King's College School Athletic Sports: finish of the two-mile walking-match, 1870. 'The fifth annual celebration of the King's College School athletic sports took place, last Saturday, at Lillie Bridge. F. E. M. Humber covered 17 ft. 7½ in., and won the first prize for the long jump; J. Wyatt, the secretary, taking the second. E. B. White, in the high jump, got up to 4 ft. 11 in., and won; and B. Dale (under sixteen) to 4 ft. 10 in., also securing a prize. S. Bailey and E. B. White were likewise the victors in a 150- yards hurdle-race of ten flights. The most exciting affair of the whole was the two-mile walking-race; it was, from start to finish, a match between T. W. Lewis and A. C. Hartley. Throughout the race, timed at 18 min. 30 sec., Hartley was close upon the heels of his rival, and in the final struggle both breasted it together'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
