MISCELLANEOUS.
Our Billy Murphy is matched to fight F. Murphy, the English feather-weight, who is a good and clever, but unlucky tighter. Encouragement for our baseballers. Messrs Spalding Bros., of New York, who piloted the two teams of baseballerss through the colonies last year, intend to furnish a handsome cup for each colony to be played for by the different baseball clubs in the different colonies. Never eince the famous riot occurred after the memorable Hutchens-Genb match has there been so much interest taken in any important foot race than that between ' E. S. Donovan, of America, and Darrin, of I England, which came off at Sheffield on July 13th last. The distance was mile, and to decide the international championship. The betting was 10 to 1 on the American, bub Darrin won by 5 yards in lmin 57 l-sth sec, which, considering the very heavy state of the ground, is probably 1 the finest performance on record.
