SPORTING EVIRAORDINART.

• PEDESTRIANISM.
Mr. W. West, the pedestrian, had another failure yesterday.
His task was to go on foot from London to the Stith mile-stone,
close upon Uphaven, in the Weyhill-road to Bath, and return in
47 hours. The match was for two hundred sovereigns.

BONING.
An unusual degree of anxiety had been excited throughout the
neighbourhood of West Hans by the battle between Fairchild
and Todd ; both men are well known in that part of &sex, and
Todd has frequently proved himself a good giver and taker hs
the neighbourhood of Spitalfields. They are men of herculean
size and strength, weighing nearly 15 stone each. The battle
was fought in a field at West Ham, on Thursday last. Fairchild
catered the ring, followed by. Charley the Tripper, as his second;
and soon after Todd followed, with J. Gentle as his attendant:
After the usual ceremonies, the following rounds took place:
Round 1. On stripping we never saw men in liner condition;
they in fact put us in mind of Cribb and GI egson at Moulsey
Hurst. Fairchild appeared to be the heaviest nian. Fairchild
bit short twice, when Todd gave him a tap 6n the nob, when a
dote took place, and both down.
2,3, 4, 5. It was bellows to mend with Fairchild, and Todd
was none the better, after the heavy falls he had received.
6,7, 8,9, 10,11. Todd was so distressed that on setting-to
he caught hold of Fairchild's hands, when both went down in a
struggle.
12, 13, 14, 15,16. Fairchild came laughing up to the scratch,
giving the wink to his friends it was all right, when he hit Todd
on the domino box. Both down.
17 to 20. These were pully-bauly rounds. (Disapprobation.)
21. TAls was a most extraordinary round. Both men came
ready to the scratch, when Fairchild made a blow with his left
hand and actually cut a piece out of his left listener.• Both down.
Great applause.
• 22, 23, 24. Todd, game to the last, came to the scratch, al-
though without a shadow of chance, and both fell without a blow.
25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37. Todd's face
appeared now like a blackberry pudding; and during those thir-
teen rounds he was thrown some very heavy falls. Five sove-
reigns to four he would not stand five minutes longer; but became
manfully to the scratch next round.
38 up to 69. Nothing else but getting up and falling down.—
Odds were offered Todd would not come again.
70. Fairchild came fresh to tha scratch ; and on time being
called, Todd was not able to rise from his second's knee, being
what may be called dead beat.
