EXTRAORDINARY RACE

A curious match took place on Lewisham road on Thursday,
between Hamilton, the runner, and a mare belonging to 111 r.
Poosey, of Bromley. It was fir 50 sovereigns a side. Mr.
Poosey undertook to ride a galloway, and to carry 14 stone
against Hamilton two miles, and to give him five minutes, both
starting together. Hamilton performed the first mile within
five minutes, and the second in five and a half. The horse ac-
complished the two miles in 17 second over 5 minutes, winning
with much time to spare. The pedestrian finding himself beat,
gave in when within a quarter of a mile from home.
