An original match

The British exhibition at Wembley gave rise to the most unexpected exhibitions. Thus, on the Crystal Palace football field, a professional walker, Mr. Hart, and a horse ridden by jockey Nightingall began an unusual fight. The question was who, man or beast, would cover the greatest distance in six days. The man was the winner, covering 545 kilometers, while his "adversary" stopped at 533.
