ATHLETICS.N. Y. A. C. Owing to recent professional doings of the well-known amateur walkers, F. H. Armstrong and F.

...short on every man in the race. An endless wrangle immediately arose as to who had really won, every man of the thirty-nine insisting that he was the individual, and the race was finally declared void. In the same way arose an error by which Mr. T. H. Armstrong was credited, as we noticed in our last issue, with a "best-on-record" for three miles of 21 min., 17 sec, whereas we are now told that an error of 25 sec. was made, the true time being 21 min. 42 sec., or six seconds slower than the best...
