Sa Walk a Mile, Run a Mile, Ride a Mile, in Seventeen Minutes, From the London 4 ield. On Friday, the 11th instant, a match was de- cided on the Fordham road at Newmarket which {s Ukely to live long in the annais of sport, and de- serves to go down to posterity along with someof. the more celebrated feats of ’Squire Osbaldeston and Capt. Barclay. The hero of the day was Mr. C. W. L. Bulpett, late of Rugby school and Trinity college, Oxford. Mr. Bulpett, in his youth, was a celebrated athlete. His time for the Crick run at Rugby long remained the best on record, and he won the three-inile race at Oxford tn an’ excep- Uonally good year; but he 1s now weil on in his Uhirty-fifta year, though always of active habits, bas altogether dropped running since he left Oxford. The match in question arose out of a discussion a couple of months ago as to how far powers of speed and endurance were impaired by advancing years, and Mr. Bulpett undertook to walk atnile, to run a mile, and to ride a mile un- der eighteen minutes. Subsequently a bet of 3 to 1 Was accepted that the task would not be accom- plished in less than seventeen minutes. The events might be attempted in any order. Shortly after going into active training a hitch occurred, Which at one time seemed likely to shij wreck all prospects of Mr. Bulpett’s success. In his first run an old strain 1n the muscles of his leit ieg made itself felt, and he pulled up dead lame. ‘Throughout bis subsequent preparation he had to confine himself to walking exercise, and itis the Tact that he never tried to run again until tue day of the match, After much deliberation the first mile of the Fordham road on teaving Newmarket Was chosen for the attempt, the road at that point being almost perfectiy level, and. there belng’ grass track by the side favorable for riding. ‘The last difficulty was the horse. It was impo-sible to get a valuable animal for a rough-and-tumbie Job by the side of the read, so it was decided to use a suart brown hack mare belonging to Mr. Sarehe Or Newmarket, on wich one oF two fast Spits had been done in practice, “Mr. W. Gardner, of Exning, most generously Offered the loan of a y fast galloper of his Own, Dut it was thought better to use ap aniinal which Mr. Buipett had ridden be- fore. Arrangements were made to start at 2¥ in the afternoon of the 11th inst., Mr. Bulpe ting E tte first to walk from the end furthest trom Newmar ket, then to run back, and thus to have the advai tegt of riding towards his horse’s stable, As might have been expected, though no public notice had beengiven of the event, sportloving Newmarket turned outen masse vo witness 80 genuine and sportsmanlike a match. ‘The whole of the mile Was tironged with walking people, while traps and horsemen were studded along. tle roud at tre- quent intervals. On the whole there cannot have been less than 3,000 persons present. Shortly after Une Ume appointed Mr. Bulpett appeared, heavily bandaged on his left leg, and set out on his afduous task, accompaned by his tralner in @ trap, and ‘followed by a cheer- ing and ‘encouraging crowd. It must be'added that the crowd, though throughout most excited and enthuslastie, never once. Intertered either with the pedestrian or With tise Who had legitimate duties to perform. Mr. Buipett started Walking at a good rate and ‘in scrupulously. tair style, “He accomplished the first quarter in. 1 Ininute 57 seconds and, keeping up steam to the end, completed his walking tnile in the good time ofS minutes and 25 seconds. He tintuediately started torun at a moderate pace, amid the deep anxiety of all those who knew of his infiria con. ition. | Gomg along very gingerly, he completed the haif mile in tue Comparatlvely Slow time of 3 Ininutes 1 second. ‘Here his trainer called upon him to quicken, but the moment that he tried” to do So heevidently felt the weak spot in his leg, and. had to slow down agiin, finishing the mile, with. out the semblance of d spurt, in 6 minutes 6 ‘seconds. Here the match, so far as the elghteen minutes Was concerned, Was as good as won, but the per former was pretty well pumped, and it was evi. dent that It would be a close fit for the seventeen minutes, However, George Jeffrey, a brotier of te well-known jockey, who had throughout taken a greatinterest in Mr. Bulpett’s sti Was there to swing him into tne saddle, und, though it was noticed by a rather critical audience, 1t must be said that he was a Uttle slow in getting under way; suill, there Was not much delay in dispatching him on his final journey. ‘The Uttle mare got quickly into her stride and went at her top speed to the hait distance, ere she ap- eared to steady a bit, when Mr. Gardner jumped in on a very fist nag and gave her a lead home, the ridden tiie beiig completed in 2 Ininutes 26; seconds, the seventeen minutes thus being beaten by 25¢ seconds, which, it 4s sald, might have been slightly improved upon, Dut that tie wrong Ume was shouted out (nou by the trainer, it should be uotlced) When the first half mile had been ridden. ‘The ride seemed to have done Mr. Bulpett good, for he dismounted as fresh as & daisy, und, putting on some overalis, started at once td walk buck to his hotel, His suc ess created @ remarkable amount of enthusiasm, for te Newmarket. folk—who love a good mat, only a degree less than they love a good. horse— followed him in a dense crowd, loudly cheering, they slowly Separated, but the feat performed will live to fur Disk thei With the subject of many a conversa Uon Ln dead seasons yet to come, as it will in every. home and gathering where pluck and endurance are still admired and recognized as virtues, geo ‘The Appetite of Birds, From the Popular Science Monthly.
