PEDESTRIANISM.

AT HYDE-PARK, SHEFFIELD.—WaIking match of six
miles for two Silver Watches and a Silver Guard—John
Johnson and Joseph Harrison, of Sheffield; James
Thompson, of Heeley; John Harrison, of Hackenthorpe;
Henry Stead, of Ecclesfield; George Rhodes, of Eccle-
sall, to start from the scratch; William Robinson, James
Plant, and Reuben Dalton, of Sheffield, allowed 100
yards; Thomas Knight, Hoskin, and Marriott, of Shef-
field, 150 yards; John Drabble, of Attetchffe; Samuel
Wing, Charles Pashley, and John Knight, of Sheffield,
200 yards start. Eight started, and the match was
won in good style by Pashley, Marriott taking the second
prize.
THE Novßt. RACE IN CIA:MS.—Luke Furniss agreed
to run in regular Lancashire clogs one mile, while his op-
ponent, William Gibbons, did the same distance in racing
shoes. They went off at the first signal, Cloggy taking a
short lead, but" Luke the Labourer," who is a penknife
cutter by trade, pushed on with his wooden " under-
standings" till he reached the hotel the second time
round, when he passed his opponent like a dart, and on
ascending the hill, the third titre, he passed his anta-
gonist, who dropped the contest, leaving Luke to win as
he pleased.

WESTEIALL'S SEVEN-MILE MATCH FORTY
SOVEREIGNS, AGAINST TIME.—On Tuesday, Charles
Westhall, of London, performed a remarkable teat, at
Hyde-park, Sheffield. He walked twenty-four times
round the ground, besides 128 yards on the ground, thus
completing the seven miles, two seconds within the hour.
It is a question whether he did not go round the ground
twenty five times; if that was the case, he did more than
the distance stipulated .
RUNNING MATCH FOR 1001.—A match has been made
at the house of Mr. Thomas Cullingworth, Westber,
Sheffield, for 50/. a side, between Jackson, better known
as the American Deer, and Sherdon, of Sheffield, to
run two miles, in five weeks from Tuesday last. One
part of the agreement s:ipulated that the "Deer" should
give Sherdon 31. to run near London, and that each
should have a due share of the money received. This is
a match which will excite more than usual interest,
Sherdon being a splendid two mile runner, and the
" Deer" more accustomed to longer distances, possessing
lasting qualities rarely equalled.
