GREAT FOOT RACE.—The foot race for 50/. aside
between Butler and East, two well-known pedestrians, came
off yesterday at Hayes. In consequence of the presumed
superiority of Butler, his backers gave East five minutes'
start, in a distance of twenty miles, but notwithstanding
these great odds, Butler was the favourite in sporting cribs.
Both men had been in active training for the last month,
and considerable sums were bet at sto 4 on Butler ; but
in consequence of a report which had gained circulation on
Saturday night, that he had been taken ill, a change took
place, and East enjoyed the favouritism at about the odds
above quoied. The men appeared at the twelfth mile-stone
on the Uxbridge road, to walk to the thirteenth and back, at
a little before two o'clock. Preliminaries having been
arranged, East went away with his five minutes' start, at a
amart rattling speed, and was followed after the stipulated
interval by Butler, at an equal, if not superior pace, and he
gained twenty seconds in the first mile. In the second and
third miles, however, he lost ground, but then, with slight
variations, to mend again ; and at the end of the
tenth mile had reduced the five minutes' start to four.
East continued to pursue his course in capital style, and so
obvious was it to men acquainted with such matters that
cs
Butler could not win, that 4 to 1 was freely offered on East :
which increased in many instances to 6 and 7 to 1.
In each succeeding mile East improved his advantage, and
at the end of the
the eighteenth mile Butler resigned, his oppo-
nent being attime nearly a mile a-head of him. East
walked the remainder of the distance in order to claim, and
completed the twenty
itw miles in three hours fourteen minutes
ten seconds. Butler, it stated, was attacked with cramp
in the stomach two or threeas timess during the race.
