it shall he necessary to produco that certificate, or to

Stewards, before weighing, and in the event of the owner
or jockey being unable to comply with the rule, the clerk
of the scales will have strict orders not to weigh the
rider." Adjourned.

THE KENTUCKY CHALLENGE.
We extract the following from Wilkes', Spirit, of
Jan. 19 : —lt will be remembered that in our issue of
January 5 we announced that in the next number of the
Spirit an offer would appear on the part of Mr. Jerome to
run Kentucky against any horse in the world. The race,
was to be anywhere from a two-mile dash to four-mile
heats, and the stakes from $lO,OOO to $30,000. This
statement, we said, was authorised by Mr. Jerome, and
WO support nobody really cleated that Not, although it

appears that some, whose ignorance and stupidity is just
about equal to their impudence, pretended to doubt it, and
said that this challenge was all a mistake. It was also
declared that Kentucky had no occasion to resort
to "bluster." By this we are to infer, we suppose,
that the challenges promulgated in old times by eminent
turfmen North and South; in England by the owners
of Eolipse, The Flying Dutchman, and Gladiateur ; and
more recently in this country by Mr. .Alexander, Mr Tra-
vers, and Mr. Hunter on behalf of Asteroid and Kentucky,
were nothing but "blusters ;" furthermore, that when Mr.
Jerome contemplated the issue of the challenge for Ken-
tucky, he meant "bluster." What impudence is this which
thus blindly charges the most able, influential, and honour-
able men upon the turf of this country and England. We
care nothing at all for the pretended doubt of our veracity,
because the doubters could not help believing us;
but we
do care about the fling at turf men who have challenged,
or even have contemplated challenging. Dy the letter
from Mr. Jerome, which fcllows this, it will bo seen that
our statement was perfectly correct—that he intended to
issue such a challenge, -and authorised us to announce the
fact, but after mature consideration has concluded not to
do so. This letter is as folluws:—

" Head- Quarters of the American Jockey Club,
New York, January 14, 1867.
"Editor of Wilkes's Spirit.—My dear Sir—You - direr,
perfectly co:roct in saying in your issue of the inst.
that you were 'authorised to state' that a challenge would
be published iu detail in the next number of the paper, to
run Kentucky against any horse in the world, any race,
from a two mile dash to four mile heats for a 'Large stake.
" I did so authorise you to make that e.nnouncement,
and at the time it was my intention to issue such a chal-
lenge. Upon further consideration, however, and mainly
for reasons which concern me alone, and therefore need
not not be published here, I had decided not to do so. I
do not mean by this to create a belielf that I have abso-
lutely resolved not to run Kentucky in any race. In spite
of some obstacles that I now perceive to my doing so witb.
convenience, I might be induced to run his in a grea:t
match, one worthy of his performances and renown. It
may, however, be fully understood that he will w.st be
trained again, unless it be for the purpose of running, 'such
a match ; and that in no event will he be run for the
purses and current prizes of the Jockey Club or a`ly other
race meetings.

" LEONARD W. 4IROME."

Flat Race for £lOO at Lewes.

A match between Mr. Paxton's Eastbourne and Mr
Tompsett's Lunatic, for £5O a-side, 12st each, came off on
Lewes racecourse on Tuesday, and created much interest in
the neighbourhood, a large party of ladies and gentlemen
being present to witness the encounter. Eastbourne was
trained by W. King, of Alfriston, well known as the trainer
of Dalby, and for some time the horse had attre.cted as
much attention as if he were the veritable Chester Cup
hero. Lunatic was prepared on the Telscombe gallops, but
from last Thursday he had been exercised under the care
of his jockey, Walter Cook, on the Lewes MD. Betting
became slightly in favour of Eastbourne when it oozed out
that a certain jockey known to fame as George Fordham,
who was staying in the neighbourhood, would be entrusted
with the mount. Mr. Marcus Verrall acted as judge, and
the following was the result of the race:—
Match, 50 soya, 10 ft, 12st each ; 2 miles.
Mr. Paxton's Eastbourne (G. Fordham ) 1
Mr. Tompsett's Lunatic (W. Cook) 2
Betting-2 to 1 on Eastbourne. The nen-favourite
went off like mad to the half-mile post, where Fordham
brought up Eastbourne, and after "kidding" at the dis-
tance, came away opposite the stand, and won by a length.
Several well known racing men were present, including
Mr. R. Porter and Mr. "Dalby" Bennett. The result of the
match was received with loud cheering, and Fordham may
claim the honour of having ridden the winner of the firs:
Bat race of 1867.
