COLONIAL,

TEA.—Since the conclusion of the public sales there has
been very little business reported, and prices have under-
gone no change.

SUGAR.—The market has remained dull ; prices, how-
ever, are steadily maintained for superior descriptions of
West India. In the refined market quotations are also
fairly maintained.

COFFEE.—There has been a moderate enquiry for colonial

instances, lower rates have been accepted by holders.

hibit less firmness, P.Y.C. on the spot being marked 425.,

W3.IIGHTS for the SP SING HANDICAPS,

We are in a position to state that the weights for
the Chester Cup, the City - and Suburban and
Metropolitan, the Northa,mpton,shire and St. Liz
Stakes, and the Newmarket IL indicap, as well as the
Bath and Somersetshire Stab :es, will not be pub-
lished before early next week- 'The delay of their
publication is caused, we are informed, by the great
dissimilarity of the weights apportioned to the
horses engaged in the Chester Cup to those handi-
capped by Admiral Rous. According to the regula-
tions which have been in force for the last two
years the horses handicapped by Mr. Topham are
Admiral Rous for his approval previ-
oussubnlitottildbtlio cation.

[era' Race between Tom King and
Percy.

The following appeared in our Late Edition of last
evening-

The match between Tom King, the pugilistic ex-
champion, and James Percy, the celebrated pedes-
trian of Newcastle-on-Tyne, which has created an
extraordinary amount of 4,:NTest, was brought to
an issue this afternoon, and resulted in one of the
finest races ever recorded. The course, as usual,
was from Putney to Morthi e, and the prize con-
tended for was £lOO.
The usual preliminariesl4 ving been adjusted, the
toss took place for choice (I. stations, and fortune
favouring Percy, he took file inside station, and
exactly at 37 min. 10 sec. p .;t one, the men started,
amidst the cheers of thei.; numerous supporters.
Percy made a most determi o ed commencement, and
in a few seconds he began to show in advance of
his opponent, who, howC3r, seemed fully bent
upon disputing most despc Lately every inch of the
course. Off Symonds's, 'Percy was fully three
boats' length ahead of Kin[ and in this positionthey
rowed for nearly 150 yard but the ex-champion at
this point seemed to settle; down to his work, and
eventually caught his con etitor, and before they
had reached Craven Cotta c, King was three lengths
iii
[
ahead of Percy. Not cox ent with this advantage,
King continued to exert imself, and having put
on a spurt about this point he succeeded in increas-:
' ing the space between hi. self and Percy to five
lengths in advance. Here ie betting took a com-
plete turn ; at starting it IA s 5 and in some in-
stances 6 to 4 on Percy, but 'ow it became 10 to 1
on King. King here appear '..1 to be confident of
success, for he relaxed his rowing in a very
great degree, imagining that he had his
man quite safe, and in crossir 1. the Crabb Tree he
still maintained his position; Percy, however,
seemed determined to do his best to regain
the pride of place, and taking advantage of King's
apparent over-confidence, he n itde the utmost effort
to overhaul him, and sue, ;eded so far that
at Hammersmith-bridge he b 1 decreased

went under together. At this
t 'le, the men having
rowed about 300 or 400
yards, as we have said,
skull and skull, a great many be, were offered awl
taken that Percy had at one time yen a foot ahead
of King ; but how these bets are for be decided re-
mains to be seen, as the men appeal\ -1 to us to be
as nearly level as possible. 1
After passing the bridge King CA'77 himself
gradually away from his gallant compeO: 9r, and in
the end came in a winner by about two k' gths, the
distance having been done in 24 min. 50 st .
From first to last the race was one of th finest
that has been witnessed for many years ; a 41 had
the men been professional scullers, nothing 7 otter
certainly could have been done.
Drewitt piloted King, and Cooper did the same
for Percy.
The weather was as bad as the match was good.

standing was cold, dull, and dreary ; the therm
