AN EXTRAORDINARY FOOT RACE OF 40 MILES
FOR 10/.—A wager was laid a few evenings since be-
tween Mr. John Frost, baker, of Hendon-street, Pimlico,
and Mr. Thomas Peter Gage, greengrocer and fruiterer,
of the same street, that he (Gage) could not walk a fair
toe-and-heel race of 40 miles within 10 hours. The
Place selected for this most extraordinary match was
two miles of measured ground at Hounslow. At 3 A.M.
yesterday, May 17th, Gage being properly equipped,
not having any previous training, started off at a steady
Pace, performing the first 25 miles in 5 hours ; he con-
tinued his speed until the end of 36 miles, when the
pedestrian became much fatigued. After partaking of
some slight refreshment he started off with renewed
vigour, as if not having previously walked, and cleverly
performed this most wonderful undertaking in 8 hours
and 54 minutes, being 1 hour and 6 minutes less than
the given time. Through the kindness of mine host o!
the 13e11 at Hounslow, Gage was immediately put to bed
and received every attention and congratulation from
perform
his friends. In two hours he arose, and after partaking
dinner, the pedestrian started for limlico, where he
was received by his friends with every mark of con-
gratulation they also being astonished Gage could
such an extraordinary undertaking.

OLYMPIC THEATRE.
Last evening a drama in five acts, entitled the Lords
of Ellingham, was performed for the first time at this
theatre. The author, Mr. Spicer, is already known
to the theatrical world by his plays Honesty and
Judge Jeffreys, which evidenced the possession of
considerable fancy and ability on the part of their
author, and met with fair success. The Lords of
Ellingham, though one of the last enacted, appears to
be one of the earliest written of this gentleman's
plays. The mainspring of the action is a dark spirit
of vindictiveness harboured in the bosom of the prin-
cipal character, Lawrency (Mr. G. V. Brooke),
against his cousin Dudley Latymer (Mr. Davenport),
which moves him to the most direful deeds of perse-
cution. The origin of this hateful feeling is thus
explained in his concluding address at the end of the
drama :

" With all the serpent passion of man's soul,
I hate thee, Latymer! From infancy—
From merry childhood—hate thee! Thou hest been
The shadow on my path—cloud of my air,
That shut out heaven—the reptile on whose scales
I trod, and slipped. Ev'n from that earliest time
When, sporting in the woods, I plucked a rose,
The queen. flower of the fields, for Edith's hair,
And you—the stronger—tore the coveted prize
Away, and bade me seek if all the woods
Held such another:—from that hour thou hest
Forestalled me ever. Who was't taught me sin?
Wbo, hate?—Who, jealousy? Whose influence drove
Tllhyattorrotoutree h
dd
me
eesfrrt to
omoNruitld athynd fatrhecerklseslsovwea, ys,
And set my bark afloat in life's wide sea
With scarce a sail? Who took my promised bride—
My beautiful—whose fair possessions might
Have given the outcast beggar wealth and home?
Why, thou—and thou—and thou 1'
The author hinges the story of this hateful and un-
happy character upon an event known as the "Ra-
leigh Conspiracy," A.D. 1603 ; the object of which
was the advancement to the throne of Lady Ara-
bella Stuart (cousin•german of James I.), and in
1 which the name of one Lawrency, or La

eomplicated for detail. It may be sufficient

and several others engaged in the conspiracy, who are
put to death off the stage with cruel tortures, de-
scribed with terrible vigour by Mr. Brooke. There
are many effective situations in the Course of the
play, and some good passages in the language.
But upon the whole it went off very heavily
until the last act, when the introduction of the
corpse of Edith on a bier, and the death-scenes
of Latymer and Lawrency in presence of it,
was a daring novelty, which, wrought up as it was by
the fullest powers of lungs of Messrs. Brooke and
Davenport, who seemed determined to outroar one
another, caused what the French call " a sensation."
Mrs. Mowatt's—though given somewhat to whining
and an exaggerated style of action—was, upon the
whole, an effective performance. Mr. Brooke had a
part which seemed to fit him very well, a regular
out-and-out stage villain, and he gave it in the darkest
possible colours. Mr. E. Stirling made a good pic-
ture of the part of one Hugh Kensell, a gaoler and
headsman, the father of the betrayed Edith, who her-
serf found a pleasing and interesting representative in
Miss Marie Duret. The play requires curtailing. It
was not over till near eleven o'clock. It was, how-
ever, listened to with attention, and at the fall of the
curtain the applause was loud and unanimous. The
principal performers were called for, and afterwards
the author, who bowed in return for the compliment
from a private box.
