OXeap.y ahd Westox.— Dispatches from London, dated the 

 8th inst., give the result of the long distance walking match 

 between these celebrated pedestrians. Tho match was for 

 £1,000 a side, the winner to be the one walking the greatest 

 number of miles in six days. O'Leary proved to be the best 

 man, waUung 520 miles to Weston's 510. Both men began 

 walking at 12.05 A. M. on the morning of the 2d. O'Leary 

 sporting as colors a combination of the red, white, and blue 

 of the United States with the green of heland; Weston 

 sporting the canary and green of Sir John Astiey, who 

 furnished nearly all" if not all. of the £1 ,000 for which he was 

 backed. The race from start to finish was a terrific one, es- 

 pecially during the first three days, when O'Leary got a lead 

 of twenty-three miles, which Weston was unable to over- 

 come, though during O'Leary's illness on Thursday he 

 nearly made up all the lost ground. As may be expected, 

 both men were badly used up, although not nearly so bad as 

 was generally expected. Both, however, have the consola- 

 tion of Imowrng that they beat all previous performances, 

 and are respectively first and second champions at long dis- 

 tance walking. 



BASE BALL, 



— A splendid fielding game was played at Indianapolis on 

 April 3d, on the occasion of the second return game of the 

 series between the St. Louis and Indianapolis Clubs, the first 

 of which was won by the latter nine on April 2d, by a score 

 of 5 to 3. It will be remembered that the first game between 

 the two nines played in St. Louis, March 21st, resulted in the 

 success of the St. Louis time by 6 to 3, the second being won 

 by the Indianapolis nine the next day by 6 to 4. The return 

 games were looked forward to with interest, the Browns an- 

 ticipating success ; but they found the local team of Indiana- 

 polis decidedly too much for them, and in consequence they 

 returned home defeated, there loosing three games out of the 

 four played. This is not as favorable, an opening of tho 

 season as the crack League team of St. Louis expected. One 

 result will be a decided increase in the interest taken by the 

 western fraternity in the coming contests between the League 

 and International clubs. Below will be found the correct 

 score of the model game played on the 3d inst. in Indian- 

 apolis:

Illegal Duck Shooting. — John Beeve, John Summerman, 

 and George Hatch were arrested on Saturday by e. . ;; . I. 

 Geo. H. Gardiner and Thomas McDonald, of Brooklyn, Anne 

 Arundel County, charged with shooting at wild ducks from a 

 boat in violation of the Maryland laws relating to wild fowl. 

 The men were taken before J ustice Hawkins who imposed a 

 fine of $10 each, and confiscated the guns and other ap- 

 purtenances. Being unable to pay the fine the gunners were 

 committed to the Annapolis jail. Tho county officers stated that 

 for some nights previous shooting ducks had been practiced 

 from boats carrying lights, but they had been unable to catch 

 the offenders. Saturday morning several boats were out near 

 the Long Bridge. The officers chased the boat in which the ac- 

 cused were and caught them after quite a long chase. The men 

 state that they were entirely ignorant that they were violating 

 any law. Two of them are married men with' families. The 

 law imposes a fine of from $10 to $100 for shooting at wild 

 fowl from any vessel, float, canoe, or other craft, or from any 

 blind over one hundred yards from the shore. Any person 

 supplying a boat to -be used in violation of law is also liable 

 to the same penalty. All boats, guns, and utensils used are 

 forfeited under the law. — ■ Baltimore cW 



A White Deeb. — An Escanaba (Michigan) correspondent 

 says that a white deer was shot there last fall — perfectly 

 white, the only dark hairs being behind the ears. The hoofs 

 were almost transparent. It was a two-year old buck. 



We notice that the old firm of E. Walker & Sons, estab- 

 lished in 1836, will remove May 1st from 55 Dey Street to 

 their new quarters, No. 14 Spruce Street. This is one of the 

 the oldest, as it is certainly one of the largest, book binder- 

 ies in the city. Tbeir facilities for large and small jobs are 

 not excelled by any other house, and for promptness and 

 workmanship we can attest. There is none better. 



Tiffany & Co., Silversmiths, Jewelers, and 

 Importers, have always a large stock ol sil- 

 ver articles for prtees for shooting, yachting, 

 racing and other sports, and on request they 

 prepare special designs for similar purposes. 

 Their timing watches are guaranteed for ac- 

 curacy, and are now very generally used for 

 sporting and scientific requirements. Tiffany 

 & Co., are also the agents in America for 

 Messrs. Patek, Philippe & Co., of Geneva, of 

 whose celebrated watches they have a full 



line. Their stock of Diamonds and other Pre- 

 cious Stones, General Jewelry, Bronzes and 



Artistic Pottery is the largest in the world, 

 and the public are invited to visit their estab- 

 lishment without feeling the slightest obliga- 

 tion to purchase. Union Square, New York
