MILE MATCH FOR. £2O AT BIRMINGHAM.-011 Satur-
day last the Brums turned out in shoals to witness a
match of considerable interest between Mr. C. Wyvill's
black pony Little Wonder, 12 hands lin.—a beautifully
developed animal—and Mr. George Hook's brown cob, 14
hands, for £lO a-side. The course was from the fourth to
the third milestone homewards on the Walsall road ; time,
two o'clock, prompt. At 245 they appeared on the score,
both being ridden—the pony by young Johnson, a very
" jock ;" the cob by " Bos," well known in trotting circles.
They were at once despatched, the little-'un getting off
best, and retaining the lead at a slashing pace for some 300
yards, when a length of stony ground upset his calculations,
and to avoid the same he swerved right across the road,
thus giving an advantage to his opponent, which was at
(taco accepted, but the pace being too much forced, the cob
broke into a gallop, which was continued almost uninter-
ruptedly to nearly half distance. At that point the pony,
being called on, spurted beautifully forward, and soon
passed the cob, gradually increasing the distance between
them, and eventually winning by about 30 yards, which
might have been considerably more bad not a "horsy"
character, in the most unsportsmanlike manner, attemptod
to ride the gallant little thing down. Time 3 min. 13 sec.
Mr. W. Martin, Duke of Cambridge, Groat King-street,
acted in a most satisfactory manner as referee. A consi-
derable sum was invested at 30 to 20 on the little 'un, but
while on the score even money was laid..
