competed. They started well at the word "of," P. Brown Ukasg
the laid from the commencement. closely followed by W. J.
Smith and C. Polley, C. 0. Cole being last. Brown kept increas-
ing his lead, and half-way was at lewd a doses yards ahead, Pol-
ley and Smith making a beautiful race of it. The pace then
began to tell on the leading man, and the next two gained rapidly
on elm, Polley having a shade the beet of it. It was anybody's
race lathe lest three yards, the judge, Thomas Morris, the cap-
tain and secretary, giving it at the finish—Polley l? Smith S,

out, and the race was one of the bort that has taken place on the
Serpentine this year.

FATAL AOCIDENT TO A CRlCRETER.—Feabec-
day, a young man named Thomas Bridges Gillow, 18
years of age, respectably connected, of Green-street,
near Faversham, was batting against the Borden Club,
at Borden, a village near Sittingbonrne, when he was
killed by the ball hitting him hard under the left ear. It
that about half-past one the Green-street Club
alig="ne in, and Gillow had made a very fine cut at the
ball, when the bowler threw again, and the ball bounded
from the ground. Mr. Gillow turned on one side
to escape the effect of the rebound, when the
ball struck on the jugular vein, and killed him at once.
He was seen to fall, and the game was stopped. Infor-
mation being immediately sent to Sittingbourne, medical
assistance was obtained, but unhappily the young man
was found to be quite dead. Mr. Gillow was a nephew of
Captain Gillow, of the firm of Gillow and Wareham, the
extensive brewers at Sandwich. He was a player of con-
siderable promise, and his death has cast a gloom over
the cricketting circles in the neighbourhood.
THE CAME OF POISONING A RACE 410RsE.—
The case of poisoning a race horse came before the
Recorder of Barnstaple, at the Quarter Sessions of the
borough,'on Saturday. The prisoner, George Woollacott,
groom? was indicted for feloniously and maliciously
administering poison to a mare called Little Sally, the pro-
perty of Mr. Smallndge, of Littlehampton. The circum-
stances of the came have already appeared. It was shown
that immediately before the Barnstaple races the prisoner
bad access to the horse in a stable, and that he was there
seen tampering with the animal. He was going to contest
with the animal for the Yeomanry Cup, and his bargain
with hie employer, Mr. Hooper, was that he should receive
half the profit. Immediately after the prisoner left the
mare she grew very sick, and vomited, dying in great
agony on the morning of the race day. Mr. Raleigh.
vetennary surgeon, made a post-inerteet examination, and
traced mineral poison in the stomach ; which was also
examined by Mr. Herapath. analytical chemist, of Bristol,
who discovered spirit of salts, the same poison as that
contained in three bottles found in the house of the pri-
soner on his apprehension. After the hearing of the
evidence, which occupied several hours,tie learned
Recorder summed up, and the jury, having deliberated
half an hour, brought in a verdict of guilty. Mr. C. H.
Williams, in whose service the prisoner bad been, gave
him an excellent character. The Recorder said the act was
cowardly and dastardly, and sentenced the prisoner to live
years' penal servitude.
