GREAT PEDESTRIAN MATCII.—The long projected
foot-race of 100 yards between William Robinson, of
Newton-moor, and George Steward, alias Sherrin, was
decided on Monday, in the presence of an immense assem-
blage of amateurs, on the New-road, Hammersmith, ad-
joinirAg the Thatched-house. On account of the pro-
surr,ed equality of the men, judging by their previous
performances, a more than usual degree of interest
veas excited, and the betting, although commencing at
5 and 6 to 4 on Robinson, settled down to even money at
starting. Precisely at half-past two o'clock the men
were brought on the ground; and after no less than nine
false starts went away at full speed, the American having
the advantage by about half a yard, which he continued
increasing until he arrived at the winning post, beating
his antagonist by about two yards. The distance was
run in nine seconds and a half. Sherrin, by this victory,
has placed himself in the eery first rank of runners for
a short distance, and it would be very difficult to find a
competitor who would have any chance with him. It
was generally remarked that more money was laid out
upon this race than upon any similar event for a long
