PEDESTRIANISM.
JACQUES AND BRIAN'S WALKING PEDESTRIANISM{.
above-
mentioned pedestrians contested their six miles trial of speed
on Wednesday on the road nearßedfont, on one measured mile.
The speed of Brian in the first two miles was manifest, inas-
much as he headed his man beautifully by full 60 yards; at
five miles his lead was considerably decreased, and on going
up for the sixth and deciding mile, Jacques had so much
diminished the space between them, that the race closed by
Brian winning by half-a-yard, and none to spare. Thestak-e
was 201. a side.
MALLATRATT AND PATTERSON.—J. Mallatratt (of Mans-
field) and James Patterson (of London), run their one
hundred yards race at Rugby, for 201. a side, on Tuesday.
At starting the betting was level, and money was invested to
a large amount. The start was from a single scratch. At
eighty yards Mallatratt had a trifling lead, but at ninety
yards the London man bad reduced the difference so as to
have a slight advantage; eventually Patterson came in first
by a foot only, after an admirably contested struggle.
ROBINSON AND LEE.—J. Robinson (of llucknall)
