walking," lekai idi gn,l'i'rehrasd a
cros,'d immense, the ground all that could be desired. and the
atmospheric temperature just what would be wished by the
men engaged in such an arduous struggle, are truisms which
none who went abroad on Tuesday, the 17th of March,
can dispute. At Bedfont, then, starting from about the
thirteenth mile-atone, towards the twelfth, in the direction
of Hounslow, at twenty minutes to tour the start took
place, Powell receiving half a minute's advantage. Of
this stipulated privilege he made 116 yards, ere his antago-
nist strode away from the starting-point. The first, mile was
turned by Powell about 60 yards in advance of Bradshaw ;
but here we must note an error of the Hampton man, who
walked beyond the terminus line some four yards, thereby
losing eight. The tittle of Bradshaw's first mile wart V mi-
nutes 12 seconds ; that of his competitor 8 minutes 22
seconds, giving margin for his extra ground covered by mis-
take. And here a word about " time." Walking and run-
ning matches seem especially obnoxious to this mystifica-

It should be observed that this was extraordinary time,
and that while we cautiously avoid understating it, we
have a guess that it was a " short mile." Fairer walkers,
tee and heel, than both the men, it has never fallen to our
lot to behold. The victor was all his friends could desire,
and the defeated man lost no credit for honesty or gameness.
In the third mile up some blockhead turned his cart into the
road, so as to cause Powell to swerve, and leave his straight
course, but, nevertheless, his chance was out, Bradshaw
walking in, within himself, a clear first by some forty yards.
The betting at starting was 5 to 4 on the Hammersmith hero,
but so soon as they were off it sunk to evens. At the fourth
mile, when Bradshaw came up to his man, the odd; whit up
