PEDESTRIANISM.

Hancock gave "up at 100 miles when seven miles behind ; he was not in good health, suffering from boils, and walking in evident distress all the afternoon. He went off with a lead of a few laps, but in six hours Scott- passed him, Hancock kept up well for 12 hours, when they had done about 58 miles, with Hancock threequarters of a mile behind, but he fell off afterwards. Scott equalled Ms best previous record^ and was in noway pushed or distressed. „
