Edwards, the Californian pedestrian, who had announced that he would walk seven miles within an hour at the North Dunedin Recreation Ground on Saturday, essayed the feat but was unsuccessful, as he exceeded the hour by 2min. 50sec. Edwards con siders he would have walked the distance in oS^min. had it not been for the bad state of the course and the smallness of the ring. The quickest laps were the Ist and 25th, each of which was done in 57sec, and the longest was the 60th lap, which took 7Gsec. The last lap, the 62nd one, was done in 63sec. The second deposit on ac count of the stakes in the match between Macgregor and Edwards has been paid, raising the sum in the stakeholder's hands from £5 to £10 a side.
