in a return one upon the head, but not heavy.

Foot RAM—Yesterday morning, Harris. a runner of
some celebrity, undertook to run a mile in five minutes. in
St. James's Park. for a wager of five Sovereigns. Thu
ground was measured, and he made a fair start, but when
about half way was stopped by a soldier, who supposed he
had committed a robbery. mistaLingthe cheers of his friciw4
fora bue and cry. The wager is in consequence off, but it
is the Intention of Harris to perform the feat if possible.

SINGVLAR RACT:.—A match of rather a novel nature was
lately made beta ist two Gentlemen of this city, which was.
decided on Saturday, on the Edinburgh nod Glasgow road,
near Westeraigs. A young woman from the neighbourhood
of Queensferry was to run 13 miles against any Lanarkshire
man. A lad turned out, in honour of the county, from Dal-
serf. For the first eight miles the lady took the lead, and
finished them within the hoar. but at this point, her oppo-
nent, who had hitherto courteously kept in the rear, shot
past. Upon this she made a great effort, and resumed her
position in front, but being again passed, the poor woman
fell down In such distress that the Gentleman who backed
her lost all sight of his bet in the apprehension he had for
her life. The lad continued at an unnecessarily quick pace,
and completed the fifteen miles in seven minutes within the
two hours, having run tile last mile in five minutes. Ile had
previously declared that if he was beat by a woman, he
would never agaiu resisit his paternal inansimt.—(Gilasgom
