PEDESTRIANISM. '-,

HAUKNiY-WICK.
RACE BETWEEN WM. LANG (OF MIDDLESBOROUGH)
AND SAMUEL BARKER (OF BILLINGSGATE) FOR £5O AND
THE TEN-MILES CHAMPION' S CUP.—These celebrated
pedestrians first contended for the above trophy on Mon-
day, the 14th of July last, when Lang, to the surprise of
all, defeated Barker after a well-contested race.
There could not have been less than 1,000 spectators, and
when the usual preparatory matters had been adjusted, the
pedestrians some ten minutes after four o'clock came to
the scratch, having to make the start under the superin-
tendence of W. Price. The pedestrians having responded
in the affirmative to the question, " Are you ready ?" the
signal to go was given. No sooner had the lads opened to
their "work" than the lead was taken by Barker, who went
rattling along at a clipping pace, Lang so close up in the rear
that they were not more than two yards apart. In this
manner the men continued racing until going round the
bend of the course in the back stretch,when Lang, in one of
his fine spurts, closed on his opponent, and on the termina-
tion of the mile (4 min. 56 secs.) was leading, though Sam
was so close up that the provincial did not hold the lead by
more than a yard. When they had gone by the referee for
the commencement of the second mile, and were racing up the
back stretch in the eighth lap, another variation occurred,
Barker putting on the " electric " in a surprising manner.
The first two miles were run in 10 min. 15 sec., and when
this portion of the distance had been accomplished Barker
had the lead, though Lang was clearly making a waiting
race of it; and had the provincial so thought proper, he
could at any time have wrested the lead from his opponent.
The whispered " gruff " was now passed among Barker's
partisans that the game was, even thus early, "all up."
Barker had been taken with internal cramp, and although
he was trying to shake it off he could not succeed. As he
passed along, in the third mile, Barker's head was bent
forward with a painful expression. Barker struggled on in
difficulties to the finish of the third mile (15 rain. 52 sec.),
when he was compelled to resign ; and thus left Lang in
undisputed possession of the field and of the cup. Owing
to the manner in which Barker was compelled to " cut it."
the spectators were much disappointed, for this was fully
expected to be a match well worth witnessing.

WANDSWORTH.
MATCH BETWEEN JAMES SEEL (OP STALEYBRID(IE) AND
JAMES MILES FOR £5O AND THE TEN MILES CHAMPION'S
BELT. The match between these men, they having to con-
tend for the ten miles champion's belt, took place yesterday,
on Mr. John Garratt's ground, when there could not have
been less than 1,000 spectators assembled. Miles has taken
rank as the leading pedestrian of the day by so nearly accom-
plishing the great feat of walking, fair heel and toe, 21
miles in three hours ; while Seel, aithough of provincial re-
pute, is far from being unknown among the metropolitans.
The conditions on which they had to contend in the present
match were that Miles should allow his opponent one minute
and a-half start. The pedestrians had to make the circuit
of the course forty times to complete the distance. The
ground was in ammrable order.
The betting was 2 to 1 on Miles, and there was much
money laid. Miles bad for his attendant Oliver, of Chelsea,
while Smith did the requisite for Seel. Both men looked to
be in remarkably good form. Seel, on the ticker being set,
went away at a good pace, to make the most of the minute
and a half he had to receive, and in the given time the pro-
vincial succeeded in covering 400 yards, so that he was
nearly a lap ahead of Miles, when the champion received
the office to start. When Miles dashed off he put on a tre-
mendous spurt, and continued to gain upon his opponent
mile after mile, until he had so reduced the gal)
that Seel
was not more than fifty yards ahead. This advantage had
not been gained on the part of Miles without great effort,
and the manner ho had to tax his physical powers to cut
down his opponent, proved in the end too much for him.
Miles, when he had accomplished the eighth
mile, pulled
up and resigned, and as he left the ground it was
apparent
that he was suffering greatly. Seel had, therefore, to walk
the last two miles by himself.

RACE BETWEEN ALEISONTO; Bow LEE)
AND GEORGE
BEDDOW (OP LONDON), AT BRADPORD—PtIrSILaRt to arti-
cles these pedestrians met on the city enclosed ground, Brad-
, ford, to decide their long pending and exciting race, they
having to content for supremacy in a spin of 440 yards
for £26 a-side. The meeting was well attended by the
sporting fraternity of the North, while some of Beddow's
metropolitan partisans also put in an appearance to wit-
ness the struggle being these renowned pedestrians. The
betting was in favour of Albison, there being a good deal
of the needful invested at 2tol on the provincial. Mr.
Holden, of Manchester, who was final stakeholder, had to
appoint the referee, and all the preparatory matters being
adjusted, the pedestrians came to the mark. Both men had
been well and carefully trained for the race, and in condition
were stated to be all that could be required. The referee
having taken up his position, the signal for the pedestrians
to start was given, when on the instant they went dashing
off on their fleet career, the start on the part of both men
being well effected. Between these fine athletes, whose
speed as fleet and powerful runners is so well known to all
who are patrons of the sport, a race replete with interest
ensued for the pride of place, which, on the termination of a
good race, ended in Albison going by the goal, a winner by
three yards.
