PEDESTRIANISM.
JACKSON (AMERICAN DEER) AND PIIDNEY, OF MILE-
END, SIX MILES, FOR 201. A SIDE.—The race for 20 80V5..
in which Jackson gave his opponent 200 yards' start,
came off yesterday at the Royal Oak, Barking-road.
There was a considerable muster, and the anxiety of the
Eastenders to see the celebrated American Dear was
general. At five o'clock the men started by report of
pistol, the betting at that time being 5 to 4 on the Deer.
Pudney made the running at a good pace for the first
lap, but was about five yards deficient in speed, as com-
pared with Jackson. In the second, twenty yards was
deducted from the start given; and thus pretty regularly
he lost ground till the seventh lap (three of these laps
making nearly a mile). At this point Jackson passed
Pudnoy two yards in front, and putting on the steam,
left his opponent easily. Pudney was stated, and indeed
he seemed to be, in anything but first-rate fettle. From
the ninth lap, in which Pudney gave in, Jackson ran
on alone, and completed the distance fresh and strong.
Time thirty-three minutes. The ground was tremen-
dously heavy.
A very exciting match took place yesterday morning
on the Bayswater-road between two gentlemen, amateurs,
to walk one mile, for a large sum—Mr. H. and Mr. 8.,
both residents of Marylebone. The match, although a
private one, was attended by a large muster of the sport-
ing world. The betting was inlfavour of Mr. H., who
was attended upon by the celebrated walker, Little
Jemmy O'Brien, and Mr. B. had the assistance of an
amateur, who trained him. The start took place at
seven A.m., when Mr. H. dashed off with the lead,
which he maintained for the first half mile, closely fol-
lowed by his opponent, some two or three yards behind,
when the pace began to tell on Mr. H , who is a good
12st man. Mr. B. then put on the steam, went up, and,
after struggling several hundred yards together, he
passed Mr. H., and wont in an easy winner by 20 yards.
The distance was done in 8 min. 55 secs., not bad work
for amateurs.

FIFTEEN HUNDRED MILES IN A THOUSAND HOURS.
—James Jones, the young pedestrian who undertook to
perform this feat at the Borough Gardens, Manchester,
completed his task on Saturday morning, at ten o'clock.
Jones was so fresh and vigorous that he added a mile
and a half to the 1,500 miles which ho had undertaken.
His pulsation was declared by his surgeon, at the close,
to be about 90, and ho was full of animal spirits. After
three several sleeps, of an hour and a half, two hours,
and three hours, Jones was to commence, at six in the
evening on Saturday, to walk 100 quarter miles in 100
successive quarter hours, which (should he accomplish)
he would bring to a conclusion at seven o'clock on Sun-
day evening.

UNPRECEDENTED PEDESTRIAN FEAT.— 000 Of the
most extraordinary efforts in the way of walking against
time has been commenced by Searles, the celebrated pedes-
trian. At half-past six on Monday evening last he entered
on the task of walking 2,000 miles in 2,000 successive half-
hours; so that, supposing he can accomplish each mile in a
quarter of an hour, he will be walking one entire half of the
time up to the expiration of the complement of the 1,000
hours. The place selected for this amazing display of phy-
sical prowess is a field behind the Pine Apple, High Park.
Up to Friday evening he had accomplished nearly oue-sixth
of his task, and exhibited no sign offlagging. Great numbers
of persons of all classess daily throng to the place to get a
look at this remarkable man, and innumerable bets of every
conceivable amount are perpetually being risked on the re-
sult, about which Searles is sufficiently confident to lay two
to one in favour of himself. Professional men say that his
powers of endurance are extraordinary. He abstains from
intoxicating drinks, but consumes a large share of animal
food, as much as eight pounds in four meals.—Liverpool
Journal.
