LONDON, April 23.-Parole at EPSON,
to-day, won the great Metropolitan
stakes. Castle Reagh was the only other
entry that faced the starter. In conse-
quence of the victory of Parole yester-
day, he carried to-day ten pounds extra.
Just previous to the race yesterday,
Elf King was very much fancied, and
the dislike to Parole was so general that
he declared four to one against him,
but winning so handsomely, he became
a strong favorite at six to four for the
great Metropolitan stakes. Lorillard
had backed his horse for the city and
suburban handicap, prior TO his New
Market victory, and as the result won
something over 100000. The general
satisfaction expressed at the victory OF
the plucky American yesterday was
fully proved by the volleying rounds Of
cheers which accompanied Paroles re-
turn to the inClOsure. Parole, il is con-
ceded, won on his merits without get
ting anything approaching an advantage
at the start or the turns In the course.
1t had been freely rumOred at EPSON
this morning that Parole would not run
to-day. Castle Reagh carried llOpounds
and Parole I'D pounds.
Castle Reagh took the lead and drew
away three or four lengths, when he
tried to bait, but was soon righted, and
led till entering the straight Here Pa
role drew up and came out in the last
100 yards and won in a canter. Time,
minutes, 43 seconds.

The Walking Match.
LONDON, April 23.-At 3 p. NJ. to-day,
the scores OF the six days pedestrian
contest, a. the Agricultural Hall, were:
Brown 274! miles; Hazall 269; Corkey
26l Weston 229l.
LONDON, April -, 1880 p. M.-The
score stands, Browne, 306!; Hazael,
295: Corkey, 2S7!; Weston, 26Gt. This
is the third day, and is regarded as a
crucial test OF the staying powers OF the
men. The accomplishment OF 800 miles
within three days is unprecedented.
There is great interest in the struggle
between Brown and Hazael. The latter
has reduced Browns lead by three
miles since o'clock. 1t is generally
thought that he will try to keep within
few miles of Brown and wipe
off the arrears by running on
the last day, Dut his staunchness
is doubted, as he forfeited the lead on
Tuesday by the prolonged rest taken,
despite the remOnstrances of his trainer.
Weston is walking gamely, but appears
to be suffering internally.
LONDON, April 24-3 A. M.-Brown
and Hazael have been resting since the
last report. A great race is expected
between them to-day. The betting is
three TO one on Brown. Corkey :
store now stands, 29il; Weston's, 276.
