WANSFORD STEEPLE CHASE.—This sporting event
took place on Tuesday last, the starting field and win-
ning post being in Cliffe Park. The first race was for a
sweepstakes of 5 sovs. each, with 25/. added: eight
were entered, butlr. A onlyßird'shorses.
Goodmanfour started,
rider) viz.,I
Gordon's Repealer (owner) 2, Mr. Whincup's Sol. King
3, and Mr. Sartoris' Dick
Turpin (Mr. Townley) 4. They
all got off well, and ran nearly together to the first ditch
and rails, where Sol. King fell and threw his rider: the
jockey, however, held the reins, and quickly remounted. On
their return, at a brook crossing the Apthorp and Cliffs
roads, three out of the four got into the water, the lucky
one being So]. King, which cleared it in beautiful style.
Mr. Townley and his horse were in the brook together,
and it was at first thought that Dick Turpin's back was
broken: fortunately this was not the case, as horse and
rider appeared at the winning post in about a quarter of
an hour after the others. Mr. Goodman won the race
by two or three lengths. There was a second race for a
sweepstakes of 2 sovs. each, with a purse added, which
was won easily by Mr. Goodman's Pretty Poll (ridden
by the owner), beating two others. The event was after-
wards celebrated by a select dinner party at the Haycock
Inn.—Stanford Mercury.
THE MURDERER. OF Mits. HEtenrcksoN.--There is
every reason to believe that this man's name is not John
Gleeson Wilson, but Owen Morris. A. person of the
name of John Sharps has deposed that he wrote a letter
to the prisoner's father, some time since, at the prisoner's
request, in which the latter spoke of himself as Owen
Morris. The letter to the father was addressed to
" John Morris, blacksmith, Dreol, to the care of the
Rev. Father Ryan, P.P., Rathkeal, Limerick." The
prisoner speaks Irish with great fluency, which is what
not an Englishman in a million can do.—Liverpool Times.
11.1ARYLEBONE INSTITUTION.—Mrs. Stephen Cham-
bers last evening gave the third of a series of
agreeable concerts at this excellent institution. The
list of performers contained the names of the follow-
ing artists:—Miss Messent, Miss Anne Romer, Miss
Anne Taylor, Miss Stevens, Miss Chandler, and
Mrs. Stephen Chambers, Mr. Handel Gear, Mr.
Lawler, Mr. Dusell, Mr. Eames, and Mr. Frank
Pod ;:a. I. wou:d he tinfpir to perticularizo where all
was 4. xeelleat. The appi4u.e was entiLia..tic and
the encores frequent and well deserved. The conce rt,
which was conducted by Herr Muhlenfeldt And Mr. H.
Gear, was well attended.
