FOO7. Itaec—Oo Monday se'onigle, between o se and
two ss'eloelc, a foot race which recited groat interest
was decided on the Coors* in the Siddals. The contest
was for Idly guineas. and the parties were Heeler-famed
runner Shaw, of Staffordshire, rod a young man of the
name of Winding, an apprentice at the china manufac-
tory in this town. Many hundred persons were collected
to see the sport, and the day being fine, people came
from a great distance to witness the triumph of Shaw
(as was expected), who is esteemed the first runner in
England. Tbe stand was filled with spectators, and the
expectation of a good race was highly raised, though
the odds were six and seven to fon' tWfavear of Shaw.
The distance was one hundred and twenty yards, and
contrary to the anticipations of all the knowing ones.
the race was won by Wending who beat his antagonist
by the length of five yards. The time occepled is roa-
sting was twelve seconds and a half, being after the rate
of Dearly twenty miles and a MN in 'an beer. It is
worth narrating, that the successful rennet was at Ills
work till one o clock, and returned to his employment
as soon as the race was over. We understand the same
persons are matched to run again on the 16th of March
nest, JOU yards on the London road, for 200 guineaa.a—
