the LORD MAYOR, for this amongst other reasons—that if the

his brother on an ass—that his mother had brought him into the
world immediately after having heard of the loss of her husband
at sea ; and that his deformity was by her physician attributed to
the fright. Lie bad been brought up tentlegly, but the death of
his father had thrown the family into greatZistress.

WREXHAM.

Saturday se'nnight, a match was run over 'Wrexham Mee-
ground, between Air. Sawa.% chesnut gelding, Trump, aged,
and Lovarr's grey colt, The iluck, carrying a feather each,
for a considerable sum. The horse took the lead, and kept it fur
half the distance, when the colt passed him in a supenur style,
and woo the race by a length. In this race the knowingannea
were completely deceived, the horse being hacked at great odds.
It is supposed rie losg through the neglect of the groom the pre-
vious uight, who allowed bins improper food, even within a short
timc of starting. Great bets were depending; and in consequence
of the backers of the horse still being corthdent of his seperier
speed, another match is expected.
