LANIBTON PARK RACES.

•
This political Meeting took place yesterday (says the Duk-
HAM ADVERTISER of Oct 20) ; and, as we are informed, a
considerable number of persons were drawn together to witness
the match between the renowned Bergatni, and the no less cele-
brated Alderman Wood, which had excited more thin ordinary
interest.' .5t starting, the bets were decidedly in favour of Mr--
gami, who, in his avocation as a courier, had always been ac-
custorned. TO TAKE THE LEAD. The knowing ones were,
however,- completely taken in, and, perhaps, deservedly SO, for
they should have known that the Alderman, though heavy as
li"num site, Is REMARKABLE FORWARD in a political race,
whether it be for the Queen's Plate, a Sweepstakes, or a Match ;
and in this race, though he won by only half a head, yet he
proved himself half a head better than the Grand Master of the
Order of St. Caroline. We would speak of the liberality,,puh-
lic spirit, and disinterestedness of 31r. Lambton in getting up
these races, were we not aware that his hired eulogist will have
a better opportunity than ourselves to collect all the particu-
ars : to. him, therefore, -we leave the puffing department. The
following is a list, "with the results, of the several races :

SINGULAR COINCIDENCE:74R the contiguous
parishes and hanl'Ats of Bagshot, Frimley, and
Hawley, on the uorders of Surrey and Hants,
there are now resident four families, whose re-
spective surnames are Lard, Ham, Bacon, and
llogsficsh, who, though derived from one cogno-
mical stock, are probably unknown to each other
as neighbours.

A young lady was told by a married lady that
she had better precipitate herself from off the
Passaic falls into the basin beneath, than marry.
The young lady replied, " I would if I thought
I should find a husband at the bottom:"—(Sigf-
fordshire Advertiser.)
