PEDESTRLINTSV.
About a week back a ruing man int:lted Lloyd, residing at
Clerkenwell, happening to hear some per oar taking of the surpris-
ing feats of Captain !lirelay, Moore, FAlwar. s. West, and uth:r
celebrated roadsters, undertni.k to walk fnrty miles in ten huttrs
backwards! The idea was ridiculed as an impossibility; livwever,
on Saturday last two Gentlemen came forward, in ordi r to encou-
rage the young man, and staked thirty sovereigns aside, toe ped4 s-
trian to receive ball the stakes in the event of his accomplishing tha
task allotted hint, which was only 7/... miles in eight hour., being
eight miles under his original challenge. At twelve of cluck yester-
day he suited from the Ito:hester Hurt, on Stroud Uri 'ge.Chath
two friends marshalled the way, and the young Mill finally arri%ed
at Clerkenwell-green, the point of his destination, within five
minutes of eight o'clock.
