THURSDAY, AUGUST 19.
The razes an Thursday were equally interesting' with those of
Wednesday, but more particularly the race for the Thirty Guinea
Sweepstakes, in which there were a number of St. Leger horses.
In fact, from the running, and from the management that has been
shewn off, the alterations in the betting for the Doncaster St. Leger
must be very great.

FINtSIII Or TIIE GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCH TOR 200
Soy EREtt:Ne.—The match of Alfred itlaegowal star, Is decidedly
first on pedestrian record. It is already before the public that he
started nn Monday morning, the Ifith inst. to go from Shortslitch
to the 200 mile-stone on the road to l'arlisle, anti return to London,
in five days and twelve hours, and that he had performtsl half the
distance in fifty-four hours. He was well at this time, and confi-
dent of winning. The pedestrian refreshed at Brotherton, 21 miles
on his way back, at six o'clock on Wednesday morning, and pur-
sued a steady course of sometl.ing less than four miles an hour, and
reached Sutton at nine o'clock in the evening. On Thursday the
pedestrian reached Stamfonl, end halted at two o'clock in the'
morning at ‘Vandiforti, rather indisposed, for the first time. lie. I
however, had time left to ease his journey. and lie :,erfornsod
miles that day to Stevenage, leavi-g himself 11 miles ta accomplish
in the twelve hours. When at Whetstone he went to and fro four
miles, from the 11th to the lith miln-stone. and performed the lOU
miles et Kentish Town, in 20 minutes within the ;men time.
Between two anti three o'clock on Friday afternoon, the
roof of the house inhabited by Mr. Leev, N 0.4, !lemming's-row,
St. Martin'a-lane, suddenly fell in. The upper rooms were in-
habited by a person named Ballard, and at the time of the ac-
cident not fewer than tine persons were in the renm. Two of
those. Mr. Ballard and his daughter, were buried in the ruins,
but the latter was dug out without any material injury. We
regret to say Mr. Ballard was not so tbrtunate—his injuries were
so severe that he was conveyed to the perm house opposite with-
out hopes of recovery, and tip to eight o'clock on Saturday
night the medical gentleman could give nu hopes of preserving Ids
