TROTTING MATCH FOR 1,5001.

One of the most interesting trotting mitches ever known
in the sporting world was made at the One Tun, Jernsyn-
street, St. James's, yesterday se'nnight, between partie-; of
great respectability, the one a merchant, and the other
well-known on the turf.—The following- is extracted from
the articles:— _ .

"One Tun, Jermyn-street, St. James'ii, Nov. 24,
" First—Mr. A. licAs Mr. 11. 1,5001. to 5001. that he
(Mr. B.) does nut find a horse to trot four miles in twelve
minutes in harnes. _ _ _

.....
" Second—Mr. A. bets Mr. 13. 1,000/. to 500/. he does
not find a horse to trot four miles in twelve minutes and
a half in harness. And—
" Third—Mr. A. bets Mr. 11..5001. to 5001. be does
not find a horse to trot four miles in thirteen minutes in
harness. . _ .

" Mr. B. to give Mr. A. one weck'ii notice of the day
and place, and the matches to come off within 100 miles
of London." .

Should Mr. R.'s horse succeed in winning them bets,
the feat will be tinparallelvel in the history of horse-flesh.
If he win the first, he, of course, will wiu all ; but he
will still have the chance of the other two events. To
gain the first event the horse must trot (in harness) at the
rate of twenty miles an hour.

Another match was made last week against time. One
gentleman betted another 2001. to 1001. that he did not
find a horse to trot 100 miles in ten hours and a half.
Four months is allowed to perform the feat.
A Racing match was made for 100 guineas, to be run
at the next Anson Hunt Races, three mites, between Mr.
Alytton's Euphrates 9st. (rising 13 yrs), and Mr. Giffard's
Sampson, 4 yrs, Sat. Slb. Betting 5t04 on Euphrates.
