PEDESTRIANISM. ©O'LEART WICTOZIOTE. . The great sgony of the walking-match between Daniel O'Leary aud William Payson Weston is wver, and the Chicago bos has shown that bis * yowers of enduranceand sfrength aro greater han those of the man from the Empire Stll'h sud has proved himeelf a champion, and won t.‘m itle of the champion pedestrian of tho world, in » manper highly creditable to himself. Al day yesterday a large crowd of men, wom- ®, and children visited the Exposition Building, wd by 2 o'clock in the afternoon thara ware oot 358 than 4,000 persons there, which by § o'cloock sad incressed to nesrly 5,030, and s long line of yeople wero waiting on the street to reac the Scket-office. A 'DESCRIPTION OF TITE CROWD. . The crowd in the afternoan was cool 2nd de- ‘@wous, and preeented rather the best and worst lements of society, with very little ol the inter- pediate thrown in. As daylight waned, the mowd became slimmer, and between 6 and 7 p'clock was rather hight. Butat the latter hoar eommenced a rueh almost uoparalleled. The approachse to the Expoition Bailding were sur- rounded by s surging m2ss of bumauity, esger to procure tickets. Excitement could not bave reachad s higher pitch, it would seem. for ap- pearancea indicated slmost a wild deliriom of the throng that besieged the building. THA BUSS-BEES, ¥oney-takers and doarkeepers were kept bney alike, and before 8 o'clock tbe reccipts at the ‘yanricus ticket-offices figured weli up to 24,000 for the day, which would up to that time indicate that over 8,000 pareons had vicited the buildiog. Bat, if thers was g0 grest an excitement with- eut, it was nothing compased to that within. The crowd was dense; sweeping hither and thither,—shouting, yelling, or cheering. Tha crowd was motley, but largely respectable; it represented wealth, standicg, and brains, and thieves, gamblors, spd ronghs. Ladies were there in large numbers, somo with husbands znd some with lovers, but all bad a ternbly hard Lime of it in the ccaselestly moviog and poiey throng. . C wers present in goodly nambers, | and they seemed to iake a zreat intereet inthe walkers, sud had a marvelons faculty of just gettng whero they were not wanted. In front ;of the judges’ etand the crowd assumed tii: . character of & mop, snd was largely compesed .of the bummer, political, and gambling ele- ments, ecattered throngh which was asiill grester portiou of thieves, rowdies,” and pickgbckete, stc., who, no doubt, by pretended crowding oa anany cccasions, phied théir nefarions vocations. The policead trouble with this crowd, and were several times overshelmed, tho mob taking pos- -sesgion of the tracks. A GOOD-HUEORED CROWD. P The greater portion by far of the mase within the buitding, which by 9 &'ciock numbered faily 8,000 people, was orderly, and consisted largely of workiogmen, many of whom brought their wives and children with ihem, and to eay the Teast they muss have bad aovthing but & pleas- ant time of it - Throughout the building, here, thers, and everywhere, were presented LUBICEOTS SIJHTS. 8 large crowd of urcins had takenm poesession .of the mammoth fly-wheel atihe north end of tbo building, which by some meaas began to turn, andin a ehort time, adozen or more were sprawling in the pit. Tbey resumed their perctes, however, and at different #mes shared the same misfortunce, but always resumed their places egamn, Thne great elevator, the town- clock, and the pagodas, &ll had tbeir crowds on top of them, butup inthe galleries the loftisat perckes presentcd tnemgolves. Numeroud boys and men had climbed up the trusses and equat- ted on the iron supports, near tho roof, and held their places calmly, coolly and deliberately. A TREACHEROTS TOSITION. Near the large elevator soms boys sat down on the planks laid on the tron roof-supports, but tho planks bugan to sag, aca s fall of over 100 feer was threatened to those mpon them, which re- sultedin & quick retrest an® a very bad scaro to some. Tnough the crowd made a grost deal of noise, it was very good-natured, and though it felt pleased with O'Leary’s teat, it did pot forget to heartily cheer the New York Iad. And now let us look at the men after they resumed their walk yesterdsy morning, and mive s few of the interestiog points as thoy occurred. THE WALEING. O'Leary, who had retired at his 425th mile at 11:30 o'clock Friday night, resumed his task at 4:30 yesterday morning, looking as_bhale and hearty as migbt be expected under thé circum- staoces. He walked very steadily ail day, and did not show faligue to any great extent notil after the close of lius 503d mile.. Weston started on his trip at the same time 38 O'Leary yoster- day morniog, but he bad retired forty minutes leter. He did not look as fresh s O'Leary, and faith in him was lost by betters, who were willing to risk but little on him. ‘Weston had made a great mavy boasts which, uufortunately for bim, he coald ot Iive up to, O'Leary kept up his gait very steadily all day, and both men were hberally encouraged by therr friends throughout the walk. At 5min- ntes to 8 owlock last night O'Leary bsd reachod his 435th mile. . while Weston was only on-his 439th. The crowd chieered ustily as the men went by, and esch of<)’Leary's 1sps only incressed the excitemen.. The crowd zbout the judges' stand was vers boisterous, axnd the police had more than their hunds full, though they wore present in large forco, to keep back the crowd. At 8 o'cloc! O'Leary was rublied dows, and drank a cup of ot tes. . Wea- won was encouraged by crics of * Buliy boy,” *goin,” etc. At O’Leary's 490th mile there was vast en- thusiasm shown, which was with the greatest dificalty kept in bounds. Each mile ooly added Tuel to the flames, and 2t tho 495th the apnounce- m:l“L‘ “t:lmmd:l mh.:, g’lwy would cdbtinue to walk until midnig] ough he would com iz 500 milee by nna.dfflgui i o e 4971 mile MasteF McAndrews took the track wita O'Leary, and they made some steps together, the vonth off to advantage.

As he nexred ‘the judges' etaud on his 500th mile, u terrific cheer ient theair, hats fiew up, the bang Plaved, and the pedestrisn’s wife preseuted him With » magnificsot basket of flowers. Weston & 7 ——— this time was making his fourth lap on the 445th mile. Altogether O'Leary walkad 503 miles and two faps, the last of which, two-sixths of a mile, were sccomplished in fcur minntes. Weston walked 46}l miles and four laps, cr four-sevenths of mile At nearlv 12 o'clock O'Leary _ended bis last milo. and waited on the track for Weston, who was comirgin an oppositedirection. The crowdat once surronnded them, and it was with greas dificalty that they mado several turnsof the track to- gether. O'Lesry was then presented with n msrsive gold medal 88 champ:on of. the world, and the men wers taken awav and the crowd dis- persed. The scorers also lef: nc once, and the resuli was consequently obtained with great dif- ncn‘uy, though 1t may be relied on ns being cor- rect. RESUME, At the ond of the walk O'Lesry had traveled 503 miles, of which 78 wers mado yesterday. ‘Weston walked <51 miles, of wiuch 61 were com- pleted yesterdsy. . = O'Leary gained oa Weaton yesterdsy 17 miles, making the entire 500 miles in 142 hours 13 min- utes, hus $00 miles at the West Side Rink having been accomplished lass May in 153 hours and 17 minutes. THE SCORX. o' Niles, Time, [ 3iles, BASE BALL. SOME FINANCIAL FIGURES. The fact thst baso ball as a professional exhibi- tion was started in the East, and had a compara- tively flourishing existence in New York and Philadelphia before 1t w38 ever known in ths West, has for s number of years lod to an undue assumption of author:ty by tho Athletic, Matual, and Atlantic Ciubs. The mansgers of these in- stitntions have monopolized the goveroment of the National Associzstion and the mombershif of the important Judiciary Committee, and when- ever s case bas come up as between tho east and west sides of the Allegbany Mountains there has pever been a decision in favor of the West, no maitef what the merits were.. A long list of wrongs suffered by the Chicago Club alons might ‘bo adduced if proof were nocessary. Now, in order to justily tha attitude of su- periority referred to, there should be some solid ground of merit in eomo particular necersary to the ezistence or progperity of the game of ball, There can be po dispute as to the GEEATER AVEEAOE EXCELLENGE OF PLAY East than West since the demise of the Cincin- nati Bed Stockings, bns this alone can bardly give ground for the position spoken-of. Ths gamo conld and would go oo just abons as well 1f there were no championship. Bat in the next and far more impertsnt par- ticalar it can ba sl tly shown that the West is far shead of tbe Easi. This latter item is, of comss, the support afferded to the game, and the interest taken in it by the people of the sov- eral cities where professionsl clabs are lo; csted and where chawpionship games are played. There is no use in ignoring & question 80 vital fo the interest of the game as the finan- cial one, and in refereuce toit almost solely should the question o influence be referred. 1t has been above stated in a genersl way that the West supported base-ball much more hib- erally and justly than the East, and it may fait- ly be said, 1n additicn, that the West has for two soars carmed the Eastern clubs on its shoulders. In order to puc this sasertion beyond cavil, SOME FIGTZIS bave been collected aud compsred for the pur- pose ot exhibiring the gross and average receipts of Eastern clubs which have played in Chicago for the two seasons last past, and of conirasting these firures with gross and avorage receipte of the Chicago Club where it plared return games in Eastern cities. ‘The uniform duvision of gate receipts which bas been :n force for two years all over the country has made this financial statement entucly uczurate, and the receipts of each ciub may be et at ane-thiid of the gross receipts when on foreign grounds, and two- thirds of the gross rece.pts whea playiog on ita own grounds.

The di- rect 1otlaence of auspected honesty in plavers way also be seen in this falling away. After spparentiy well-grounded charges were made against Philadelphia players hardly suybody went near their games, and under the direct in- fluence of this suspicion thoy played gamea where they paid over $35 and ¥3 as the Chi- €ago's sUATE of the receipts. o CILICAGO ¥, AZRLETIO, 187, 1875, Gzmes in Chicago, 1 Athlctic's tewl receipts, S1,164 8346 Athleuc’s aversgo receipts.. ) 169 Games in Phitedelphis 4 Chicago's total receipte. 53 252 Chicaga's average reeeit. 124 0 Gross difference o favor Chicag: 2% 654, Aserage differenco in favor Chicag 454 o The effect of having two clabsina city may be ssen in the ubove a3 well 88 in the Philadel. phia exhibit, and no s:ronger srgument is needed to show the saicidal policy of the Philadeiphia ball interest in this respect.

In 1875 the Eastern clubs played twenty-four gamea in Chicago, and received an sverage of $236, while during the zame year the Chicagos played twon- ty-erzht games Ensl, aud received an average of §88 each game. Taking the two years together tho Eastern clubs received an average of §347 for ench of fifcy-seven games, winla tho Chica~ gos took as their share of tho gate money in fiftr-nine Eastern gnmes 8110 por game. theso Sigures, covering two years' oxperience and 116 gamee, do not show the superiority of the West ovor tho Eest, theu nothing ean. Itap- pears that Chicago was in both years together more than THREE TIMES AS'PEOFITAPLE as the Esst, and in 1875 about five times as profitabie. i St. Louis and Cinciunati have purposely been lett out of the comparison with the Chicagos, be- canse tho contrast to be drawn was betwoen East aud West, It may, however. be said that in 8t. Louin the pest yvear the Chicagus have been treated very generously, end their share of the roceipts of tho games thors was larger than the sums paid to the St. Louia Club here. The Chicagos have also been well received in Cin- cinnati, and have found %heir trips to that city wore profitable than lo any Esstera city except ton. In these figures no attempt has been mado to show the total recoipts of the Chicago Club, be- cange thoy were largely mads up of games With amatenrs, and in Cincinnati and St. Louis. Tue moral of this preachment is sunply this : that the ridiculous airs of ownership of tue game which Philadelphis snd Now Yoik havo put on in paet years most be doffed in the mtoreat of justice, and heroafter tho West must bo treated a8 an equal. Tbe futcre may bring forth 4 WESTEDN UNION which would leave out tho overweening Athlet- ics entirely, nnd if Harry Wright woald move his nine out to Indianapolis, it wight eesily be that the corrnptionists of tho East would be loft to gell games to each other. Chicago, St. Lomis, Cincinoati, Louisville, and Indianapolis, with o goodclub mn Milwankee, Clevelsud, or Bufalo, would be s large enough liat to set up for ituclf. NOTES. ¢ Spalding will arrive mn Chicago this weaelr. The Intest cuty aspiring for s professional club Jimmy Wood has sterted & plensant bass-bail’ “hesdquarters at No. 139 Twenty-gecond street. Reach, Sensenderfer, and McBride, of Phila- dn:}:hin, contemplata the formation of a Conten- nial nine. to be ruu on the co-operativo plan. It is rumored that the Mutuals will cesse to cxist after this sessor, and that Matthews, Start, and Hallinao, of their nine, will play with the Philadelphis next season. The Boston Clab management has cansed tha scores of their players to be figmied out on basis of base hits per timoes at bat. In this way Darnes, McVey, and White boad the list. A rumor traveling around the papers is, that tho Philodelobias will try to get up o mnine next vear. The following statement is tagged to 1 : ** Bob Addy, oue of the moat honorable of ball players, will act as Captain.” A tenable objec- tion to this is that Addy's contract with the Chicagos is in the club manager's safo. —_— BILLIARDS.

As considerable intarest exieted on account of the trial boing a test case, an upusnally: large crowd was 1n court to witoeea the proceedings. R. S. MacDoasld, Esq., Presidentof the Humano Scciety, appesred for the State, aud J. D. Johnson, Esq., for Caph Bogmdus, and also for tho Sporisman's Club, which claims to be incercsted fu the result. The evidenco showed that Capt. Bogerdus was & professional markaman and was known as the cbampion trap-shot of the world ; that ho mude hig living by displavs of bis alill in that particn- Isr. It was also proven~that on the 8ih of November he shot and Lilled twenty-five pizeona at the Abby race-track befors an assembly of about one hupdred parsons to exhibit s Won- derful cuoping with the use of the shot-gun. It was ghown by the defenso that the rvigeons be- longed to ths Sporismen’s Clab, and after being shot they were gathered up and given away to persons who ata them as food. A witness toetified that teme pigeons were good hunian diet. though by no means a luxury. After lengthy argumenis of the lawyers the matter was submitted to the Court, and Judga Colvin gave his views in full. He declared that the kilhng was uunccessary, and that the man- mer of Idiliny was cruel. That defendant had no right auder the law to Lill pigevns eitber for sport or to dieploy his skill in the nse of tha gun. The defendznt wag fined 250.

There Can Be an Election if the City Is Not Redistricted. Officers to Be Chosen in April. At & recert meoting of the Conocil, resolutions were offered calling upon tbe Corporation Conn- scl for an opinion a8 to the time when the terms of the present city officers would expire, what officzrs chould be electod at the firat general clection, whep che wards should be redisticted, ete, Bhe opivioa of Corporation Counsel Dick- ey, which will bé submitted at the Council Mon- day, is as follows : o Crry Law DEPaRTeNT, CHICAGO, Nov. 18, 1875.— To tne Honorable the C.ty Counel: The questionr mentioned in your resolutions of the 15th inst, have teen considered. Firsi—The time fixed by law for the next regular and general election for city officers I8 the third Tues- darln )Aprfl next (Sec. 48 predent charter, puge 415, B . 15T4). 3 Second—The oficers to be voted for at that eloction are toirty-six Aldermen, City Clerk. & City Attornay, and a Cify Treasurer (decs. 49 and 12, and such other officers as the City Council may, in the meantime, [provide to be olectod at that timo by the legal voters of the city (Sec. i3). Lktrd—The torm of the present Mayor will expiro upou the election and qualification of his successor required by, luw t0 ba elected t the general clection for city offiters to be held on the third Tdesday in April, 187 Suce. 3, 43, 42, and T The respeciive tarme of the Bresent Aldermen of tho city, and of the present City Clerk, City Attorney, and City Treasurer, will oxpiro upen tho clection un qualllication of their resgectivo successors, re- quired Ly, Iaw to e ecloctéd ot the general election for city officers to be held on ‘the thizd Tuesasy in April next (Seos. 3, 49, aud 72), In the present “state af the atatutes and ordinances the resgestive terms of the present city offizern holding by appolntment will end when {heif respastivo suce cescors are appointed on the coming iu of the suce cessor 1o the present Aayor, Tiso Mayor and cach of the other present city officers who hold office by clection, wero reapectivery elacted for b contingent term, to dopend upon contingencies tuen future; that i3, each one af these wfilcers was elected to hold for the term fixed for him under the old charter uniess Quring that term tho present char- ter al:ould be adopted, and in that event to bold his oflico until the elsction and quuiffication of a like otiicer, as his 8 1icessor, to be eiectad at ths firat gen- eral clection for sach officer, to Occur under the Eresent chartor next succeeding tho sdoption of the charter, and this whether the term waa in that way rendered longer or shorter than the term named in the ol charter. Dy tac new charter an eloction for Mayor was pro- vided for at the general eloction to be held om tho tiird Tuesday in April, 1873, and biennially thereaftor (Sece. 48, 49, and 72), and a geaeral ewection for tho other elective city cilicers is provided to be beld on the third Tuesdsy in April in each year (Secs, 48 and 7). sud it is alio provided that, on tiie sdoption of the new charter, the city oficers then in office shall exercise £ho powers of Lile oflers under the new charter until thelr reapective ancceasors e elected and qualified, .and thero is no provicion for the eloction of such suo- ensors, except ot the genaral eloctions for such officers s boveatated (See. 3, p.go 112), It follows that the law creatis no vacancies in any of those otiicea until the time for the ganeral clection for their respectiva successors, It has beon sugnestd that such extension of cer- t8in of these terms beyond the time named in the old charter {8 o violation of the Constitution wheze it 8u38 “No law shall Lo poszed which sball operate to extend tho term of any public officer after his elec tion,” This Liw undonbiedly does in -some ense operite to extend the term of 8 publio officar, but it s not pamsed after tho olection of these oficers. The meaaing of that clause of the Constitution wiil ba more apparent if the words be trsmaposed thus : “Xo law which skall operate to_extend the term of sny public officer shall b« pasaed after his election.” ‘Thie words “after his elsction,” refer clearly to the time of tho passae of the lsw, and mot to the timo_beyond which the term shall not go, 1f 0 law can bo passed by which the term of an officer can convinte after his election, evideutly no public otficer could havo any term at all, for his term docs Dot begin until after his olection, ond if it cannot be allotied to extend to any time lafer than his election, thera s plaiuly no time when the term could possibly Lave an exietéuce. The evil practico forbidden is that of passing statutos after an_oicer's election, by which the term is made longur than that provided by Law at the tmo of the eiectien. .In this casp the term wis provided for by law in 1874, and beforo thesa eloctions, 1iad the adoption of the Tresent charter occnrred in January, 1875, in euch case the termsof i thesa officers, Tesrectively, would have ended npon tue elec- tion and quutltication of thelr resvective successors,— ‘which, according to the law, would have been electex atan eiection on the third Taesday in April laat, and in that case these terms would resectively have Leen made less than the respoctive terme named in the old charter. Tue present charter having been adorted after the third Tuesdsy in April of this year, the legal eect of such adoption ot that time was to extend the torm of the Mayor untl 1877, and to extend tie term of each of the cther officers elected 1n November, 1574, some fivo months longer than the term for such ofl- cers mentioned in the old ckarter; and to reduce the term of exch of the oriicers elocted'in Novetaber, 1674, toa term fomo seven months shorter than the term named in the old charter. ¥ourth—By the provislons of the new charter, the city should be redirtricted or dizided Into elghteen ety befora th geuer clection for clty oficéra, to Lobeld on thetbird Tuesdny in April nezt, and 3 fength of time before that day, sufhcient to enabls tne City Council to cvuso at twenty dsys’ notics of suck eloction to b given (Soca, 3V, 83, 48, 61, and 56, Fifth—You eak also, “Can regular election for city officers takaplace before the city has been ro- districted,” A Teguiar election for all city officers cannot take plice Leforo the clty hea been thus rodistrictod or ivided into eighten wards, although I think a valid electlon may in such css be Leld. Should the City Council fall to divide the cltyinto wards before the general election in April noxt, and shou'd the City Council fail to appoint tho place or plares for such election, and fail to cause atleast twenty duys’ notioe of such clo.tion to ba given es Te- quired by tue statnte, I think the votersof tbe city wo'd have the luwful right to elect by general ticket a2 such election thirty-aix Aldermen,a City Clerk.x City Attornoy, und 4 City Treasurer, and such an election would be valid, altiouga not regular. To adoptany otlser view wnould lead t0 the preposterons cenclusion that a City Councii under the present laws of the Grate couid, by & palpable disregard of the duties im- puseil by Liw upou it, perpetuate its own existeace and Iawtal right to govern the city indefuilely and forever.

The column marches to the Colloge, rezded by Dean & Nevans' military band, sod casplaving several splondid bauners.” Tke wavicg plumes and dsshing regalia made a very fine appear- ance. The brildiog was surrounded by severs! thou- .8a0d people,.—the platform being on tho first story, which is nearly comploted. All the orders camo upon the stand, where sll propeua- tions were made for TRE CEREMONIAL. The stone was placed, susgeaded from s dev- rick, at the northeast corner of the College. ‘When all was in readiness, President Freer in- vited the Grand Lodge of Iilinois to lay the- corner-stone in due form. Grand Master Cregier accepted the inwitation in the following terms : Brethren, Sir Kaights, and Freemasons: From time immemorial it s been tlio custom of the anclent and honorablo fraternity of Free and Accopted Misons 10 Iay, with axclent forms, the corner-stone of build- ings crectod for the worship of God, for charitatle objects, and for the dissomination of knowledge. This corner-stone we_may, therefore, lsy in accordance with our law, and thus testify our respect for thase who aro engaged 1n promoting a sclence which is for the benefit of mankind. In conformity with the teach~ ings of Freemasonry, it in our duty, in all onr under- takings, to seek the'nid of Almighty God. e, there- fore, invite oll present to unite with our Grand Chsp- 1ain'tn an nddress to the Throne of Grace. Prayer was then offered and joioed in by all reseut. The Grand Master inquired of the rand Treasucer whethor ke had o his posses- sion the memorial-box costaining fhe usual dooa- meuts snd rabes. The Troagurer responded in the affirmative, and the Grand Secre.ary read the Lst of con- tents, as follows : Daily and weekly papers put- liabed in the city, medical journais, all orders and circulars of the Faculty &ince tha fire, copies of the proseedings of the Grand Lodge of Llli- Dois in 1874, names of officars of the Facalty, ete. The box was then deposited in the place left in the corner-stone for its reception. The baod played soteinn masic » bile tho archi- tect delivered the tools. Cemcnt was spread by the Urand iaster and Dr. Freer, after which the glona was lowered by the derrick into position. The quarteits sung the invocation-hyma be- ginning, ** Great God, etern: The proper officers then applied the square, :luvul, and plumb, and declared the work well one. The elements of consecration were ponred upon the stooe, and the Grand Mastor invoked the Divine blessing. Proclamation of the work was made by the Grand Marehal, after which the quartette sang the closing ode. DB. J. ADANS ALLEX then came forward to detiver tho grand oration, and was received with grest eothusiasm. Owing to the crowded condition of our columns it 18 impossible to present Dr. Adams’ oxcosdingly able and eloguent address in full.
