PEDESTRIANISM.
J. SMITH AND H. Boos..—These two men met last
week at Cranford-bridge, and after remaining three
hours and a half at the scratch, were obliged to put off
till yesterday. They met at four o'clock, at the sprint-
ground attached to the Old Hat, Ealing. At this meet-
ing Book it seemed had made up his mind not to go, for
after nearly two hours in absurd feints and offers Smith
offered to give him one yard start and go off by report
of a pistol. This was declined, and daylight, as well as
the patience of the spectators, being worn out, the men
live to humbug the public on another clay.
STEVENS AND HERYBY.—These men ran one hundred
yards for 5 sovs. aside, Hervey giving two yards start
and beating his opponent, after a severe race, by a yard.
W. PAYNE AND QUINTON.—A ten mile race between
these men for 50 sovs. aside came off on Tuesday, on
the Epping-road. Payne went off with the lead at a
rattling pace, and at the end of two miles was 200 yards
in advance, this he continued to improve, winning just
as he pleased. The winners time was fifty-nine minutes
fifty-eight seconds.
