FOOT RACE.

GOODWIN AND llauntr.—Monday was appointed tot the deck.
lion of the match between these men. to run 500 yards, for 301.
a-side. The giound chosen was between Jack Straw's Castle,
on Hampstead-heath, and the Spaniards, near to Caen Wood.
Goodwin, who is a rain, has been celebrated as a Tanner of ai
short distance, and has beaten Defoe and others. Barry is a no.
vice, introduced to the sporting world by Jack Randall, and to
said to be best at ri long distance. In a recent match with the
Chicken-butcher, for 200 yards, he was beaten. On the present
occasion Goodwin was the favourite, although he admitted himsel
that he had been taken by surprise, and that the match had been
made without his knowledge. The parties arrived on Hampstead.
heath soon after four, and the ground was immediately measured.
An umpire was mutually chosen between the backers, and that
gentleman, on accepting the office, protested against anything like
jostling or unfair collusion—ei protest which was acceded to on
all sides. The start took pace front that end of the road our
Jack straw's Castle, and the men ran with great falrneee st-sL
wi thin about twelve yards of the goal. Up to this point Good**.
had the lead in a trifling degree, but it was then perceptible that,
Barry was getting a-head. In fact, he actually shot forwent
about a yard, and would have inevitably won, but that some per.
son behind shoved Goodwin forward against him. The cam-
' moment fell over him. All was now confusion ; the crows&
pressed in, and Barry having been lifted up by the arm, ran in
in was unable to get up in time
of clamour took place to
quence of this was, that Barry fell, and Goodwin at the sane-
and passed the goal dna.
umpire declared on thp
ktonocwontht
spot that he had no hesitation in believing that Barry would bate
race but for the unfair mariner in which he had been
won the he
had
been assisted up, and had
pushed down ; neverthe ess, as
been, as it were, forced forward to the goal, the inclination o,
his opinion was. that it was net a lair rate, nor ran according to

the rules of running. He, however, declined giving a decide/
opinion till a future day, and until then the matter remains in
doubt. The general feeling, however, is, that the match must
be run spin ; and if so, care must be taken, by means of topes,
to prevent the intedesence of any person whatever with the koala-
peutors. Had this been the case in the present instance. we have
no hesitation in saying that Barry would have won. The distance
was evidently toe long tOr Goodwin, wbo was vr.y much 44.
