Tremendous Walking on Fashion Course-A
sad BIistake-How n Small Thing Killed
"Big WnIk''-'rhe Pedestrians Of the
Age.
Yesterday q young Englishman, George TopIey,
who has won many aurels as pedestran-at one
time walking seven and quarter miles within one
hour-attempted under the guidance OF Mr.. Wake
field, his trainer, the Fashion Course Long Island
to do what has never yet been accomplished by any
person-nameiy, walk 6fty miles in ten consecutive
hours.
AT frat blush the undertaking does not seem so
very formidable 10 him who can "handyr use his
feet and who Is not wanting in speed and nerve.
But when we ponder the matter OF half hundred
milesreduce them TO eighty eight thousand yards
two hundred and sixty-four thousand feet, and re-
member that all these yards and feet must be
passed over in six hundred minutes--it is time to
pause ana ask if IL is within human endurance to
carry one hundred and thirty pounds Of flesh and
bone and blood (Toplcy's weigho at the tremendous
pace OF one mile every twelve minutes for fifty times
twelve minutess And yet seemingly Impossible a.
this task appears, the pedestrian on the Fashion
Course would yesterday have succeeded rfdemon-
'rating its possibility had. In his case, discretion
proved the better part OF valor.
For task such as this young Topey taged twenty
three years, and five feet i've inches In height) had
promised TO successfully carry through, no more
propitous day could have been selected The morn
ing was reasonably clear, the breeze faint but brac-
ing; and, as II to mitigate the SUMS rays neecy,
gauze-like clouds noated lazily from the westward
towards the Atlantic. This the condition OF the
atmosphere and OF It's temperature from eight In the
morning until past noon.
The afternoon was not quite 40 agreeable to the
spectators, at no time exceeding two hundred, while
10 the man who was pushing onward with fair
heel and toe step his arms working as his body was
moved rapidly over the seemingly never-endlDg
miles, like piston rods in pair OF steam cyln-
ders In engines under full headw8y.
Looking across the course at Topey, MS pace
seemed unusually rapid that you could hardly per-.
suade yourself, although your eyes satisfied you of
the fact, that he not running. number OF per-
sons during the day attempted to walk by his sde
around the course, but soon they found II necessary
II they would keep up with him. TO increase tneir
speed, first TO a sort OF "dogrot," and finally into
good hearty run.
At nine O'Clock precisely in the presence OF eig't
gentlemen, Mr.. Chambers, proprietor OF me course;
Messrs. Macmillan and J. Wallace. the Judges oi ne
day: Mr.. NJ. McDcrnott, referee; Mf. Wakeheld, the
trainer aud three others friends or the partes.
TOpley stood upon the course win ma lace tO tue
westward and at the call OF time commenced his
wonderful journey. For the greater convenience OF
the reader we have accurately arranged our uota.

Y6mn-the fate OF Ireland and other great questions
70 remain In suspense In the meantime. The duty of
The liberals was clearly to follow up the votes on the
resolves on the Irish Church question by direct mo-
ton for suspension OF the standing orders so as to
enable the House to carry up an address to the
Crown thus making the way clear for the action of
new Parliament on this vital subject. The majority
must 60 on. lCheersJ They had no bargains TO
make. The Premier had said nothing would change
the course OF the ministry He Mr. Gladstone) would
therefore not urge the suspension of the orders
night Ministers would allow the earliest possible day
Tor the consideration OF the resolves. II they passed
the House bill should follow suspending all ap-
pontments IN the Irish Church until final legislation
was nad with respect to its future status. The next
Step thereafter would be for the ministry to take.
Mr. Robert Lowe said, after Ministers had nullifed
the VIII OF the House they had the audacity to ask
ior the control for months to come OF the govern
ment. Such q course was unconstitutional, and Ii
was absurd for an executive and a legislature. when
distrusting each other to maintain show OF har-
mony until next year.
Mr.. John Bright rose next. He said the Premier's
statement would amaze the country. The right hon.
orable gentleman asked the House to reverse the
usage OF the constitution in order that he might be
enabled to retain high office, obtained in the first
place by the exercise Of political not OF the most
worthy or audabe character, and subsequently held
by the apparent adoption of principles and dogmas
which he (Mr. DisraelD had himself at time bit
terly denounced. Mr.. Bright went on TO
point out the Inconsistencies OF the torres,
noted the variation Of opinions among
the members of the Cabinet, and said an adverse
vote was no disgrace to Ministry but to hold Office
after such vote was There was no reason why
the constitutional practice should be dispensed with
in favor OF Mr. Disrael, who knew well enough that
no Irish or Scotch reform BILL not OF nature to suit
the Irish and Scotch liberals could pass the House.
Reform the Irish Church and Ireland will be at peace
These things are possible for Ministry in accord
with the House, but not otherwise.
Mr. Disraeli said the liberals had right to pass a
vote Of want OF confidence and asked why they had
not done 80. He then fixed the 7th of May for the
debate on the Irish Church question.
The House, in committee, then took up the con-
sideraton of the budget and considered the resolu
ton to make the income tax six pence in the pound
sterling
In the House Of Lords statement was made by
the Ministry OF similar tenor to that delivered in
the Commons

Having IN two hours dlty-seven minutes aud tllir,
ty-eght seconds made twO-ffths of his Journey and
demonstrated his capabiiity OF passing ut unparal-
leed speed over the measured earth, his trainer at
twenty minutes and nineteen seconds past twelve
O'Clock Withdrew him lr9m the course for refresh
meat, rest and sponge bath. While undergoing the
process of spongng Iopey expressed himself as but
slightly in'igued. ana perfectly confident IN
his capability, physically speaking, to complete with
out great distress his task While eating little cold
chicken he asked for glass Of ale. To this MIR.
Wakefield nj first demurred, but subsequently, con-
sented (and In this exhibited extreme weakness or
purpose) that hs DT0f6g6 should he permitted haif
pint OF beer To the drinking OF this ale the subse-
quent misfortune of the pedestrian may be attrib-
uted. Having rested forty minutes 1opley started
on ms Journey apparently 1--WE say apparently WIN
renewed vigor, with the following result
The New York herald., 1868-05-05

Having two hours and fifteen minutes in which to
finish his journey, his trainer again withdrew and
sponged his ward, who certainly showed slight
signs of fatigue externally, but again complained OF
distress III the stomach and bowels. His face was
paiiid and his step, rapid as ever seemed less firm,
less certain. At eighteen minutes to five O'Clock he
was taken from the course and ut hve ana a half
minutes past Eve O'Clock renewed his journey, start
ing Off at unusually for him rapid speed.
His forty first mile was completed in nine minutes
and twelve seconds, his forty ysecOnd in ten minutes
and forty seconds.
On THIS his last mile, he started at his usual rate OF
walking, but he had not proceeded over 800 yards
when he was observed TO throw up his arms, siaggar
forward and fail to the earal. Assistance immediate
iy came to him, aud on examination IL was ascer-
tanned that he had tainted. ReSt0ratiyes were ap-
Piled his hands, legs and feet, which were ice cold
rubbed but in vain. After time he was taken up
by Il number Of men aud carried TO an apartment in
Mr.. Chambers house, where in the course of ten
minutes he revived sufficiently TO recognize those
who were standing near him.
II was now too late TO resume hia going, even II
endowed with the requisite strength and thus one OF
the greftest pedestrian attempts OF the time
came to miserable conclusion. That glass Of
small beer cost poor TOpiey $500 and the glory OF
doing what man is yet positively known TO have
done-namelt, walk fifty miles in ten consecutive
hours.
The following are a few of Toplcy's best previous
perfOrmances:-
He walked, on the 26h Of December, 1865 twenty
one miles In hours, 5S minutes and "a seconds.
In q race with Teddy Miles, on the 18th OF March,
1866 lie walked thirteen miles and u half In hour,
As minutes and seconds.
On the 30th OF July, 1866, he walked eight miles in
so minutes and 80 seconds.
