RURAE, SPORTS.
The llundredi of litlmersdon and Weiloiv, ih Sorherget:
shire, were enlivened in the course of last week, during the
annual revel of the former place,, by a variety of rural sports,
which consisted in running, leaping, quoit throwing, and other
trials of skill and activity.
among the prif.tes.adjudged to the successful candidates are
pecuniary presents; implements of husbandry, and materials
for agricultural dress. The pedestrians, undismayed by the
gloom of the atmosphere, assembled *obn After 5 o clock on a
circular plain. hi Ammerilown,park, ctimmosicing their career'
at that anspidous moment, When
" In the western sky, the downward miff
Lddketi out of from amid the flash
Of brdken clouds, gay shifting to his beam."
The mile heat was accomplished in four minutes and forty.:
seven Seconds, by a young person from Wells, of the mime of
Bartlett. He reached the goal apparently but little distiessed,
amid the cheers of nearly a thousand spectators of both sexes.
The object of these periodical exercises is, we understand,
directed chiefly to the_promotion of such habits of active hardi. '
hbod as may be usefulll applied to the. severer dutieS of rural
industry.. The names of the most successful competitors arc
arranged in classes and preserved; arid it is satisfactory to:
to state, that from an extehaive list no instances have kithera
been noticed of dissolute or disorderly conduct.

PZDISTIAN I 811.--MT. R. AB ERN E T lilt startedat 12o'c1oci
oii Wednesday night, to gO to the 70th mile stone. between Ot.:
terborne and Southampton, and retitrn to Pimlico in • forty.
eight hours. The task is more than three miles an hour with.
out alldwing for stoppages, and the attempt is for twenty
sovereigns only. The Pedestrian eat a fowl for breakfast at a
friend's house at Hagshot (his first stoppage)4 having per.
I formed the twenty:sla miles in five hours and a half. He
started again at six o'clock, and took another shack, after
haiing done fifteen other miles at a quarter past nine. Our in.
formation left him travelling comfortably at twelve o'clock,
between the fifty and the fifty-stye mile stone. He has perform»
ed feats Which never were before accomplished, and his object
is to see what can be done.-6 to 4 aNast time.

g6licits-An echo is * reflected sound i the
ancient philosep_hers were unacquainted with the true nature
of the echo. 'he Poets supposed it to have been a nymph,
who pined into a sound, for love of Narcissus. lint the nuidern
state of philosophy has established it upon unerring principles.
ACebrding to the various distances from the speaker, a reflect.
ing object will return the echo of several ; or of a few syllables,
&wall the syllablei must be uttered before the echo of ihe first
syllable 'reaches the ear, otherwiie it will make a' confrision-. In a
moderate lay of speaking, about 311 syllables are pronounced in
one second, or seven syllables in two seconds. Prom the compu.:
talons of a sbort:hand Writei_, it apPeara that a ready and
rapid orator, in the English language, pronounces from
7,000 to 71600 words in an hour namely, about 120 words in a
minute, or two words in each second. Therefore, when
an echo repeats seven syllables, the reflecting objeet is 1,142
feet distant ; for since sound travels at the rate of 1,142 feet per
second, the distance from the speaker to the reflecting object, and
again from the latter to the tbrmer, is twice 1,142. U'lien the echo
returns fourteen syllables; the reflecting object Most bit 2,204
feet distant, and so on. A famous echo is said to be in
Woodstqek!Park, Qxford. It repeats seventeen syllables in
the duty time, and twenty at night, when the air bemie some.
what denser, the sound dote not travel quite so fast. There is
also aremarkable echo on the north side of Shepley church, in
Sussex, which will repeat distinctly 21 syllables. At Rosneath,
near Glasgow, there is an echo that reeats a tune playing with
a trumpet three thud completely and distinctly.
