GneaT PertvonmANce.—The match between a
brown mare belonging to Mr. Isaacs, and a Juni-
per horse the property of a Mr. Martineau, fur
200 g►rineas, and which had excited mulch sport-
ing interest, took place yesterday on the Barking
road. The match was to do sixty miles, and to
carry 3st. each. The animals kept together the
first 16 miles, which was performed within an hour.
At 22 smiles the Mare was halted to wash her
mouth, and the horse went on and led her about
a mile. At the 40 miles both were together again
and bits were drawl, after performing the distance
in two bouts and 13 minutes. 'The mare began
to flag in the 56th mile, after a sharp race of six
miles tor the lead, rind in the 57t11 mile she was
pulled up, the horse being nearly a mile a-bead.
The horse did the ground, and won in four hours
and 16 minutes.

An extraordinary bet of 50 guineas has hee'n
decided by two Gentlemen of St. Colntob, one of
whom undertook to run a velocipede from that
pace to Liskeard, a distance of 26 miles, in four
hours. Not‘vithstandiug the badness of the road,
whicl► cJused the machine to move very heavily,
he won his wager, by performing the journey 21
minutes within the time,.with perfect ease.

Hereford Music Meeting• commenced on Tues-
day, under auspices equally gratityiug and pleas-
ing, and the company arrived is already numerous
and highly respectable. The Cathedral was com-
pletely crowded. The Sermon was preached by
the Rev, Dr. CLUTTON, one of the Stewards
the Rev. Gentleman chose his text from 211 Kings,
4th chap. Ist verse, anti in a discourse of energetic
eloquence, which commanded the deepest atten-
tion, ably advocated the cause of the widow and
the fatherless. The collection at the church-door
was upwards of 2301.- being considerably larger
than any former one received on the first day.—
The Concert in the evening, at the New Shire-
ball, was as fully attended as we ever remember
on the first night.
