PEDESTRIANISM.

JOHN SMITH AND AN AMATEUR.— A smart contest
of 100 yards, for a dozen sovereigns, between mine host
of the White Hart, Drury-lane, and a gentleman
amateur, who fancied himself somewhat fleet of foot,
came off on Monday at Child's-hill, Hampstead. By the
conditions it was stipulated that Smith should give the
novice 12 yards' start, and, as the event proved, the Re-
gent-street Pet had his work cut out in regaining the
advantage he thus allowed. After a pretty fair start the
amateur ran well and spiritedly, so much so that in the
first forty paces Smith had scarcely lessened the interval
by three yards ; after this, however, he gradually gained
on his opponent, caught him within five yards of the goal,
and ran in first by a bare half-yard. Some of the spec-
tators declared it a dead heat, but the referee decided
otherwise, and Smith pocketed the stakes accordingly.
SEWARD AND WESTHALL.—The stakeholder in the
match of George Seward and Charles Westhall, for 50/.
aside, has given up the stakes to the former, on the
ground that Westhall was not at the appointal place be-
tween the hours specified in the conditions.
EAST AND POWEI.L.—It is understood that the corn
petitors in this much-disputed walking match, have
assented to the proposition .to walk again. The day,
however, is not yet fixed. For the credit and prosperity
of a manly and heathful sport, let us hope "a clear stage,
no favour," and a desire to do right will mark the next
meeting.

THE WEATHER.—On Mcsday a very marked alte-
ration in the weather took place, notwithstanding that
the wind had during the evening of Sunday again veered
from S.W. to N.N.W., accompanied by a sharp frost at
an early hour in the morning, the wind was due north,
the temperature of the atmosphere at the Royal Hu-
mane Society's Receivine.'. House, in Hyde-park, being
24 Fahrenheit, but as the day advanced the thermometer
rose ; near four o'clock it was at 33, with every indica-
tion of rapidly rising, the wind having veered from N.
to S.W., at which point it appeared to be stationary,
accompanied by a thick, heavy mist and fog, which be-
came so dense at the west end of the town as to cause
much confusion and danger to pedestrians, from the im-
mense number of carriages and omnibuses, particularly
in Oxford-street and Regent-street, delayed by the fog
from the fear of collision and the streets being crowded
with a great influx of passengers owing to the holidays.
The train from Carlisle, due in this town at nine
o'clock on Thursday morning, did not arrive till eleven,
having been delayed by the breaking of the axle of the
engine near to Fourstones station. The mail train from
the south, due at ten o'clock the same morning, was also
delayed till three in the afternoon, in consequence, it is
said, of a luggage train having got off the line near to
Rugby. The north mail, due at three P.M. on the same
day, only arrived at six o'clock on Thursday night, in
consequence of the slippery state of the roads. The
south mail, due yesterday morning, was upwards of an
hour behind its time; and the express train due last
night was also delayed beyond its usual time, owing to
the state of the weather.—Newcastle Jovnal.
