WIICIIESI Ell, Nov. 8.

The annual Race on Abbot stone Down, com-
monly called the Farmers' Race, took place on
Teesday last lot the It 11. Cup, which was given
to be rou for by horses, &C. belonging to, and to
he rode by, farmers in the district of the hunt,
such horses, &c. never having started (except for
ait H.. Cup), paid, or received finfeit,, nor
basing been in training before theist of Septem-
ber last, weight, 12 stone, the best of three
t oldie heats, NV hen eight horses were shewn,
and the to:lowing seven started for the cup about
one O'clock :
Mr. John Waight's bay gelding (of "Winchester), rode
by Mr. George Complin 1 1
Mr. (.'u.tis's- bay gelding (of Basingstoke), rode by

Mr. Smith's brown gelding, role by Mr. Vine, of
oton-bourne
Mr. Biggs's brown mare, rock by himself 0 3
Mr. Sitrimpton's brown mare.
Mr. Peru': bay gelding.
Mr. Bailey's brown gelding.
The cup (which iest handsome and valuable one).
was adjudged to Mt. Weight, and the jockey whip
to Mr. Curtis, as, being second both heats. There
was most excellent sport, and the race, though de-
cided at two heats, was well contested, especially
between -the two foremost horses, Mr. Waight's
horse only winning the first heat by about half a
length, HIA the second by rather more than that
distance. Before starting, and indeed even after
the first heat, bets were much in favour of Mr.
Curtis', horse ; for though ‘Vaight's shewed
good blood, and is in every eespect a valuable ani-
mal, the other seemed to possess more activity,
and to have a better use of Ids. legs : the Only.
circumstance in favour of Mr. Waighete horse
(and Which we must allow is no small one) was
other.o,tily about tour. The weatk:r in the early
part of the morning{ appeared 'rather nefavour-
able, which perhaps prevented the attendance of
many pedestrians, but there was a good spew of
horsemen and cat riages ott the down, and the day
turned nut to be very fine.
Atter the race upwards at 150 gentlemen and
farmers sat down to an e cvlieat dinner, provided
on the occasion by .It. liedsoe, at the Swan Inn,
Alresford. The table was cOvered with 3 profusion
of the choicest as well as the must substantiel
dishes its the SeiISTM , which were sersed up .by

praise : it need not be added that they, as stet)
si the ether liettors, flowed prolatsety ie cuprous
libations to the jolly god. J. T. Villebois, Esq.
the woolly Steward, most ably filled the chair,
and the evening was spent with the greatest hi-
larity tent harmony, in the course met which many
loyal mei appropriate toasts were given, and se-
veral eicellent songs were sting. The company
s,perat4l at a late hour highly gratified.

" It is not my •iutention, at this time, to say
much to you on the snbject of the trial of IVaring

clikrge that I could disprove by two witnesses,
which I hope was 'di'vproved to your entire satis-

every word of it is accurately true, yet as troth

termed by the Professots of English Law, wicked
