DR. SYNTAX.
We learn that this celebrated animal, after passing the win-
ning-post at the late Richmond Meeting, and winning his
twentieth cup, fell with his rider. The greatest anxiety was
felt both for man and horse ; but such is the estimation in
which he is held in that country, even by the fair, that the feel-
ing was little for the former compared with that for the good
old Doctor. We have, however, the pleasure of stating, that
both are recovering, and the Doctor, it is said, is to spend
the remainder of his days in dover. We believe the Doctor
is now thirteen years of age.

TROTTING MATCH FOR 100 SOVEREIGNS.
The match between Mr. Jones's pony mare and Mr. Davies
Welch pony, to trot twenty miles, took place yesterday, on
the Lea-bridge-road, from the three to the fourteenth mile
stone and back again to the fifth mile stone. All the trotting
fancy at the east end of the town were present, and heavy bets
pending, the mare being rather the favourite. At starting the
mare made the play, and kept the lend throughout, closely
followed at that speed which left' most of the galloppers be-
hind. At the fourteenth mile stone the ponies were together,
but on the return the mare gained a little, and het jockey,
from superior speed, was unable to case her. lie did not let
her loose till near the end of the race, and she won 'lt by about
one hundred yards. The time occupied by the winner in per-
forming the match was one hour and yteen minutes. Sixteen
miles an hour tier ponies is a master7ptece of performance. An-
other match was made by Mr. Davis, in the afternoon to trot
his horse, carrying six stone, from the seven to the eight mile
stone, in three minutes and seven seconds, which he lost by
about ten yards.
PEDESTRIANISM.

We understand that 'Wright, the celebrated Bristol pedea.
trian (who is matched to walk 100 miles in forty-six successive
hours), has undertaken to walk 50 miles in twelve hours. .

We this day record another unnecessary painful, and labo-
rious walking feat, by a branch of the .11`111tillen family of
pedestrian notoriety. Thursday, James, elder brother of 'Wil-
liam, who some time ago walked on our ramparts 102 miles in
24 successive hours, undertook to walk on the same place, and
within the same space of time, 106 miles, lie started at six
minutes past two o'clock, P.m., and yesterday completed his
arduous self-imposed task, twenty-two minutes within the time.
