GREAT FooTRAcE OVER THE BEACON COURSE, Ho-
BoKEN la our advertising columns will be found
the names Of 36 persons who have entered for this
great undertaking to come off on the l4b Of Octo-
ber. II may be considered as national contest,
as some of the ablest pedestrians Of The old coun
try have crossed the Atlantic for the express pur-
pose Of contending with the best Of this country.
The number entered is far beyond what was ex-
pected, and there is little doubt but that the
test will create great excitement, and the attend
ance on the occasion will be immeLse-much
greater than on any former similar occurrence.
Major II. Stannard is the general favorite 30 far,
but as there are several Others entered whose
prowessis is highly spoken Of, there is every reason
to believe that he will not have such easy work as
he has hitherto had if he does come of the con-
queror The betting already is pretty brisk, the
field the favorite. Some thousands, no doubt, will
change hands on the occasion.
