MATCH TO TROT 100 MILES IN 12 SUCCESSIVE Ilouns.
—This match, made by Captain _-fleaseley.,..-of Ivey, to do the
above distance with two
,riders, the owner, (who- rides 12 atone);
the- first 50 miles,..,and featherweight the next 50,400kplace
over a ten-mile piece of around on the Ipswich road, on Tues-
day, for 200 guineas. The mare to perform the task was under
15 hands, but showed much strength and blood. • She was
backed at 6to sto win. She performed 12, miles in the first
hour, and within 200 Yards of the same distance in the second
hour, before the bit -was drawn. The first 50. miles was per:.
formed in five hours and five minutes. Here the mare was
rubbed down, she fed well, and started again after halting half
an • hour. She next carried little more than seven stone of
weight, and travelled on very pleasantly at the rate of ten miles
and a half an hour, which covered loss of time and stoppages.
She won cleverly, with 20 minutes to spare. Orie in the morn-
ing was the starting time.

• MATHEMATICS.-I f all the sinus's of the (pia-
drant of . a circle be raised perpendicularly, on the points
of the circumference where they terminate, they will
form a cilindrieal space, e9ual .to the square of the ray
of a circle ; this is the discovery of PascirAT. ; but in
conical sections is there nothing . like this property of the
circle ? This is what neither M. Ptscuar, nor any other had
hitherto eXamined: He found in each section, as in the -circle,
lines, which being raised perpendicularly on the.circuinferenee
of the section to the- corresponding points, form a ffuperticies
equal to some other known superficies of the section,; so in the
parabola, if all the lines drawn from the direction .to the focus
be raised perpendicularly on the circumference of the parabola
to the points that answer.to them, and which are those.parallels
corresponding to the axis, meet the parabola, M. de la HIRE
found that the superficies thus formed is equal to a place in a
known curve.. It is the same with the ellipsis and hyberbola._
His method is that of the infinite paroa,! which consists in
shewing that the train of the lines he takes is such that each of
them being multiplied by the Arcus infinite Rums' of the cor-
responding curve, makes a rectangle equal to 'Ott clement of
some space known in the same curve.
