PEDESTRIANISM.
JAMES DELANEY AND RicHARDs.--A.ccording to ar-
ticles these men (the first of Gray's Inn-road, and the
latter of Marylebone) met at Mr. Emmerson's,, Old Hat,
Ealing, yesterday, to decide the race of 120 yards, for
51. aside. It will be recollected that they ran 150 yards
a short time back, Delaney receiving two yards start,
which, after a good race, Delaney won by three yards.,
Richards, not being satisfied with his defeat, made the
present match. They made their appearance on the
scratch at a little after four, and soon got off, Richards
having a slight lead, which he could not maintain, for
at ninety yards from the starting-place Delaney was
three-quarters of a yard in advance. This distance he
kept till within ten yards of home, when his opponent
improved his pace, and, after a clipping
contest, was de-
clared the winner by a barefoot. Just as Delaney was
breasting a

with great force. Had it not been for this accident,
caused by some disinterested party, Delaney would have
won the race.—Betting— 7 to 4 on Richards.

FIFTY MILES IN FOUR HOURS.—A trotting match
took place on Thursday last at Hatfield, in which a,
horse, the property of Mr. Richley, was backed to trot
fifty miles in four hours and a half. It seems the horse
had been running for a long time in one of Richley'a
omnibuses, between London and Waltham Cross, and
the match arose about three weeks since, out of a con-
versation respecting the powers of Mr. Goffe's black
horse Nicolo. Mr. Richley said he thought his horse
could perform the same feat Nicolo had performed last
year, upon which a wager of 20 sovs. to 5 was laid. The
horse was taken from the omnibus and put to rest ; and
on Thursday last was taken to Hatfield, where he per-
formed the task upon five miles of ground between that
place and St. Alban's, resting for five minutes at the end
of every ten miles, and won easily in four hours and
thirteen minutes, being two minutes less than the time
occupied by Nicolo.—Berkshire Chronicle.
" FORGIVE OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE OUR
DEBTORS 1"—On Tuesday, a Mr. Stalker, belonging to
Dunning, shoemaker by trade, arrived at Perth to settle
an account of one pound with an importunate creditor.
After the account was settled, he had not a coin left to
pay his fare back by the Central Railway, so that the
poor man took the road and was found next morning
lying dead within a short distance of his own door. It
is conjectured that he had sunk down from complete ex-
haustion, struggling over the heavy nada and through.
