J. TOPLEY'S MATCH AGAINST TlME.—Yesterday (Monday)
Mr. J. Roberts' Ground was selected for the performance of
this match. The conditions of this arduous undertaking
were that, for a bet of £5O even, Topley had been backed to
walk seven miles and a half within the hour, the pedestrian
being backed by Mr. Wakefield, while Mr. Ambrose was the
backer of time. This feat had been accomplished some years
since by C. Westhall, the pedestrian ; it therefore cannot be
regarded as an unprecedented performance. As a pedestrian
Topley has only recently come into notoriety. He is 19
years of age, stands sft. 4iin., and weighs Bst. 81b., so that
from this it will be seen he was of diminutive dimensions ;
yet he is a well-made, compact little fellow, and it was ap-
parent that his trainer, John Smith (the Regent-street Pet),
had done all that skill and judgment could accomplish_
The meeting was attended by most of the leading sporting
men of the metropolis, among whom we noticed Joe Wor-
maid, the champion of England, who had " rubbed out" al
the lines that had been drawn by his late opponent Marsden .
The betting was 6 to 4 on time. The pedestrian had to make
the circuit of the course 30 times, and when the customoanr7
officials had been appointed, Topley, attended byth_ ieesTgutid
tor, W. Price, came to the mark. On receiving ti
1 • oin a style

took him along for a round or two,

sec. Smith went with his 44masnecthe
W. Price went with the game little fellow for a lap. During
the performance of the third mile Topley seemed to tire a.
little ; and although he lN.as doing his work to "time," yet
it was the opinion of some good judges that he would tire,
and fail in the completion of the task. Four miles were
marked off in 32 min. 5 sec. and the first five miles of the
distance were completed in 40 min. 3 sec. Topley was still
doing his work wonderfully well, and so confident were his
friends that they offered 2to 1 that he would win. Six
miles were fairly walked in 47 min. 471 sec., seven miles
in 55 min. 30 sec., and the entire distance, seven miles and.
a half,
was accomplished in 59 min. 16 sec.; so that Topley,
who was completely exhausted at the finish, and must have
fallen, had he not been caught in the arms of his friends,
won this great match, with 44 sec. in hand.
RACE BETWEEN GREEN'S NOVICE AND OWEN.—Theso
lads ran 130 yards for 5/. a-side, when, after a well-contested
race, Owen, who allowed his opponent a start of two yards,
won by three feet.
