Bolingbroke was very steady throughout tl-.0 afLarnoon
at 4to 1, the slightest advance on which would have
been taken in many quarters; Mildew was also firm, and
large sums were laid out oa The Nigger at 8 to 1 and
15 to 2; on Pits.furd at 8 to 1; and on Nutshell, at 25 to
1. Clincher one moment was at 9to 1. laid three or
four times, but "came agaiv," and closed at 13 to 2.
Voltigeur also improved; ditto Ghillie Callum (on an
outlay of nearly 1,000/. at 30 to 1), Deicoon. and Captain
Grant. Of the extreme outsiders, St. Fabian and The
Swede were most in favour. The Italian was backed at
25 to 1, in hundreds, and in ten minutes after was at

1,000 to 10! It is doubtful if tither he, Mayors, Blarney,
Sir Charles, or Python will start.

OAKS.
No betting worth quoting.

TROTTING EX IRAORDINARY.

The match for 501. a side, between Mr. Johnson'a
Ja,:key and Mr. Porter's American horse Tinker, to trot
five miles in harness, which was fixed for Monday last,
at Sunbury-common, aitrac!ed a large number to that
well-known locality. They were, however, destined to
disappointment, for an intimation Ras given by Ilia
police authorities that they should interfere to prevent
the match coming off. Accordingly Friday was agreed
on, and the venue changed to Southall, on the Uxbridge-
road, whither an immense concourse of equestrians and
charioteers wended their way, behind and outside all
serts of quadrupeds, the Red Lion being the rendezvous.
Umpires and a referee being chosen, the nags were
brought our, harnessed to light match carts, Tinker
being driven by Paget, while Mr. Bartley tooled Jackey.
Shortly afier half• past four the horses l. fcthe sta• ting-post,
two of Frocisham's chronometers, locked in their boxes,
haying been adjusted for the purpose of keeping time,
whereon considerable sums depended. Tinker got first
well into stride, and obtained a lead. which he increased
to about 50 yards by the end of ill() first mile, Jackey
waiting till they came to the hill, where he drew up to
him. Tinker went at a rattling pace to the second
mile, when Jackey slightly drew upon him ; in the fol-
lowing half-mile, they were side by side. Immense ap-
plause accompanied this sharp trial for the lead ; the
struggle ended by *Rickey, gradually " forging a-head,"

PEDESTRIANISM AT MANCHESTER.
THE MATCH TO WALK 21 MILES IN THREE HOURS.
—This arduous undertaking, as most of our reader'
know, had its origin in a bet of 1001. between two Man-
chester sporting men, the one posting his " cool hun-
dred," conditioned that he would find a man, within a
month,who should walk fair " toe and heel" twenty-ono
times over a measured mile, and the other maintaining
an opinion tout an contraire, by posting his five score
Victories on behalf of the " whag-footed old gentle-
man." Temperance was applied to by the
" time" as the most experienced individualo nt
