MARKE TS. --This Day.

MARK-LANE.
The trade for wheat in the country markets held on
Saturday ruled quiet, and in some instances prices wero
somewhat easier. For spring corn the demand ruled
heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. Flour sold
slowly, at late rates.
On the Continent the wheat trade is quiet, without ma-
terial change in prices.
At New York very little business is doing for export to
Great Britain. Large shipments of oats have recently been
made from Canada to Europe.
Very moderate supplies of English grain were received
up to our market last week. The imports from abroad
consisted of 17,444 quarters of wheat, 6,000 barley, 131,814
oats, 2,292 beans, 4,855 peas, 4,066 linseed, 10,824 rape-
seed, 23,310 maize, 1,030 sundry seeds, 117 sacks and 1,425
barrels of flour.
The demand for seeds ruled inactive, at last Monday's
currency. East India linseed and rapeseed were firm.
Cakes were in fair demand, and American descriptions
were rather firmer.
Fresh up to our market to-day the ariivals of home-
grown wheat were very moderate. The trade for all qua-
lities was firm, and higher prices were demanded. Millers,
however, appeared indisposed to make extensive purchases,
and sales generally progressed slowly. Last Monday's
currency, however, was well supported, and in some in-
stances fine wheats showed a slight improvement in value.
The market was well supplied with foreign wheat. The
amount of business transacted was only moderate; never-
theless, prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of wheat were held at full prices.
Spring corn afloat were but little inquired for.
The supply of English barley on sale was small ; of
foreign, moderate. The trade was quiet, on former terms.
Malt sold slowly at late rates. •
Oats were in large supply. Good and fine corn was firm
in price, but inferior qualities were dull, and 6d to Is per
quarter cheaper than on Monday last.
Beans met a slow sale, at barely late rates.
Peas very dull and prices had a drooping tendency.
Flour met a slow sale, on former terms.

SPORTING NOTES.

Now that the Goodwood Meeting has come off
the less said about the mysterious doings of the
metallic operators the better. There was a great
gathering of spectators, bookmakers, and welchers;
but the latter class had the worst of it, as the ge-
neral public went more for amusement than for
backing horses. What with bills of sale on horses,
others scratched when the last penny has been got
out of them, and the equivocal intentions of owners,
horseracing is fast getting into as bad repute as
prize-fighting. Brighton races commence to-morrow.

For the stakes there is a very moderate lot of horses
engaged. The top weight, Archimedes, has lost all
form, and has no chance. Tomato has done no
work, and can't win. Ackworth has got too much
weight. Scamander, Bradamante, Rama, and The
Beadle are badly in. Of the remaining lot I can
see nothing to beat Wild Agnes and West wick, and
I fancy them in the order named. Bradamante can
win the Marine Plate, should Mr. Payne think

?roper to run her. Ostregor will beat The Dako
n the Champagne, as the latter will not forget his
severe race in the Goodwood Cup for some time.
The Fourteenth Biennial Stakes will be a good race
between Cecrops and Auguste, and the former
ought to win, as he beat a better lot of horses at
Newmarket than the Frenchman met at Goodwood.
The Railway Stakes will be a match between Knight
of the Garter and Fripponier, the former for
choice.

FIGHT BETWEEN MACS AND GOSS.

This Day.

This morning the contest between Mace and Goss
for £4OO came off without interruption. The party,
consisting of over 300 persons, started from St.
Paul's Pier for a trip down the river, and on ar-
riving off Purfleet at about a quarter to 8 o'clock,
the anchor was dropped, and the passengers- were
taken off in small parties in boats, and landed
on the southern side of the river. The persons in
charge of the ropes and stakes were amongst the
first to go ashore, the object being to get the
ring formed with as little delay as possible. It
was the work of 20 minutes nearly to land the whole
of the passengers, but by the time the last boatload
reached the shore the ring was not only formed but
Mace and Goss had entered it with the usual greet-
ing, awaiting the arrival of the referee, an office
fulfilled by a gentleman attached to the staff of
an old established sporting paper. On reaching the
ring this gentleman stepped inside for the purpose
of giving some necessary instructions, simultaneously
with which the belligerents retired to their respec-
tive corners, attended by their seconds, and they,
without the least delay, commenced making what in
pugilistic parlance is called their " toilette"—in other
words, they divested themselves of their walking
attire, u nder which they wore white breeches, trimmed
at the knee with a gay ribbon. Having " stripped,"
they each stood up, raising their muscular arms in the
air amidst the admiring shouts of the spectators,
while their seconds rubbed with towels their brawny
backs and shoulders. Both men looked in splendid
condition, and though dressed, or rather undressed
alike, and of the same size and weight, still they were
as unlike each other as it is possible for two men to be.
Mace, with a skin the colour of that of a mulatto,
looked the beau ideal of a highly-trained muscular
man. Goss, on the other hand, has a skin perfectly
white, with a not very prepossessing expression of
countenance, and a somewhat disproportioned figure,
and appeared the least likely of the two to come off
victoriously. He manifested, nevertheless, the most
determined pluck through the contest, though he got
very severely handled. Both men, to use a thread-
bare phrase, appeared decidedly " eager for the fray."
They advanced from their corners to the centre of the
very limited area, and cordially shook hands, Mace
jokingly cautioning his opponent to " take care of
himself." Having gone through this form of " good
fellowship," they at once receded from each other,
awl put tuumb-eivuo 1./WILIV. ---
they assumed their respective attitudes than Mace
led off the fight. After carefully feeling his way, and
making several feints, which Gojss cleverly countered,
he succeeded in slightly touching his man about the
head and face, when the partisans of Goss shouted
"Go in, Goss, give him no time." This advice served

to move Goss to more energetic action, and after re-
ceiving one or two slight taps from Mace he drew
his left fist up to his breast, and sending it forth

from the shoulder with fearful violence struck Mace
heavily on the chest. Mace, closely eyeing this
movement, sought to avoid the full effects of th
blow aimed at him by springing slightly on one side,
but in doing this he lost his equilibrium and toppled
a little forward. With extraordinary alacrity Goss,
following up his left handed blow upon his oppo-
nent's breast, struck upwards with his right, trying
to accomplish what is termed an " upper cut." He
failed, however, to make good his aim, for Mace
dropped back to his corner, and again springing
forward he struck Goss very severely on
the left eye. They then closed, and, after
exchanging some severe hitting, separated, and
striking at each other at the same moment they

both fell to the ground after fighting five minutes.
They were carried to their corners amidst tremend-
ous cheering. The favourable opinion that bad
existed for Goss being already► shaken, odds in
favour of. Mace were freely offered.
They were up to time in the second round, and

after exchanging some heavy blows, Mace struck
his adversary on the left eye, whichahe sought to
follow up with his right hand, but this attempt was
countered cleverly by Goss, who in return struck at
Mace but failed to land his blow. They finally
closed and fell to the ground, Goss undermost.
In the third round Goss's face was already covered
with the blood that flowed from a cut over his left
eye, still he was up to time, and advanced to the
attack almost savagely, striking with all his power
directly at Mace's face. Mace, however, who was
remarkably cool, smilingly countered the efforts of
Goss, delivering a third blow on his left eye, laying
open a portion of the cheek. This was followed by
some rapidly exchanged blows, and, closing, they
again fell to the ground.
In the fourth round equally terrific blows were
exchanged, and Mace threw his man heavily to the
ground.
In the fifth round Goss succeeded in striking Mace
a terrific blow over the left eye, which appeared to
close up rapidly. Sharp blows were exchanged,
and, closing, they both fell heavily to the ground,
In the sixth round Goss again struck Mace on the
same eye, which he returned by striking Goss with
his left hand on the right cheek, completely laying
it open.
In the seventh round both men, who appeared
equally as determined as when they first commenced,
exchanged some heavy blows, and finally fell to the
ground, Mace undermost.
In the eighth, ninth, tenth, and eleventh rounds
the fighting was very rapid and severe, Goss in every
case getting the worst.
In the 12th both men sparred a little more, and
then both men closing, Mace threw his man, striking
him twice in the face while he was in the act of
falling.
In the 13th Goss threw Macc.
In the 14th, 15th, and 16th rounds the fighting
was equally desperate, Goss by this time (25 mi-
nutes) becoming nearly blind from the blows he had
received on his eyes. Mace in two or three rounds
was thrown by Goss, and in two Mace threw his
adversary.
On the 17th, 18th, 19th, and 20th the same
punishment was received by Goss, still he was up
to the time in each instance, but in the 21st round
the sponge was thrown up, and Mace proclaimed
the victor, after fighting 21 rounds in 30 minutes.
