FOOT RACE.
Wednesday morning a well contested Foot-race took place at
Windsor, fer five guineas a side, between Layton, a cabiret-
maker, and Grid'liths, a coachman. They started at the Long
Walk-gate where they were to run to the Hand-post the other
side of. the Prince Regent's Cottage, and back. They keys to-
gether, aide by side, and continued so till they got to the Finger-
post. Griffiths touched it first, bin before be could turn Alma
Laytoa tout it, and he came equal with him again; they re-
turned down Walk neatly equal, Layton being rather a head.
Betting was then qual; but when they came near the double
gates Layton got -head, and continued en till he arrived 'at the
goal, when be was zoo yards a-head; haring rata fit miles I. 45
minutes and three seconds.
BOXING.
DUTCH SAM AND KNOWLE3WORTHY.
Yesterday the long-pending match between the vit.
teran, Dutch Sam, and Knowleremrthq the baker, took
place at Moulsey-hurst, for fifty guineas a side, and a
subscription purse of fifty guineas. From eight to
ten o'clock in the morning, the road up Piccadilly,
through Hyde-park comer, and along Brompton,
was one endless train of vehicles of every description;
coaches-and-four, chariots, chaises, tilbitrys, gigs,
dog-carts, and common carts, filled with the strangest
medley of persons that London could disgorge, were
pressing on with their best speed to the place of ac-
tion. Nor were multitudes of pedestrians wanting to
till up the bustle. The latter run along she font.
paths, while the former occupied des breadth of the
road. Such a vast concourse of people has seldom
been witnessed upon any similar °cession. The claim
of Dutch Sam to pre-eminence in pugilism is so well
established, that little peed be s lid ot science on this
occasion. During his prize-fighting career, for several
years past, this doughty hero has carried every thing
before him; and there is no man in existence, it WAS
believed, of equal weight, who c?luld stand before
him. He conimmced his pursuit in the fany 'by
beating Caleb *Baldwin, the Ciampion of Westmin-
ster, who had triumphed over his opponents in forty
pitched battles. Sam follovred up hii success by
overthrowing Tom Belcher in tliree different contests.
If there was a lack of confidence at any time in Sam,
it was ea account of his isregidaii?les, even during
training, when he has been. known to Zutsle Awn t.la
,or a doom ste.tataf gill in a nrJrniii,; ; Lilt laSserith-
standing his advanced age for t tonzer (42), aid all
his if imperfections on his head,' he was the tavourite
of the thy, about S.to 1.
Knowlesworthy is an athletic young man, ehnist
twenty-four years of age, ,and was a youth of much
promise s he had already beaten in high style two or
three /trine lads ; and which tended most to inspire
confidence of success. he is of the Bristol School.
The outer-ring hailing been formed, and the crowd
of vehicles and pedestrians being completely arranged,
the Baker first appeared, in a minor ring of twenty
feet, in which the comet was to take place. On
stripping, he made a proud display of his lusty limbs,
and assumed a confidence which threatened to blight
the laurels which Sam had so hardly won. The
Baker was loudly cheered by his fr'ends. Sam soon
followed, and having received hi, tribute of applause,
stripped, and appeased eager for the fray." The
sat-to commenced at ten minutes before one, us a !navy
shower of rain.

A solemn pause ensued, and great anxiety was
evinced by the amateurs to witness an onvet, upon
the issue of which depended so nuny thousand pounds
and so much pugilistic fame.

from aze or condition, he was no match for the baker. H: •e

and Sant's credit.
