The old magazines arc full Of gossiping para
graphs relating to achievements performed to de-
eide wager. Walking feass are among tho
most numerous OF these; geuera1ly an uuder-
taking to cover certain number of miles in =
certain time. In 1772, Foster Powell achieved
work which was much admired at the time-
that Of walking from London to York and back
in six days. Those who know the road may
feel AT interest in .saciaE him on Ills jour
ney- He walked from London to Stamford,

miles, on the second; to York, 81 miles, aud q
mllcs back to Ferrybtidge, on tho third to

miles on the si1th--1nakiDg total OF 394 miles
between Monday morning aud Saturday night,
and winning wager Of a hundred gnineas.
The reign Of George III. was plentifully strewn
with such examples. 4 few yoars after Po"ell's
