GREAT TROTTING MATCH.

A match, which for some time past has excited considerable
interest in the spotting world, came off yesterday on Sunbury
Common. The terms required that a chesnut mare, eight
years old, belonging to a Mr. Dixon of Knightsbridge, should
trot 100 miles in harness within ten hours or ten hours and a
half, 2001. to 1001. being started against her doing it in the
first mentioned time, and 100/. even against the latter. The
start took place at 20 minutes before 6 in the morning, and the
whole distance was done with the most perfect ease 3 minutes
and 57 seconds within the 10 hours, including a stoppage of
two or three minutes at the end of every 20 miles. She was
driven by a Mr. Stacey, the same party who trained and drove
her when she did a similar match some months back. She was
got by a celebrated trotting stallion, now belonging to Mr.
Harry England, called Flander's Fireaway, purchased of the
late Mr. Gould, of Swaffham, and bred by Mr. Flanders in
the Isle of Ely, out of a thorough-bred mare ; she is about
15 hands high, and is remarkably neat and level in her shape.
The ease with which she stole over the ground, without ap-
pearing to go any pace, was generally admired. From the
style in which she finished there can be no doubt that she could
have done 20 miles more without difficulty.

MONTREAL, MAncu 18.—Wednesday an extraordinary feat in
travelling was performed by Mr. T. B. English. That day
morning he left Cornwall, accompanied by his daughter and a
gentleman, at half-past eight, breakfasted at Lancaster, dined
at Goteau-du-Lac, refreshed his horse ut the intermediate
stages, and arrived in this city at half-past six, accomplishing
a distance of 90 miles in ten hours. The horse is well-known
as the celebrated Rob Roy.

NE IVP 0 R T-PA G NEL STEEPLE CHASE.
This match, for lOogs., between Mr. Chace's ch. horse,
ridden by Captain Beecher, and Mr. Harris's gray, ridden by
an innkeeper at Wotton, came off on Monday, near Newport-
Pagnel, at two. The ground was most judiciously chosen,
nearly the whole line being over grass land, with several tole-
rably stiffleaps. The start was in a field near Moulsa Church,
a short distance from the London-road from Newport, taking
a line by the farm at the summit of the hill, and down from
thence to and across Crawley-lane, over the brook, round a
flag in a field adjoining, and back again over the same ground,
making a distance of about four miles. The hill in the middle
of the line afforded an excellent spot for spectators, a consi-
derable number of whom had there assembled, as well as upon
every other elevated spot which commanded a view of the
flags, the unusual fineness of the day increasing the attraction
to witness the sport. A few minutes after two the signal was
given for starting. Both horses cleared the first fence well
together—the grey a little a-head, the chesnut lying close to
him. At the second fence (a hedge and ditch) the grey horse
fell, giving his rider a somerset, and slightly injuring his left
arm. He was, nevertheless, up again and off; and as the
chesnut took little advantage of the accident, the grey was
soon in his place again, and made the running from the top of
the bill, taking three or four fences only a few yards a-head of
the chesnut in very cool order, till they arrived at the formi-
dable
bank, with a bush hedge at the top, and a ditch on each
side, which separated the field from Crawley-lane, and into
which, from the top of the hank, was an awkward and steep
descent. On reaching this leap both horses, like the troop in
" Mazeppa,"
" Approached—retired—wheerd round and round,"
when after a short reconnoitre the grey made a dash at, and
reached the top of the bank, where, pausing and trembling for
a moment, he made a beautiful and SE fe leap from thence into
the lane, followed by Captain Beecher, who at this point made
rather quicker work of it. Arrived in the lane, the brook pre-
sented itself; and although riot very wide in some places, the
rules prevented much ground being taken for choice. The
grey horse charged it, first getting clear over, and was quickly
waited upon by the chesnut into the lane, at the further end of
which stood the flag ; and after going round this flag the
ground was to be returned over. The grey kept the lead to
the flag and back again to the brook, which he at first refused,
the chesnut taking it in his line—both, however, were in the
lane together; and charged the bank at the same moment,
ping
first on to it, and then into the field.. The grey
ag 'n took the lead, and though closely pressed by Captain
Bee er, maintained his part throughout both in ascending
and descending the bill. Through- the last three fields both
horses worked hard; but notwithstanding the "consummate
jockeysitip" of Captain Beecher, the chesnut could neither
pass nor reach the grey, whose speed and bottom carried him
through triumphantly, winning with apparent case by about
two lengths.

EXTRAORDINARY LEAP.—A few days ago, a two-year old
filly, got by Androgeus, late the property of Mr. Watson, of
Shipton, Yorkshii e, performed a great leap on. the grounds in
the occupation of Mr. Burrell, of Thorpe Woods, over a (Etch
28 feet wide.
