The Pedestrian's Record

vi PREFACE. The records and Sheffield handicaps have been compiled from that valuable little book, " The Sporting Life Companion," and the championships have been collected from Ireland and America, and especially from the files of the Field; to those con­ nected with this paper who have helped us, we tender our best thanks for their courtesy and assistance. It is trusted the Pedestrian's Record will be of some use to athletes. No doubt inaccuracies will be met with, and when they are discovered we shall be pleased to be informed of our faults, which can be corrected in a second issue, should our readers deem the book worthy of such support. The records and championships have been revised and corrected to June 30. JAMES IRVINE LUPTON. JAMES MONEY KYRLE LUPTON. Richmond, Surrey. 1889.
