GREAT MATCH.
The task of trotting in harness twenty-eight to in two hours,
has been seldom or ever performed since it was aecomplished three
years ago by Mr. Giles, of Leadenhall Market, over Sunbury
Common, until Monday. The match was performed by Mr.
Rogers's Traveller, over a seven-mile piece of grown! on the
Huntingdon road, driven by his servant, 7st. weight. It was for
200 soya., made sometime ago, leaving the owner the liberty of
starting him within a given tire. The horse was backed just
before starting, at even, and at sto 4. The ground was done as
follows :—The first seveu miles were performed in 28 minutes
and 59 seconds; the 14 miles, in 2 minutes under the hour ; the
tl, in 1 hour and 28 minutes and 10 seconds; and the whole
distance of 28 miles, in 1 hour, 59 minutes, and 4 seconds. The
horse performed the match well, making only two breaks the
whole of the distance. At the completion of the match, a gen-
tleman, named Phillips, undertook to gallop his' mare the seven
miles in 18 minutes, which lie performed with ease in half a mi-
nute within the time, riding 12st.—Betting 5 to 4 against time.

PEDESTRIANISM.
A gentleman of fortune, a Mr. Benn, started at five o'dock
on Monday evening, to go from St. Pour* Chureh-yard to the
S mile-atone, near Reading, and return in 20 hours, for a bet
of 100 tom

THE RING.
The long pending fight between Ward and Crawley is length
arranged, from the published challenge letter of the best, in which
he stated his money was lodged with the " T.flolborn Host,"
where it would remain for a week; and if h',4 Elea/lenge was not
accepted within that time, it would he witlAraw„ Jinni were
eu-
tertained that Crawls 7 would claim the. o,empionahip, if the opti_
&mime }mooed unheeded. This i•.„!„,ed Air. N. the backer of
Ward, to attend the Cattle Tm",rn on Sunday evening, where a
decent sprinkling of the, f:,ncy had mustered. The challenge on
the part of Ward Wag. ae.cepted ; and as on that night no business
could be transacted, the first staking was postponed till Tuesday
evening. Craw',ey,
it will be recollected, loot a battle to the al-
most iuviuckie late Gas Men, is afflicted with hernia, but in other
respects is k powerful and active boxer. Ward is known as the
most soientific professor on the list ; his connived at defeat by
Altbett irte has admitted. He was also conquered by Josh Hod-
eon, who was vanquished by Cannon, who was easily beat by
Ward, notwithstanding which, Ward has numerous supporters.
Of the other fixed fights—Bishop Sharpe and Gaynor, the former
is the favourite at five to four. Sampson and Neale, even bet-
ting. The Israelites can produce no suitable antagonist fur Curtis ;
and Young Gas and Jew Burn cannot find competitors. The
li.aghts of the Cross, who, in despair. forsook the Ring for the
Turf, and in the late St. Leger were Bedlamitee, still continua
frantic from their losses, but from the present matches begin to
opine that, with certain management, pugilism may again be pro-
ductive of profit.
The friends and backers of Ward and Crawley accordingly met
at Belcher's Castle Tavern, by appointment, when 101. said* wee
staked. The fight to take piece ou the 2d of January, withba
100 miles of London, and the place of fighting to be named by Mr.
Dowling. The second deposit to be made good at Wopshott's
this day fortnight; the third at Randall'* ; and the whale of the
money to be made good at Belcher's a fortnight previous to fight-
ing. Nothing further of any consequence took place, and each
party seemed satisfied with the match.
Ward is at present on a sparring tour in Lancashire, but an
hearing that the match has been made, he will, no doubt, lumen
to commence traiuing.—Cravvley is very well, and looks with con-
fidence to the result of a contest which must give hint a fair chance
of wearing the Laurels of the Champion of. England.
DICE CURTIS Alin BA assay Amton.—These men were both
present, and expressed an anxious desire to have an opportunity of
appearing in the same ring with Crawley and Ward. Barney
said, he was sure of 701. towards making a match fur one hula-
dred pounds, and inteeded " trying it on" with " our people*" em
the Stock Exchange, to complete the needful. Dick also said be
was deficient, but he eutertatned no doubt, that if Aaron uvula
once say be was " up to the mark," he should be able to *Tait
himself of the liberality of those by whom he had been so repot..
edly designated as their pet. We think it is more than prebstble
that the Sheenles will not be " backward" in " coming &mull"
on this occasion, and that the Fancy will,:eenireenee the new
year in a manner highly encouraging to their future "oases.
Monday next has been named 14 making the match at the Castle
These then are lv
