halt, and went on to Blackwater, where he took refreshment
by way of lunch at half-past eight o'clock (30 miles). The

table cleared before a quarter past three. lie walked to Wey-
hill, the next 14 miles in three hours, and touched on the 80-mile
stone after three hours refreshment only, at twelve o'clock ut
night, and returned back to within a mile of Andover soon after
three, leaving himself 61 miles to do in 20 hours. He did his
20 miles in the next four hours, when he fell lame, but he con.
tinned on to Golden Farmer Hill, where he was put into his
vehicle, unable to go on. The match was lost by 27 miles,
which he hail eight hours to perform it in dile could. A ten-
