Parmsraraxisn..—The match from Hyde-park to the 44th
mile-stone, between Reading and Straddeldsaye, on the Basing.
stoke road, and back again, computed at something under 80 miles,
was undertaken by Mr. Jenkineon, the pedestrian, at four o'clock
on Ni'ednestisty morning, choosing the nearest track to the 44th
stone, which is, however, a modes ate. He took the Oallangham
road, and when within three miles of Reading, he turned sharp to
the left, guided by his umpire through Shinfield, saving nearly
five miles by his route. He performed this distance in ten hours,
the weather being much against him ; and he made his first stop,
on his return, at Oaklnghaen, and reached Bracknell (28 miles
from London) at ten o'clock at night. He proceeded through a
tremendous rain to Staines, where he remained dead beaten, only
sixteen miles from his journey's end, at twelve o'clock, when he
took post-chaise for London. It was generally supposed that he
was beaten by the weather, end he was backed for double the
present stake, 200 sovereigns, to go the above distance within four-
teen days at which period he cannot anticipate better weather.
Capt. Smith, of Cheam, Berke, was his guide and umpire.
FORTY-TIGHT MILES I Nitre 111011111 L—Mr. West, the
pedestrian, backed himself to go from the top of Sloane-street to the
Bmckinghamslitre foot of Blaidenhead Bridge, and back to half al
mile on the London side of Hammersmith. The start took place
after the clock had struck twelve on Thursday night, for a wager of
one hundred sovereigns, and twenty more that it was done in twenty
minutes within the given time.
talc': pedestrian reached Slough
(20 miles) in three hoofs, and half the distance in four
hours and ten minutes. He returned back to the Half-way House
on the 51aidenliesd side of Colnbrook, ate a hearty breakage, and
left himself something less than 18 miles in four hours. He did the
first tub with 11 minutes to spare, and of course lost the second.
