EXTRAORDINARY MATCH AGAINST TIME.
—An event which has for some weeks past excited consi-
derable attention amongst the horse-dealing and sporting
fraternity of this town, came off yesterday to the great loss
of certain parties. A Mr. Ilaamr, a horse-dealer of
the town, has an aged chesnut mare, fourteen hands and an
inch high, which, to an inexperienced eye, would seem to
be unable to go at a much faster rate than an amble; but,
at a public-house, where the conversation turned upon the
merits of various horses belonging to the parties then pre-
sent, the owner of the mare above-mentioned offered to bet •
100 sovereigns that she would go over a distance of one •
hundred miles in twelve successive hours, in harness.— •
This bet was accepted by a hay and straw dealer, named
SMITH, and the ground fixed upon was a distance' of
twelve miles and a half, commencing at the Bear's Paw,
in High Legh, and ending a little on the side of Hohne
Chapel, near Knutsford, The betting had been running
about even, previous to the race; but yesterday the mate
became so great a favourite, that very few bets were made
against her on any terms. The owner (a man weighing
nine score fifteen pounds) drove her in a gig weighing '
under three cwt. The mare started off precisely at five
o'clock in the morning, and came .to the winning-post 24‘
minutes within time, amidst the acclamations of multi-
tudes of spectators, mostly from this town. The snare
was not at all distressed, but was apparently is condition
to run the same distance over again, immediately. We
have heard it stated, indeed, that aie had, on a former
t.,,-casion, drawn her owner and another iierson in a gig
120 miles in sixteen hours, which, if true, was a much
more extraordinary performance than the one which came
•
off yesterday...-Manchester Guardian of Saturday.

MAIL ACCIDENT.--On Sunday morning,
the mail from Manchester to London was overturned at

Rushford, near Leek. The reins having broke, the hoi sea
ran the coach against the bank, by which it was thrown
over with great violence. Fortunately no one was ma-
terially injured. After the delay of only a few minutes
the coach was righted, and immediately proceeded no its
journey. —Manchester Guardian.
