BRIGHTON, AUGUST 2t.

A match was made yelleiday morning on the
Steine, Mr. FOURDRINIRR'S horfe Curricle, againft
Mr. TAYLOR'S Hunter. To run one mile on the
Bri,`,ton courfe. The bettings were 6 to 4. in
favour of the hunter.
At one o'clock, the horfes flatted. It was a
hollow thing. Curriele was nearly diflanced. Loft
by twenty lengths at leaft. No bettings on the
Courfe.
Mr. FOURDRINI ER'S jockey was but indifferent;
the other was fair.
The race ground was very thinly attended, the
(porting men being all gone to York. The PRINCE
and a party were prefent. On the return of the
company, as Mr. R. was driving down the hill in
his curricle, the horfes ran away, and overturned
the chaife at the entrance of the town, where it
was dallied to pieces : providentially Mr. R. re-
ceived no perfonal injury from the accident. There
never were remembered fo many accidents as we
have had in our neighbourhood fnce the races.—
On Wednefday, a fimilar one happened : a gig was
troken to pieces, and the leg of the horfe much
torn, by running againft a wall of flint Rones. The
young men of fafhion here are fo high fpirited,
that they never think of neck-breaking, in gallop-
ing down the Suffer hills.
AUG. s4.—Many families are leaving Tun-
bridge Wells, to enjoy the purer air of Brighton ;
it is earlier than ufual for this circuraftance to
happen, which help.; to make the fulleft town we
remember at this time of the feafon. '

It is rumoured, and, we believe, with Tome de•
gree of certainty, that as loon as harveft is over, a
camp of 5000 men is to be formed in the neigh-
bourhood of this place.
Bread continues dear; meat, as ufual, from rod.
to Md. ; fifli cheap, foles at 6d. and 4d. per lb.
turbot at Bd. and tod.

The Promenade Grove was open lall week in
honour of the Duke of Yosta's birth-day : the com-
pany numerous, and of the firfl rank, among
them the PRINCE of Vilma:, am. Several devices
were exhibited by tranfparent paintings, and in the
emu& of the fire works, applicable to the occafion.
The whole met with general approbation.
Many families have lately arrived here, and fe-
veral more are Papa :led. The ball of the Maflcr
of the Ceremonies was very full. The Duke and
Mello, of Gaartou' Lady B d Mrs.
FITZHEREFRT, were there ; the two latter were
very elegantly &did.
The Marchionels Wait-may and her charming
family live here very retired, in expectation of her
Lord from India.

The Patmca has left us for a few days, but is
expefted again in the courfe of a week, with many
of his friends.

HEREFORD, AUGUST ir.

The boat race yeflerday was well contefted; the
cup was won by the Anne, Mr. Doww ES. Five
boats 'tatted, one was drawn, and three ftarted for
colours ; they were won with cafe by the Wye,
Mr. PURCHASE. It afforded much fport—feveral
thoufands of fpeCtistors were on the banks of the
river, a band of mnfic on the water, and many
marquees and tents were pitched in a meadow by
the fide of the beam.

By the inclofed lift (fee Monday's STAR) you
v.ill perceive Cte&ell and Firit Fruits were enter-
cd this morning to run, and great fport was look.
cd for : we had a vale deal of running, but no
fport. Creffwell won the firft heat, and was fo
hard run by Chaunter, that it was thought he could
not win another. Chaunter fufFered Full Fruits to
\r in the fecond, and then took the third ; the fourth
Creffwell was drawn, and Chaunter, as at Wor-
cefter, beat Firfk Fruits with cafe, as I told you
weight only prevented Chaunter from winning
the firft day. Creffwell now carried three ftone
more, Chaunter one ftone lets. Crawl' was the
favourite till the fecond heat.

To•day there was another boat race—three
Ranted ; the cup was won by Mr. BIRD, the co-
:ours by Mr. Ptiac 14 • sr. The banks were crowd-
ed again, mufic, &c. as yeflerday.
Very good (port on the race ground to-day, bets
varying greatly every heat. Fugleman was the
favourite at Ratting, 3 to 2 againd the field; Pil-
grim won the fin heat, Fugleman came in fe-
cond—fecond heat won by Citizen—great bets
were offered (a to 1) Citizen did not win the plate,
and taken—Citizen was leaft thought of. Fugle-
man had a frefli rider for the third heat, his owner
ifpeding the firtt,ornot th ink ing him a bood joc key.
Fugleman won it hollow—it was then nearly dark,
moll people quitted, thinking it a done thing, and
that Fugleman mutt win. They have jug run the
lag beat in the dark, and, to the great furprife of
moil, and heavy log of many, Citizen has got it,
