ADELPHI THEATRE.

This theatre last night. came in for its share of the
rays of Royal influence„ the old piece of Sweethearts
and Wives being played to a delighted audience, as
performed recently at the Palace. Of so well-known
a piece—one at which our fathers' sides were wont to
ache when it was the vehicle for the drolleries of Lis-
ton—we need say no more, than that its more modern
rivals have not dried up the fountain of humour from
which it was derived, nor removed it from the pale of
fashion. Mr. Wright, in his performance of Billy
Lackaday, proved that he is, or perhaps more criti-
cally speaking, that he may become the legitimate
successor of one who was wont to set boxes, pit, and
gallery in a roar. The house was crowded.

TROTTING.

Yesterday was the day appointed for the trial of pace
between Mr. W. Lamb's brown mare and Mr. Owen
Swift's ditto, two miles, in harness, for 501. a-side. We
were not surprised, knowing the sporting prestige at-
tached to at least one of the contracting parties, to see a
thronged attendance of " familiar faces." The betting,
which ranged from 6 to 4 to 2 to 1, on Mr. Lamb's
animal, augured a " square" match, as there could be
no second opinion as to the intention of mine host of
the " Horseshoe," to win if he could. At half-past
three the prads went up to the starting point, the
twelfth milestone on the Staines road, the trot being
thence towards Hounslow. Mr. L.'s mare, an aged
animal, said to be fast verging on the last of her teens,
was fully a hand higher than the quadruped on which the
investncent of the erewhile " wonder" of the light weights
was risked. The start was all in favour of Swift's
animal, who was steered by Mr. G. Lawrence ; while
Mr. Lamb's tooled by Bartley, was fretful, and rose in
a style that betokened anything but the sweet qualities
of her owner's namesake. Owen's nag went off at a
moderate pace, and had covered nearly 100 yards
before Bartley had steadied his flyer to a trot. When
she did go, however, it was clear enough that " the race
was not to the Swift," in both its meanings, but that, as
to the rate of going, the affair was " all over but the
t
shouting." Mr. Lamb's mare shot by her opponent at
at quarter of a mile, and left her " as if she was standing
still," to use the phrase of a bystander. M
at about 600 yards, and thence orwa
seeing all chance gone by, prudently pulrlteld
tuh. Lawrence,
