PEDESTRIANISM.

THE GREAT RACE FOR 2001. BETWEEN REED AND
SEWARD.—Five thousand of her Majesty's lieges, at a
moderate computation,. yesterday lined the road at
Harlington, to witness the interesting struggle, wherein
Henry Reed, of London, and George Seward, " the
American Wonder," were to settle the moot point, as to
which should first cover 440 yards ot ground. To those
who interest themselves, pecuniarily or personally, in
pedestrian performances, the particulars of the public
feats of the men are well known, to others a detail would
be a mere waste of space. Seward, after achieving a re-
putation which placed him on the very pinnao
cle of fa a
me
as a runner for a moderate distance, say 20 yards as
maximum, was in this instance matched against apeetri whose merits at a quarter of a mile had been pa-
tiently r,hadowPd out in his victory over Robert Inwood,
of Tooting. The rumour, t'oo'
ha 3 got abroad that Se-
ward was not all he should be; that he had never re-
covered his strain at Sheffield, &c., &c. We have goo
reason to suspect these rumours to have been an intended
pitfall, wherein hose wo dspised " the man
saw the
in the
street," "at the corn( hr," inatead of falling,
overcunning made a losing stumble. The betting in
London looked like 6 to 4 on. Reed; at the ground it fell
to
Syro 4, level, and lastly, whrn it was found that
ewad was well and confielGiat,, 6 to 4 went begging to a
most tempting extent. Although the articles specified
the race to be run between three and five, procrastina-
tiOn was so completely the ()vier of the day, that it was
15 minutes past seven when e men were en tenue at the
scratch. The vista, as taken -from the vehicle of the re-
feree, some three hundred yards above the trio of mag-
pies, was at this moment pi tcu liar, and perhaps not to b.-
paralleled elsewhere than in .this tight little island. The
