PEDESTRIANISM.

Mr. Charles Harris, the pedestrian, who recently completed
the herculean task of walking 1,500 miles in 1,000 hours, has
now made an engagement to perform 1,000 miles in 1,000
successive half hours. In endeavouring to perform a similar
task at the Cricket Ground, Camberwell, a short time ago,
Molloy, the great pedestrian, was unsuccessful. Harris is to
commence his undertaking on the afternoon of Wednesday,
the 19th inst., at four o'clock, and it is to take place on the
grounds of the Bald-faced Stag Tavern, near Finchley-
common. The pedestrian has, it is said, been in active train-
ing since the completion of his last match.
A walking-match has just been undertaken and entered
upon here which has excited some attention in the sporting
world. A young gentleman, an office:, for a wager, it is said,
of 1,000 guineas, has engaged to walk 1,000 miles in 1,000
successive hours. He started on Monday evening at five
o'clock from his lodgings in Domingo-place, behind the poor-
house, and goes every hour, half a mile out and back, through
the turnpike on the new Antrim road. This, we believe, is the
same match that rendered Captain Barclay so famous.
The match must occupy nearly six weeks, day and night. The
difficulty arises chiefly from the want of sleep, which, in the
course of the undertaking must be peculiarly exhausting.
Hitherto the trial seems no trouble to him. He is an exceed-
ingly active, well made young man, and seems admirably cal-
culated for the work. His general plan is to walk two miles
at once--that is, one mile each hour, almost without intermis-
sion, by which moans he has the longer interval. A crowd
generally accompanies him in the day time, which, though
inconvenient, seems not to annoy him, and we have little
doubt that, if not interrupted, he will be able to accomplish his
herculean task.—Belfast Chronicle. We have been favoured
with a letter from the gentleman engaged in the above task,
dated Wednesday evening, a quarter past five, from which we
found that he had then completed his 48th mile. He says,
" I feel much stronger, and have more confidence." His
weight is list. 81b.—his age 25.—Belfast Whig.

At an early hour on Wednesday morning some thieves
broke into the house of Mr. Carter, the Eagle, Kennington-
lane, and succeeded in carrying away half-a-dozen silver table
spoons, with the contents of the till, which were but about
as. worth of coppers, it being Mr. Carter's practice to secure
his cash in another part of the house. The thieves must have
been disturbed, as their booty would otherwise have been much
greater.
The Falcon, Gravesend steamer, which left that
place for Waterloo Bridge at six o'clock Wednesday morning,
ran aground off Northfleet, in consequence of the denseness
of the fog. Some of the passengers went back to Gravesend,
and others were transferred to the Vesper, the next steamer
from Gravesend, as the Falcon could not be got off till the
next flood-tide.

THE LATE GOODWOOD STAKES•

_
In our last we brief!), stated that the gentlemen to whom
this matter had been refs: red had expressed an opinion that
Loutherbourgh is not bred as represented, &c. From the full
report since published in the Racing Calendar, we are now
enabled to furnish a short history Pf the proceedings upon
which such opinion is founded.
Subsequent to the late meeting at G oodwood, Lord Suf-
field, as owner of St. Luke, second hors,' for the Goodwood
Stakes, applied to Lord Exeter, as stewart,l, to withhold the
stakes, on the ground that Loutherbourgh's podigree was in-
correctly stated. At the request of the Nobie Marquis, "
aril
inquiry into his identity was undertaken by Los-Lis Jersey an
Wharncliffe, and from their report it will be seen ,that the evi-
dence, which was voluminous, was not by any n. leans satis-
factory. The following is an outline of the evidentle :
From the statement :of Reuben Piper, former 1:, 550d-
groom to Mr. Holbrook, it appeared that in 1827 he d
mare, called Miss Chance, to Mr. Theobald's, to be loverce
took
by Smolensk°, that he saw her covered, and that in 18 ''B she
produced a filly, afterwards called Fancy, and th, ate

that in 1834 she produced the brown colt, which vs as

that he was got by Mameluke out of Fancy. 'That •nrben be
Fancy to Farrall to be put in training, he did not sat
how she was bred. Although stud grz, om, he declare tha,
he had no recollection of any of Nr. Holbrook's brno:
mares, except Fancy and her dam. Mr. Farrall stat ed
in. 1834, having general authority to enler Mr. Hol breol'l;
horses in such stakes as he thought prope.•.. he named c°
by Camel, out of Fancy, by Phantom, for 2-yr.-old ,stak!ff,
after-
to be run at Epsom in 1836 ; that shortly afte this he was 1,11;
formed by Mr. Holbrook that such entry was wrong ; that v t
had had Fancy in training, had entered her in ti hree stakes As gat
by Phantom, dam by Skim, and as sister to F 'ashion, and that
she ran three times under such pedigree (a inning once
Egham), although shortly after the entries • Mr. HolbroolL
apprised him that she was wrongly described.
Mr. Holbrook was then examined. He sta. ted that he re-
turned Fancy to Mr. Weatherby for the an id-book, as
olt
Phantom, out of Mr. Skim, and as having had,, in 1834, a c
by Camel, but that, in fact, Miss Skim had .no produce ill
1828, and that the entry of a filly as her prodtnle in that yea:
was a mistake. That Loutherborough is got by Maraeloke'
out of a mare by Smolensk°, out of Miss Chan .ce, and that
Fancy is such mare; and finally, that he return, 5d her as',
Phantom, out of Miss Skim, in order not to ex pose Farrel
who had :o described her when in training.

Mr. Theobald's trainer, Brown, jun., stated tbat be I.e:
