PEDESTRIANISM.
JAMES SMITH, OF COLCHESTER, AND CHARLES
POWELL, OF HAMPTON, FOR FIFTY POUNDS ASIDE.—
The toe-and-heel trial of these men, distance ten miles,
was duly brought to a decision on Monday, near the bar-
racks on the Lavant-road, Chichester. The articles
conditioned that Smith should receive one minute's start.
At five minutes past one o'clock the men showed at the
Scratch, Smith went quietly and steadily away, and in
the minute allowed him covered about 240 yards. Powell
followed cheerfully, and started at a fearful bat, as may
be supposed when we say that, at the close of the second
mile, he had gained nearly ten seconds. At the fifth
mile he had decreased the amount of given time by
twenty-five seconds; when the hopes of the friends of the
favourite were dashed by the sixth mile showing that
the pace of the " ould one" was not only unchanged, but
bad, from the fatigue of his antagonist. become nearly
equal to that of the Hampton hero. From this point
the event was neither more nor less than a question of
time. Powell struggled on, never showing, until the last
half mile, that he distrusted his own powers, or gave way
to an idea of defeat. At the eighth and ninth miles,
Smith, who, to an unprejudiced or disinterested observer,
was never in danger of playing second fiddle, was from
150 to 200 yards ahead. In the tenth mile Powell re-
signed, only when perseverance would have been of no
avail. Smith completed the ten miles in lb. 28m. ssecs.
