the last Racy was decided. We also observed Lord Clifton, Cap-
tains Fit zclarence and Moreton, and many other Military Officers.
The beauty of the weather, the admirable condition of the ground,
and the promise of good sport, attracted an amazing assemblage of
beauty and fashion, and the ground was literally covered with spies-
-did equipages. No accidents occurred to interrupt the pleasures of
`the day, of which we subjoin a statement:

BOXING,-

r,
Tuesday se'nnight, a regular scientific pugilistic contest, for two i •
guineas, took place in a field at Benton 'Bridge. near Newcastle, be. .
tween two young men, George Roe, a painter With Mr. Wallis, ~ 1
and James Cook, &tanner, in the service of Mr. Siflick. Their T
I
set-to was set of with" seconds, bottleholders, and all the necowary
appendages of a proper aril/. The•fight commenced a little before
nine o'clock, and lasted about two hours and a half, when, after 123
rounds, Roe was declared the victor, though not without having ,
been much punished. 1
CURIOUS FEAT.
Yesterday a very curious feat was performed on Blackheath, f •
between two Gentlemen holding a high rank in the Army, aided by i •
a pony not twelve hands high. The wager was for 300 sovereigns - IA ii
and owing to the secrecy preserved between both parties and those
few friends who had Interested bets upon the occasion (it being at
the early hour of five in the morning), but very few persons were
assembled as spectators. Two separate lines of stones of a hundred
each, placed a yard apart, were to be picked up amides inter -a
. z
basket at one extremity of the line by these two Ototletiliart ace of *
*liens wjts to have the assistance of the pony to aid him in accom-
pgsking the feat in less time than the other • but having to gekoff to !t
pick up the stones, it was stipposed he would lose more time than \ .
the speed of his assistant would compensate for ; bets were offered . i
by those on the ground at three to two against him. However, to
the surprise of those present, the pony enabled his rider to deposit
the whole of his hundred stones la the basket before his antagonist
had picked up his eighty-ninth. Both perdu appeared much fa-
tigued, and they immediately moped to town.

A letter from Paris, dated raturday, says—" This
evening the first representation of L'Ecoii du Shandok, u literally
translated from Suss mat's admirable comedy, will be given at the
Theatre Versailles. The boxes -ari•aU taken. No alteration has
been made in the plot, ehaioeters, or scenery of the play. A new
piece, called L'Ecolier Wont, was' wought out at the Odeon the
orlit.r evening. There is nothing very meritorious in this plece,which
was truly tolerably received."
