GREAT MATCH AGAINST TIME.

The attendance to witness ti,e contest to gallop twenty
miles in an hour, at Sudbury Common, on Saturday, was not
5.) great as might have been anticipated, but was composed of
high sporting men from different parts of the country. Mr.
Whitfield, the proprietor of the ware, had taken up his quar-
ters on Thursday night at the Red Lioa, at lismpton, and
thither these who were desirous of laying out their money re-
pt.! ed. Betting in the first instance had been 2 and 3to 1
on time, but as the proprietor of the animal took the odds to
sonic extent, and as Mr. Boswell, the backer of time, did not
lay out to any grezt extent, they gradually diminished. At
twelve, on Saturday, the umpin.s, Messrs. Hayward and
Pardy, stopped the watches, and a few minutes afterwards a
gentleman, weighing about nine-and-a-half stone, named
Beaumont, mounted. The start took place at the mile-stone
in the lane, and the extent of distance out was five miles to
St d.nes, whore the mare was turned. She performed the first
tea miles in thirty minutes and twenty-seven seconds, and at
this part appeared to be distressed, and started off at only a
mi idling speed. Three to one on the mare was going begging
at this time on the accomplishment ; but when the fifty-tight
minutes had gone, and she was not within sight or hearing,
the money was being laid out thickly and at even. At fifty-
nine minutes and fifty-oix seconds the animal passed the stone,
wirring by nine srcmds. fl r speed at corning in was most
extraordinary. She h d been put upon her mettle by her
owner having clanged horses and riding by her side. She is
a b sy, no:Irly three parts bred, and stands 15 hands 1 inch
high. The specific amount of the stakes is not known.
