PEDESTRIANISM.

WHITE LION GROUNDS, HACKNEY-WICK.
TEN MILE MATCH FOR FIFTY SOVEREIGNS, BETWEEN
WILLIAM RICHARDS, THE WELSHMAN, AND JACKSON,
THE AMERICAN DEER.—Monday afternoon having been
appointed for the decision of this interesting match, a large
concourse of spectators assembled in Mr. J. C. Baum's
popular enclosure to witness the race. Richards is known
as having been for some time past under the tutelage of W.
Price, and has proved his stamina in several contests. The
prestige attached to the name of the American Deer has been
great, both in the United Kingdom and America, for a long
number of years, and his performances have been unques-
tionably first class. Indeed, few old pedestrians can boast
of having surpassed him in speed and endurance. Both
men seemed as fit as training could make them. Richards,
coming from the home stable, was waited upon by Sam
Barker. There was no betting. The signal having been
given, the men bounded away in good style, Jackson having
a slight lead, and was a yard or rather better when he
covered the first mile, in 5 min. 4 sec. The Deer was still
in the van when the time, 10 rain. 27 sec., was noticed
the end of the next mile. In the 17th lap, Richards put on
a spurt, and speedily passed his adversary. At the termi-
nation of the third mile (15 min. 51 sec.), the Welshman
was 30 yards a-head. When the fourth mile had been tra-
versed (21 min. 22 sec.), Richards had pretty nearly halt
lapped his mau. Both were struggling gallantly, although
it was evident at this early stage of the proceedings that the
veteran was compounding gradually to his more youthful
opponent, despite the resolute perseverance for which he is
celebrated. Five miles were accomplished in 26 min. 58
sec. It would be wasting space to give more details.
Richards over-lapped his gallant competitor in the 60th
lap. Six miles were done in 32 min. 31 seo., seven in 38 min.
20 sec., eight in 44 min. 4 sec., nine were covered in 49
min. 46 sec,, and the winner careered over the specified dis-
tance (68 laps for the 10 miles) in 55 min. 40 sec., at this
time Jackson being one lap and 20 yards, or 260 yards in
all, in the rear. Richards was thus hailed as a deserving
winner, and it is a feather in his cap to have defeated the
once-celebrated Norwich-born American Deer.

RE-ASSEMBLING OF ME7ROPOLI74.N
VOLUNTEERS,

Saturday was, generally speaking, the day appointed
, for the re-assembling of Metropolitan Volunteers after the
I holidays, but in most instances the musters were meagre, '
and the example set by the officers was anything but calcu-
lated to have a good impressie,n upon the men. In one or
t wo instances there was not, a single captain of company on
the commanding officer's parade, although the colonels were
present, and the occasion for assembling was that which
volunteers usually so much appreciate—a march out with
their bands. This is a state of things much to be deplored,
and it is quite obvious that the men cannot be expected to
attend, or be found fault with if they do not attend, in the
face of such examples from the officers. There is only one
remedy, and that is, that where the commanding officers
are themselves attentive to the duties devolving upon them,
they should insist upon attendance on the part of their
captains and subalterns, and where it is not complied with
at once, call upon the absentees to resign their commissions.
Unless this is done, and officers are compelled to pay some
little attention to the duties they promised to perform in
the papers they filled up and signed before they were en-
trusted with a commission, the men will become daily more
and more careless, until, in the end, the movement will
melt away, and become gradually a thing of the past.
Whilst the musters on Saturday in some of the corps, for a
march out, were ridiculously small, in one instance, and it
is not the first one, in the case of a well known and popular
volunteer corps, the muster was of that limited character
that the commanding officer was ashamed to march out
with them, and after waiting more than an hour beyond
the appointed time for the parade, the men who had assem-
bled together with their bands were dismissed. In some
cases the excuse was that the hour appointed for the parade
was too early, and, no doubt, in several instances that does
act materially on the musters. Many of our metropolitan
volunteer regiments are composed in the main of the work-
ing class, and where that is the case it is impossible that
men can be expected to leave their employ on a Saturday
afternoon at two or three o'clock, which they must do
to be on parade, possibly a mile or two distant, at half-
ost four. Hence the absurdity of a corps recruiting at
great distances, as some of the metropolitan corps are doing,
from the district in which it is established, and where
the mass of its members do or ought to reside. All
these matters weigh greatly in relation to the question of
getting good musters for battalion drills and marches out,
and it would not be a bad thing if the suggestion could be
carried out, that there should be (of course with the con
sent of the volunteers themselves) a sort of exchange into
regiments established in the respective localities where men
reside, and where they could attend drill on all occasionswith much more convenience to themselves than thayPos.

THE HAVELOCK RIFLES
__The Havelock Rifles assem-
bled at a late hour on Saturday night, in the quadrangle of
Somerset-house, by permission of the authorities, for batta-
lion drill, under Capt. and Adjutant Le Stiange, and there
was a fair muster.

Patrick Cain
, who has confessed that he was the
person who threw the poker at the late Mr. H. Raweliffe,
of Kirkham, was yesterday committed for trial on a charge
of manslaughter.
Several German journals had announced that
Hanover had formally rejected the Franco-Prussian treaty
of commerce, after having first accepted it in principle,
making its adhesion, however, subordinate to a unanimous
accord of the States of the Zollverein. The Hanover Gazette
denies the truth of that assertion, and declares that the
Government of King George, in the new note which it has
transmitted on the subject to the Berlin Cabinet, confines
Itself to maintaining its former opinion.
