byrne's tent at i 10:30. His trainers claimed that he had ( been drugged, and the doctor asserted i that they were all drunk. Byrne had ; made his 425 miles, saving his stake. It | { was about all he could do. I i Little Noden had also by superhuman t exertions covered 425 miles. He made j c tnree laps over the 425 miles, and then j c withdrew at 10:25. r O'Brien withdrew at 10:20, having ( made 435 miles one lap. i Merritt's trainers said that their man a had ouly slept seven hours since the start, f An old sport remarked: "What do you t think of that for a boy only twenty-one f years old?*' ? Brodie retired at 10:57, with a score ofl t 375 miles. As he leaned against the I scorers1 stand he kept moving nis legs up | a and down, as if impossible to keep them , I still. A subscription was taken up for j rJ the boy, which netted a nice little sum. j t At eleven all the men had stopped walk- j a ing. The track was so crowded that the j g contestants could scarcely walk around it. | n Mr. Panchot then approached the re- j o porters' desk, when Mr. W. B. Curtis of; 1] the Spirit of Ihc Times presented him the | r belt, saying: t Mr. Panchot: There is little to say on this j s occiusion. You came here a stranger, to win I o this belt. I am very happy to present it to ! n you. You will receive your money at the i ]) Clipper office next week. ! ti The Buffalo boy smiled his thanks. j 11 walked away with the belt, and the scrub I h race was over. . b Two hours yet remained to finish the p six days. The final score of the last ten ! r in the race was: Panchot, 480J; Merritt, I s 475g; Krohne,155; O'Brien, 135$; Byrne, I 4274; Noden, 4253; Brodie, 375: Willis. I 310; Stanley. 279; and Day, 242jj. In the walk*for the Astley belt, Rowell | covered500miles; Knnis.475; Ilarriman, j n 450: and O'Leary, who retired on the n third day, 215. I a ?? p The Powder-Play. t< Several thnes during the year in Mo- j1 rocco, the Arab inhabitants of a town j1 hold certain half-religious festivals called i1 the Feasts of the Aissouia, which, in d many ways, are as revolting as the orgies j? of the lowest savages. " Though the Arabs are shy of foreign a eyes at their rites, the tourist may get an a invitation to these performances, if he ^ happens to have a mend among the : 'l natives. Following his guide through a I maze of tortuous streets, and up a great P many flights of stone steps, lie will hnal- 11 ly be conducted to a small hall of Moor- P ish architecture, with the characteristic s' horseshoe arches supported upon marble P pillars, and no ^oof ex'eept, perhaps, a fragment of striped awning. Around the " inside runs a gallery occupied by veiled t! Moorish ladies, and ornamented with a few flags, which alone relieve the glare " of whitewash on all sides of this queer ! P building. The floor is laid with' oeta- j a gonal tiles ot red and white, and upon j a red mats around a small "altar" in the ^ center', sit the musicians and performers, I * while the spectators And places behind. | e The chosen performers will dance I " bare-footed upon red-hot plates of iron | P and on beds of living coals: will1 11 lick rods of red-hot iron; will take ! P burning torches between their teetli !11 , and hold flaminc oil-wicks until the blaze s has burned straight into the palms of P their hands; will swallow nails and stones; will even snatch up a living n scorpion and crunch ft between the teeth, s with as keen relish as that with which a v newsboy eats a shrimp. All this is gone * through with (for money) to the harsh tumult of half a dozen rude drums and v horns, which make a fit accompaniment to these horrid remnants of pagan fire- " worship. ' P A much more interesting, though no less noisv, recreation, is the powder-phiy, T a game that may take place on foot or on t horseback, for these Moors, as everybody knows, are nearly as much at home in j the saddle as afoot. The horsemen en- j! gaged in the game ride at an exceedingly I rapid pace, carrying loaded guns which s they discharge as they dash about in all * kinds of positions?above, below, on '' either side and straight forward. The 0 noble horses seem to enter into the wild (' rush and noise of the fun as much as I n their masters, and the celerity with I !l which the various* movements are exe- * cuted is wonderful. Not only do the ' younger men take part in the sport, but} old gray-headed ruen enjoy it with keen j interest and equal spirit. Another kind of powder-play is performed on foot. ]i The band strikes up a fearful din under t the name of music, and in the midst of \ the distracting medley two lines of men, li that have formed opposite one another, rl rush together, and, throwing their bodies J into wonderful attitudes, fire their gun*. I and shout and yell as though in actual \ battie. The Arabs call this powder-play j r Lab-cl-barode.?Ernest Inycrsoll in lit. j r Nicholas. j ? A Large Estate. It is worth one's while to be stvoml ! \ cousin to a millionaire, when all the j I other heirs-at-law are dead. Forty \ s years a^o Oxenham, an English file- t maker, becan to save his pennies in To- 11 rrwttn onrl whpn Iip .sMft AHA in ? n he removed to Lambkin county, where i he bought large tracts of land and sold 1 them at a profit. He finally settled down ! on the olu homestead in a beautiful lo-1 cality on the old London road, three miles from Wyoming Station, on the Great Western railway. Here he has lived quietly and peaceably for upward of a quarter of a century. Last summer i lie received a letter from an old friend j in Barnstable, England, informing him ' that his second cousin, ex-Mayor Bern-! ridge, had died without leaving a will, \ and that a large fortune was awaiting the nearest of kin. As the Canadian j squire was himself well off, he did not think it worth while to worry about this new estate. The other day, however, he received a letter from an English law firm requesting his immediate presence in Barnstable, that he might he identified within one year of the death of exMayor Bemridge, and thus save himself the trouble of taking proceedings in Chancery. There was no chance or any opposition, and lie could enter into possession at once. Accordimrlv the 1 venerable farmer started from home, and I sailed from >iew York. He will inherit half of the personal property, which is worth 82.500,000, and all the real estate, worth $5,000,000. The old gentleman c is so enamored with his Canadian home e that the style and comforts of an English ! t gentleman's town and country mansions a and domain do not tempt him to stay in r the old land. His son, who h:is a large , $ family of boys, will eventually take pos- ? session of the English estate. _ Eaten by Alligators. jThe question whether alligators will 1 eat human beings seems to De settled. "V The Quitman (Ga.) Free Press gives an h account of the disappearance of a fisher- t< man named Downing. His protracted t absence during the first part of last week a attracted the attention or his friends, who ii at length went to his abode. Arriving ; at the landing where he kept his boat, ti they found his fish box and canoes, but n *V,? trn? m?*sinor_ Snnn nfYpr. ! fi ward they reached the bank of the pond ! and saw alligators emerge from the grass ^ near by and come toward the shore, ap- h parently seeking a fight. A gun was a procured, and both alligators were killed tl and dragged ashore. Their stomachs j contained human flesh, bones, particles vi of clothing and other things that plainly i c< showed the fate of poor Downing. i tl A Curiously Told Tiger Story.

In his early life an important pari olin Jacob Astor's business was tne i lortation of London pianos to N fork.

Some little boys threw a lighted us match into the stream, and the whole ?g river front for about a mile was soon le ablaze. The scene from the Long Island cs shore was truly gorgeous. From a point r, in the channel between Ravenswoou and id Blackwell's Island, extending southerly ?d for about a mile, the surface of the water was a livid sheet of flame. It was a I >d scene that held thousands of people spellle hound. It appeared as if subterranean ?e fires had burst through the mass of ill water and conquered the opposing eleis ment. The glowing flames .jumped and >n I roared.along the liquid surface. Someof | times the center of the. flames would be extinguished, leaving a darkened snare surrounded by an aureole of lire. Tnen, e, like a flash of lightning, the entire area , would be again lighted up, leaving an i unbroken sheet of flame resting on the ja i surface of the water.
