Obaarratlon leads tiB to the kellef that a new diHeasft has of lata broken ont among.ii}en, and, in a milder form, among women also. In the phraseology ot the medical Imoks, ttato disaaae might tM described as nmia-manageria, A more Soxoa and perhaps simpler explanation would be eraz7-to-manage-a-tlieatre. We speak of the disease as new only In a reaMctod aenae. Doubt- less It has been In the blood tor generations past, bnt circumstances bave heretofore tended to bold It in check. Thoeo clrcumatancos appear now to bo wonting. The unfortunate person wbo la afflicted with tbe disease nowadaTS Is not to be beld In check by anything—unless, poeslbly. It be deputy-sheriff who Is bImsoK lo searoh ot a check. Uanla-managerla has come to be so widespread and so serious that it deserres critic- al attention. With regard to the symptoms, Urst, It may be aald that the patient, at a rery early stage, mani- fests an Inordinate Interest In things which he really knows nothing about. As on InsTltable seqnence to this condition, he neglects those du- ties tor Tbich he Is fitted—It, indeed, it eo bap- pens that be to fitted for anything. When the fever gets fairly Into the system, the sufferer may be found flgnrlng ont the Imaginary proflts ot his rose-tinted enterprises after this fashion: Bent, per week, fSOO; stock people, $100; printing and adverttolng, $200; all incidentals, $300—total, $1,400. Blx erenlng perforxnanoea, $500 each, S3.000; two matinees, $3S0 each, $T00-total, $3,T00. Clear to the management, per week, $2,300. From tbls stage ot the disease Its farther derel- opment is fatally rapid. The Tlotlm either bor- rows, begs or spproprlatea all the money be con possibly command, and, with the rosily lUusiTe flgnres dazzling his eyes, he plunges Into the tur- bulent waters ot theattlcal manncement. The chilling effects of that first plunge are Instantan- eous and terrible. If tbe reaction does not kill the patient, it to apt to cure lilm—tem- porarily, at least. He may suffer a relapse In cose he is eyer again able to borrow, beg or appropriate; bat ao long as Ma affliction to known his chances ot raising the wind are en- couragingly small. This severe treatment, how- ever. Is too harsh to bo generally advocated. It may effect a permanent cure, bnt It does so at a terrible price. The victim wh* has smilingly figured ont a weekly Income ot •1,300, who has ex- pounded to circles ot admiring friends his own cherished views on the subject ot theatrical man- agement, who has repeatedly affirmed that any theatre can be mode to pay U it is only properly conducted— the over-confldent neophyte who has staked his fortune, or more trequently that ot his friends, on his nntrlsd abilities as a manager, who has rushed into print to point out to the pub- lic what the pabllo really wants, and who itotens wlthr undisguised contempt to the warnings of ex- Iierlenoe—^thls viotlm, this neophyte, cannot be expected to undergo the plunge-treatment with- out serloaa consequences. The suddenness of the shock may sven prove fatal. At the end ot one little week his rose-colored Oguree have assumed this horrible shape: Bent, $S00; stock people, $700; advertising, printing, stage-bonds, gas, ushers, scene-palntetB, carpenters, nphol* Bterers, and a thoosand Incidentals wbloh he never dreamed ot in oonneotlon with a theatre, $1,000; total, $3,300. Six'eTenlng performances, average receipts $90, $H0; one mattnee (two 04'* vertlsed, but only three doUaM In the honse on Wednesday, and, accordingly, no performance), $17.60; total, $SS7.fi0. Blzty centa on the dollar to the UIostTlous star—etrange tbat the viotlm ot manlo-managerta should have forgotten all obont the iUostrloas star—$334.80; whlob, deducted from the total rsMlpts, leaves $233 wherewith to detrsy the $3,300 azpensas. Clean loss In one week, $I,8Tr. These ore the flgnree which were to yield $3,800 a week proSt. Bnt wone even than the showing are the loss of that glorious self-oonfldsnce which sustained the po- tlant and the bursting ot the bubble ot vanity.

Hatches are announced In pretty nearly every town In tha country, and challenges ore OylDg about In such numt>ers that it is out of the question tQ_keop track ot them all. The mania seems to have seized upon women al- most as fiercely as upon men. Indeed, there are probably more embryo Mme. Andersons Just at present than there are undeveloped O'Learys. As tor champions, we have them absolutely without limit. There is the champion of the Third Ward ot Keokuk, who is thirsting to measure strides with the champion of tbe Fourth Ward of Oshkosh; and there is the cham- pion of Tumlp Comers, who to morally cer- toln that he can walk the boots off of tho cham- pion ot Potato Hollow. All this Is well enough, and TBS CUPPEB rejoices to seo the growing popularity ot any kind of athletic tserclse; but, IC we offer a word or two ot advlco In tbls cod- necUon, we hope that neither tho champion ot Tumlp Corners nor any ot his rivals will take offense. Walking Is not only oneot the beat tonnsot bodily esert:lse, but It is also, under proper con- ditions, the most natural and enjoyable. To the man In robust health a five-mile turn In tho braclDg momlDg-air is tbe only tonic he needs. If he koeps bto eyes open he will find tnat hto Jaunt refreshee his mind as well as strengthens his body. It Is not surprising that the art of walking—for art it is—should possess a peculiar fascination for many persons who are not at- tracted towards other forms ot outdoor exercise. Its simplicity recommends It, to b^in with, and Its necessity. In a great many cases, oompels prootioe. And yet very tew penons know how to walk. Vbr tbls reason, tha Impetus which pubUe matches have given to pedastrlanlsm Is an excel- lent thing. The piotssslonal walker wbo, by awakening general Interest In bis performances, awakens also o general deetra among those who see him to master bla art, should lie regarded a pnbUe benelBotor. Bat Just here It strlkee us that a dtstlnrtton Is to be drawn. Because walking Is a capital thing In Itself. It does not follow that e> ai jhu dy bl ss s ed with sonnd lags shoald enter the arena as a profeaalOBal pe- deetrtoDu Becotise OXsary earns his bread by Indnsttloosly tmdgUig aboot a sawdust track. It Is not to be assumed that mankind at large Is to devote bis energies to a similar pursuit. The mistake which tbe champion ot Tumlp Ooraers mokea is In oherlabtng the belief that pedeecrion power la ot no oooount nnleee it oan be dtoployed before on admiring crowd in a public holL Hefolls to perceive the benefits ot knowing how to walk unless they lie la dtvldlng gstiKssoney. Be to Strang In the faith that he needs only the oppor- tunity to perform wonderful teats. He gives him- self up to spasmodic training, and perhaps under- takes a twenty-four-hours' Jaunt merely to ebow hlBtrlendswhathelscapobleofdalng. In this pre- liminary trial, on a track of his own measurement and according to the record of bis own tlme-keep- era. he to credited with covering more miles in the given time than anybody has claimed 10 cover before. On the strength of thto ollcged perform- ance he elta down and writos a challenge to the world, signs himself the champion of Turnip Cor- ners, and feeds his vanity on the thought that he is at last fully launched on tbe sea ot profession- al pedestrianlsm. If it eo hapi>ens that his chal- lenge to accepted, and if he finds backors among his unaopbtotlcated admirers, one pabllc trial to usually enough to satlsty the ambitious amateur, and more than enough to satisfy his backors. Put fairly to the test, hedlscovers that bto boasted powers fall far short ot the limit which he pre- sumably reached when walking for his own amusement. And be leams by bitter experience that feats of great endurance or strength are not accomplished without long training and patient practice. While Tee Clifpeb would not for a moment be understood as discouraging walltlng-matches. It would honestly advise the champion ot Tumlp Comers to refrain from Issuing any more cbal- lengee. To make pedestrlontom the buslneaa ot one's lite to no trivial matter. The man who suc- ceeds in that line mtist be poesessed of rare physical etrength, remarkable staying pow- ei8 and indomitable pluck. To theee by no means cammon qualities mtist be added proper training and a due amount of ex- perience. Even then tbe ohances of achiev- ing marked success are not ovemumerous. IjOt walking be assiduously cultivated, and let the aspirant for pedeetrlan honore strive as iierslst- ently as he pleases to beat tbe best recorded per- formances; but at tbe same time let him con- tent himself with the aattofactlon which hto private elforts bring. Thto should be reward enough without seeking to get his bread and butter out of pedestrlontom.

Through the eourteeyot the gentlemanly and nnaasnming young Engltohman who has been thought gtwd enough to send across the broad Atlanllo 10 try and irtn book the belt held by Oliampton O'Leary, we are thto week enabled to present to our readers a portrait ot ObarlBS Bowel], the aame being a reproduction of a picture which he. by onr reqnest, sat for on Monday morning, March 8. A sketch ot hto career before the public will be found npon anoiher page. As regards the result ot the ap- pmooblnjg contest, while evidently qnlte eonfl- dent as to the Issue, Bowell to tar trom boasttul, simply saying that It tslr play to guaranteed him, as he has no doubt will be the case, he feels capable ot doing a big pertonaonee: and It he can't win, he thinks he won't be tor behind the victor. His appearance and maimer cannot but Impress very tavorably all who meet him. THB ASTIiBY BBCT. Vpon another page appears on ortlole relating to the competition which to to take place at Oll- more's Oarden, this olty, next week, commencing at 1 A. Monday, March 10, and ending at 11 p. K. 16, between Daniel O'Leur of Ohioago, 111., Charles Bowell ot Cambridge, Eog., Oliarlea Har- rlman ot New York, and John Ennto ot Chicago, the same belnir tbe third oonteet for the posses- sion ot the Astley belt emblematic ot the cham- pionship of the world. The articles of agree- ment OS drawn up in London, signsd by Buwell, and torwarded to the office ot The Tvrff t\tld ond flirm for O'Loary's oonalders- tlon, have Iain at that olDce ever since, and aro unsigned by any of the American prlncipato, wbo decline to attach their signatures, because certain provisions thereof do not meet witb their approval. The chief trouble llee In the fact tbat deQnlle provision to not made for the dividing of the gate-money between three or four contest- ants, neceseltatlDg some alterations in the docu- ment, which win doubtless be perfected at the coutercnce tbat will ensue upon tbe arri- val of Mr. Atkinson, the representative of the donor of the belt and RoAvell's advisor, wbo will probably reach bere March 1 or 8. It Is llkoly that the arrangement for the di- vision ol tbe receipts will be about as fol- lows: If only one man covers 430 miles, he shall take oil tbe money; It only two cover 430 miles, the man traveling the greater distance shall take two-tblrds, and ihe other one-third; it threo men cov<>r IjO miles, the winner shall have one-halt tlie receipts, tho second man 3u per cent., and the third 20 per cent.; If all four cover 4S0 miles, the wluner 10 toke one-half, the second man 2i per cent,, tha third 15 per cent., and fourth 10 per cent. It would seem that tbto should cover the ground, and prove ant- tofactory. In the betting O'Leary to of course tbo favorite, and among the larceet amounto wa- gered are f 4,000 te tl,000 that O'Leary tieats Har- riman, and {3,000 to $1,000 on the neld against Harrlman. Kelly t Bliss have opened a Iwok on tbe evcDt, and oCTer tbe following: 75 against 100 on O'Leary, 100 to 43 against Bowell, 3 to I agaliut Harrlman, and 10 to 1 against Ennto. The scoring In the contest will be attended to by members of the several amateur athletlo clnba in thto vicinity, each day's work twlng per- formed by a separate club. So tar as now known, the following arrangement to likely to IM made: Monday, New Tork Athletic Club; Tuesday, Brooklyn Athletic Club: Wednesday, Harlem Athletic Olub; Thursday, Sootttoh-Amer- Ican Athletic Club; Friday, Manhattan Athletic Olub; Saturday, American Athletic Olub. The floor laid down tor the Arlon festival will remain In plaoe during the walk, eo the conpetltore and spectators will not be annoyed with clouds at stl- ning dust. Special provision will be made tor the aooommodatlon ot ladies and their esoons during the oompedtlon, a portion ot tbe bnlldlng tieuig set apart for them, with offloers stationed so as to prevent the Intmslon ot other speetatoia. Smoking will tw prohibited in this port ot the gar- den. The track will be laid ont to suit the oom- peutors, and a dty-snrveyor will msssnre it In their pressnoe. and tarnish the manogan with a oertiOcate regarding Its length. The ratreah- ment privileges ot the garden for the w4Mk were let on Saturday evening. The bids were opened In preeenoe ot the oompetttoie. the award being to the bidder who offered $1,628.38. The next higbeet bidder was tl,soo, and the loweat t*60. 'WKSTOK'S 'WAX.K. A cable dtopatch trom London, dated Feb. SB, says: "Weston, at halt-past eleven o'clock last night, left Windsor to walk measured mllee In an endeavor to regain hto arrears, havtng alxty-flvo miles to moke up. At twenty minutes past three o'dlockthto morning he had gained ntieen miles, wben he rested for three hoars for sleep, being overcome by fatigue. By ten minutes ot nine o'clock he hod added ten mllee to tito gains, leav- ing torty mUss ot arrears to make up. He will continue at bto task until four o'clock tbls after- noon, but it to not iMlleved he can encceed. Tie Standard says: 'There to no chance ot Weston flnlahlng hto pedestrian undertaklog on time.' A dispatch from Windsor says: 'Weston will lose by atmut five hours, but he will Onlsh walking 2,O0U miles.'" Another dtopatch states tbat bto 1,000 hours expired at 4.10 p. v., 28. when thedto- tonce walked was 1,977K miles. UOtVES DKIPKATS VACOIIAIT ASD LEWIS.
