MATCH AGAINST TIME.

Yesterday an excellent feat was decided upon Waterloo-
bridge.—T. CourEa, the runner, undertook, for 101.,
to draw a gig one mile, trundle:a hoop one mile, row a boat
one mile, run a mile, walk a mile, and walk half-a-mile
backwards—all of which he undertook to do iu one hour.---..
Betting was S too against him, but plenty of takers,—Tbet
pedestrian appeared on the ground a quarter before three,
He commenced with drawing a light chaise cart a mile,
starting from a few yards before the Strand gate of the
bridge, and going twice to the other gate and bask. His
next performance was the walking a mile, which be did
with uncommon quickneas ; he then walked half-a-mile
backwards ; he appeared after this much fatigued, rau
down the steps, and got into a boat, in order to go to Black,
friars-bridge and back, the tide running up, but en start.
iag, the current was so strong that the boat was forced
under the arch before he had his mills out ; he, however.
came through the arch, and did his rowing with nueommoit
speed, proving himself, in every stroke, an excellent senile+,
He then eommenced bowling a hoop one mile—this he ditt
in about eight minutes without once stepping—be then
had five minutes and a half left to do the remaining mite ;
he did the half mile in two miuutes and a half, and the re-
maiuing half-mile in 4.5 seconds within the given time.
Although the weather was so unfavourable, not less than,
5,000 persons were assembled to witness the feat.

FOX AND HARE HUNTING.

On Tuesday last, Colonel G. Wyndham's fine pack of
Fox-hounds met at Applesham Furze, wher.., among about
one hundred and twenty horsemen, as. many as eighty
scarlet frocks were exhibited. The day was damp, but
not cheerless. Soon after meeting, a brace of foxes gott_
up in the Furze, one of whiet was presently chopped, the
other broke cover in good style, and after a run of about
five miles, and Feouriy:ig through Stubbs'e Bottom, was
killed in Stoke Furze. This was scarcely effected, when.
a third fox was. unkenuelled in the Gorse Patel], which
stood for C2Aenkenbury Ring, with the dogs in full ery
He sCu.r.lded from the Ring down to Whiston-bostel into
Nrniston Park, and then merrily on for West Grinstead.
After a chime altogether of about twelve miles, however. '
the haze became so thick, and the drizsling discharge from
the clouds so increased, that the dogs were called off, and
the diversion was prematurely put an end to.
As our Subscription Harriers, with a gallant field o•
sportsmen, were proceeding to the meeting-place, the
Racedown, on Wednesday, a hare got up before them,
which was pleasantly pursued down the hollow fromh the

A HIGHWAY-WOMAN !—Our readers have
often read of highway-men, but it was reserved for tilt,
present generation to have their ears tickled with that of

as a young woman was coming into Dumfries with her

accosted, on this side Newton, by a matronly v,Otnan who,
sans eeremonie, demanded the money she 1,4(, i
