WALKING A THOUSAND MILES FOR 50l. - Miss Richards, who is called the champion walker, has just concluded at Stapleton, near Bristol, the extraordinary feat of walking one thousand miles in one thousand consecutive hours. She is a young girl, and finished quite fresh.
An endeavour was made, when she began her task on May 18, to obtain magisterial interference, but this was unsuccessful, on the ground that she was a free agent, although she undertook the task in order that her father might win a wager of 50l.
