PEDESTRIANISM.—Edward Smith and James Byrom
(the Lancashire runner) decided their half-mile race over
22 hurdles, on Monday, for 20 sovs., at the Bee-hive Ground,
Walworth. It will be remembered that these men ran
dead heat on Monday fortnight, and considerable interest
was excited as to the ultimate decision of the match. Smith,
however, from having contested a race on Monday last, and
whispers that he was not exactly up to the mark, was at a
discount, and his friends hesitating to bet, gave courage to
those who stood on the Lancashire man, and 6 and 7 to 4
were offered. At five o'clock the men came to the scratch,
Smith looking lean and anything but blooming. A lair
start was effected, Smith going first over the first hurdle, but
soon after Byrom showed in advance. Smith struggled
gamely, but could not overtake him ; Byrom having the
turn of speed in flat running, while Smith certainly took his
hurdles in the most practised style. At the close, Byrom
won a well-contested race by a yard or more, running ie the
last 30 yards with appareht case.
