SACK RACE.—Friday a sack race took plate round
Gem ge' s.squ are, Glasgow, between two gentleni .n,
for a wager of Li. They coniplaed their ccu!se of
4i minutes, to the great amusement and astoti .hir.ent
of a respectable company.
Mr. Trio:was KNICAIT, of Tewkesbury, has under-
taken, fir a wager of 200 guineas, to perform tl,a
astonishing pedestrian feat of 100 miles in nineteen
successive hours, either to walk or run, but without
any assistance whatever. The match was made OR
Monday last, and is to be performed within a month,
or forfeit £2O. Immense sums are pending.
A race, which excited much sporting interest, took
place on Tuesday, over the Blackwater witting
ground, between Captain H,►asoN's grey gelding
Jffry, and a bay horse, the charger of an Officer of
the 14th Pragoons. The distance to gallop was
miles. The gelding made play at speed, and both
horses run the whole of the ground, as follows, as near
as could be ascertained by the umpires :

the bay horse.
Instances of mad dogs have of late been very nu-
merous. The parish. of Clerkenwell is, very prudently,
placarded, by order of the Magistrates, enjoining.all
the inhabitants who have dogs, to keep them tied r.p,
under the threat of a penalty for neglect ; Camden-
town has been alarmed, during the last ten days, .a
consecprence of a mad dog having run through that
place last Sunday se'nnight, and bitten many do, s

have also occurred about Louth and Welhy, ard

at the top and plain to the wrisr, which is finished by a fine
sarrow laee. Over this dregs is worn a filet of pale amher

Mrs. Bell's Bathing Preserver is made quite in a novel man-
ses, to which is attached a cap to be removed at pleasure, made
of delicate silk to keep the head dry. The Preserver is made of
such light materials, that a lady may. carry it in a tasteful oiled

This dress is intended to represent a lady in the Circassian
corset, which continues in the highest estimation ; it might in-
deed be termed, with the greatest propriety, the corset of the
Graces, since nothing can display a fine form to no much advan-
tage. It is but justice to Mr.. Bell's taste to say, that she de-
serves the greatest credit as the Inventress of two corsets so Wtll
suited to every stage of lie, and so admirably adapted to display
to advantage the slight or the full proportioned female figure.--
Adieu to steel busks, long stays, and all the torturing cempres.
dons under which British beauty has so lortg laboured • the Cis;
cassian and Wellington corsets have for ever banished them.
