Being an expsrlecoed runner, I presume y;n are aware of the disadvantage a runner of my gait has In going ronnd a small circle, and as the only correct war to decide on superiority is to run upon level ground In a straight line; in this way I will aooept your offer, for two hundred dollars, to run a quarter of a mile.

The day was rainy and the road la a very bad oouditicn. The entries for the first race—8>j miles- were the Boston Buck, John HntohelWn, Qeo. 4lrown, and Joseph Murch; bat owing to some cause, only Buck and Hntcnerson toed the soratoh. [We here wish to state that if Brown and Muroh desire to be supported by tbe public they ahonld run when they allow their names to be pat upon the bills, nnlesr they show soms good exonie.] At the word "go" the Competitors went away at a slashing pace, and were soon out of sight to all the speatators who were on foot. The Buck took the lead ana kept galniog on his opponent, and at the finish Hutcherson waa nearly a quarter of a mile behind. The time occupied was eighteen minutes and thirty seconds. We learn that after this race the Buck was presented with a beautiful set of glass ware, by the Uiuon Glass House Boys, of Bomernlle, for which he returned his thanks. The second race was a half mile dash between James Fcgarty, of East Cambridge, and Bamuel Mo Eeever. the " Reindeer." It was won by tbe former in 2:12. Both of these men are firemen.

PaicB Ans Foas.-Mr. Price writes as follows: " I noticed in your last week's paper a conmunlcatlon firom Barney Ford. whIoh I tbinic a Utile severe; bnt In or- der to oonvliue the pnbUo that It has been no fault of mine that a match has not been mode, I shall have to ex- plain the state of things since the match was first pro- posed. When 1 was first challenged by Mr. Ford, 1 was In Conneotlont. Some, whom •! took for flrienda there, offered to back me for $26 aod $30 each, which would hare been more than the sum reonlrcd; upoa tbeir'-pronlses, I answered Barney's onallenge, out when fmnt to get themoney, those who aeemed so wil- ling toMck me offered to go $6 and $10 only, and, moreover, wanted me to go $60 in the first deposit my- self.. When I saw their Intention, I deterinlnea to go to Boston and state the ease frankly to Baroey; I did aoi and some gentlemen present offered to back me for $100 and the room money. Barney declined, aa he was sick at the tine. Since then, I went to make s match with Barney, and told him that to show I meant fighting, I would fijght him for a new hat, or for $S0, In an boar's notice, or for $200 in six weeks, and was willing to put up $26 forfeit; but he would not fiyht for less than $800 In 8 weeks. Finally, I agreed to It. and we met that night to draw up articles and put up $26 forfeit; but when theartioles were ready, Barney said his back- ers would not make a match'unless I put op $160 for- feit. Ab I could not raise that sum. being a stranger la Boston, I have been obliged to let the metier drop. I think there is as much honor In winning a small stake as a large one. As I have not $S00 to Ight with, I should llbe to have a brnah with tiie gloves with Bar- nev for the amusement of a few prhate friends. My respects to Mr. J. Maokey, and an glad to hear be Is hlnaelf again, hoping he will forbear oballeoging me, ea I have no money; no donbt people will thiak 1 am worth nothing, or somebody would baok me. I don't blame them; I beghi to think so myself." SPiRBINQ.
