GRAND PERFORMANCE.

A grand match took place on Saturday between Cap-
tain J. Swaine and Mr. W. George, both gentlemen ama-
teurs ; the terms of the match were, to trot ten miles,
zallop the same horse ten more, and then drive the saine
horse in harness ten miles. These gentlemen had before
contended, when victory was decided in favour of Mr.
George. Betting in this instance was five to four on Mr.
G.; but plenty of takers, from the circumstance of the
Captain only being beat on the former occasion by half a
minute. The match was to have taken place nearßrighton,
but it came off near Berkshire. The match altogether was
beautifully contested, and was decided thus.—

NOVEL WAGER.

A wager of a very novel description took place on Satur-,
:lay, on the Acton-road, between two amateurs—a Mr.
Smith, and a gentleman, whose name was understood to bo
Sullin. The match was for two sovereigns aside, Mr.
Smith undertaking to trundle a wheel of a chaise, by the
spokes alone, in less time than his opponent would whet-? a
barrow the same distance, which was half a mile. Betting
was five and six to four against Mr. Smith, odds greedily
:.aught at by his friends, who were very sanguine of his
success. At starting, Mr. Smith took the lead, managing
his wheel like a good practitioner. Mr. Sullin keeping close
by the side of his antagonist, and after a little distance
taking the lead, and finally winning the watch by 20 yards.
