On Wednesday week, at four o'clock in the afternoon, 3lr.

48 successive hours, in a field near, Cockbridget and completed
his arduous task, without anyapparent distress, in 45 hours anti
53 minutes, haVing rested in the course of the time B,i hours ;
and consequently had walked four mires 2.10 yards each hour
during the whole of the time that he was actally on foot.—(Car.:
&le Journal.)
A foot race of an hour was run yesterday on the Edgeware.
road, over a two miles piece of grottnd, between Lieutenant
ASULEY anda 11IL Wir.i.ounituY, and both turned out Food
runners. It was for a rump and dozen and ten sovereigns.
Both run their first two miles abreait in eleven minutes nine
seconds, the second in twelve minutes and twenty seconds, the
third in thirteen minutes And nineteen seconds. flere the
Lieutenant took the lead, and did the next two Miles in four..
teen minutes and fifty seconds, leaving his adversary about
thirty yards in his rear. He kept his distance it-head, rather
increasing, during the remainder of the race. The Lieutenant
won the match by more than a hundred yards, he having per_! formed nine miles and a few yards. over in the hour.
A rough looking countryman, in a smock frock, and very
unlike a runner, was brought forward to run a quarter of a mile
within a minute: He was matched for five sovereigns, when peeled, he threw oft the clumsy disguise. Proper watches
having been sets he performed the task in one second within the
given time.
