PosTPoNEMENT OF THE GREAT FooT RACE
The New York Herald of yesterday says "In
consequence of the great excitement at present
prevailing on election matters, and likely to pre-
vail for some days to come, it has been thought
advisable to postpone this greast pedestrian match
until the lSt instant, when it is hoped that other
matters will be somewhat cooled down. The
names of the different parties entered for both
matches may be seen in other part of our paper,
in which there will he found the names of four
individuals who have not contended in any of the
other great matches, but of whom report speaks
highly. Greenhalgh is backed against the field,
if be goes in the three mile race; five to four on
Gildersleeve and Barlow against the field in the
ten mile race even on Gdersleeve against any
one fifty to one hundred on Gilderseeve against
the field. All the men are in first rate condition,
and quite sanguine and eager for the contest. As
a piece of pedestrianism, these matches are
thought by those who know what the men have
been doing in their training, will astonsh the
world"
