FULHAM REGATTA.

The watermen at Fulham yesterdaycontended for a
purse of sovereigns, subscribed by the ladies and gentle
men of the vicinity. The match was in three heats, and
the NA hole passed off in a very spirited and agreeable
manner, two gentlemen of the neighbourhood (Messrs.
Walford and Chtisemore) having very kindly undertaken
the management.
First heat.

John Freeman and John Powell (Green) 1
William Hill and John Johnson (Stripe) 2
William Phelps and Jacob Hawkins (White) 0
The distance was from Putney-bridge up to a boat of
the Crab Tree, down to Broomhouse, and up through the
centre arch of Putney-bridge. The winners took the
lead, closely followed by Stripes up to Finch's, White
being close on their quarter. The pace was then too
good for White, who fell astern, the others maintaining
their position.
Second heat.
Stephen Knight and J. Kelly, sen. (Blue)
Joseph Powel and J. Kelly, jun. (Red) 2
William Phelps and Jacob Hawkins (White) 0

EXTRAORDINARY PEDESTRIANISM.
One of the most extraordinay pedestrian performances
ever attempted, that of walking, :however incredible it
may appear, twenty miles in three hours, was accom-
plished yesterday. The match was one of so private a
character that there were scarcely two hundred persons
present; had it, indeed, been known that such a per.
•
tormance was about to be attempted, the assemblage
would have been immense; but as the match Was one be
tween noblemen, and the odds on time of a most extra-
ordinary character, the desire was to keep the matter
quiet, lest there should be any obstruction. The match
was made some six weeks ago over a conversation on.
the subject of pedestrian qualifications, when Lord.
C-- bet the Marquis of W-- 2001. to 1 that he could
not find a man who could accomplish the task. On the
following day Temperance, the well-known and highly
respectable pedestrian, the proprietor of the B lue Boar's,
Head, Lon acre, was applied to to find a man, it being
known thatg- his integrity might be relied on, C. Westhall
was immediately, after a trial by Temperance, chosen for
the performance and put in active training, the contem-
plated
performance creating the most lively interest. So
extremely great was the task that Westhall's training
was watched with the utmost care, and every attention
that reason could suggest applied to him. lie progressed
favourably, so much so that yesterday was selected for
the issue.
The parties met at two o'clock yesterday, at the
Threo Magpies, Sepson-green (about three miles below
Hounslow). The assemblage we have spoken of con-
sisted of the aristocracy, who all appeared most anxious
•to see operations commenced.
At three o'clock Westhall made his appearance at the
starting post, a mile having been measured just below
the fourteenth stone, and walking towards London, a
mile out and in. lie looked extremely well and confi-
dent, but the opinion of first-rate judges was
how-
ever good he was at speed, he could not achieve such a
performance. The result proved the reverse, and its &-
tails and conclusion will be read with astonishment.
Chronometers having been set, the pedestrian started
at a beautiful speed, attended by Temperance, who
waited upon him, regulated his speed, and gave him such
