P EDESTRI ANIS M.
The match against time, for which Captain Parker, of liother.
sail Hall, in this neighbourhood, has been a short time is training,
was, on Tuesday last, decided near Buxton. Caps" Parker un-
dertook, for a considerable wager, to walk seven miles in one hour.
The almost seeming impossibility that• he would be able to steam-
plish so long a distance in so abort a time, made the odds run high
against him. Confident. however, in his capability to perform the
task, he took the odds to a considerable amount, and on Tuesday its
commenced the match at* the second mile-stone from Bolton, os
the Manchester road, walking seven miles (which had •previously
hem measured by an eminent surveyor) right a-bead, and completed
the distance one minute 25 seconds within the titne--the greater:
feat on 'record.—Some persons had caused a paragraph to be In-
serted in the Stafford Paper, that ICldullin, the pedestrian, had,
last week, performed the same distance in the saute time, And over
the same piece of ground; on making inquiry, however, from one
aE our friends who was at Buxton during the time of 'Captain Par-
ker's match, we find, that no one there knew of iltblutlin's per-
formance-I,P Mullin himself said that he did it its the night, and
that the time was kept by several different people. To set the mat-
ter at rest, Captain Parker offered to bet IP Mullin 500 guineas, or
any smaller sum, that hecould not walk it : neishai, /be nor his frielids,
' however would accept the wager, which we,ibinit is sufficient evi-
dence of his incompetence to perform so extraordinary a feat. 'fbe
following is the time each mile was walked in by Captain Parker :
