WOOLWICH GARRISON RACES—IoIa 17.

These Races, from the convenient distance of Woolwich from
town, the journey thither either by land or water, and the beauty
of the surrounding scenery, attractions of this part of the country,
generally draw a very numerous attendance, and, though this year
compressed into one day, the exertions of the Stewards in catering
for the public amusement, have been so great and successful, that
finer sport, or a more brilliant company has seldom been witnessed,
in point of numbers, Ascot itself being rivalled. The equipages
were not so numerous as at the latter place, but this arose from
the facility afforded to visitors by the innumerable land and water
conveyances which are always plying between London and Wool-
wich. The greater portion of the company, of course, were pe-
destrians, but still tie sides of the Course were well lined with.
carriages, (including Lord• Worcester's, Sir B. Graham's, Ste.),
gigs, &c. and, altogether, we should think that there were nearly
10,000 persons present.
The Course was kept by a party of the Horse Artillery, in a
style that would have done credit to the finest Course in the king-
dom, and the highest compliments were paid to Serjeant-Major
&yield, who superintended this part of the business.
The Stewards were Major Walcott and Captain Dunn, and toe
much cannot be said in praise of their unremitted attention to the
duties they had taken on themselves. Everything was as it should
be, and the most sanguine expectations were more than realized.
The fine Band ol the Garrison wis stationed near the Judge's
Stand, and, between the Races, played several of the most ap-
proved pieces from Mozart, Rossini; • Weber, &c. imparting a fu-
ciliation to the seep, seldom to be met with.
The eacersively crowded state of the Warren afforded sufficient
opportunities to the light•finered tribe, who, naiwirlistandhig the
elgilance of the police, were successful in several instances, Lien
tenant Ward losing an elegant gold watch, chain, and seals; and
another Gentleman his pocket-book.
There were on the Course the Marquis of WoicesteilLord
Duowich, Sir B. Graham, Sir" W. Congreve • Generals Douglas,
Cuppage, Maclean ; Colonels Parker, Jones, 'Drummond, Power ;
Majors Jones, Walcott, Mills, Green; Captains Scott, Coawell,
Dunn; and a great many other Military Officers.
In the evening the Officers of the Garrison gave a splendid Ball
and Supper, which was numerously and fashionably attended.
The following is an accurate account of the day's sport :

mounting, Mr. Mills complained of Mr. Johnstone having crossed
him, when close to the Judge's Stand; upon which the Stewards
heard the evidence, mad decided it to be cross; consequently Chro-
nometer was placed " distanced." The cross was quite accidental.

FIGHT BETWEEN JIM WARD AND CANNON, FOR
1,000 SOVEREIGNS.
Yesterday was the day appointed for making good the second
deposit of gEIOO a-side, for this match. The scene of action was
Jack Randall's, at the Hole-in-the-Wall, Chancery-lane, and 'a very
numerous and respectable assemblage of the Fancy attended 'to
partake of an excellent sporting dinner. At nine o'clock, a Letter
arrived, directed to the Chairman, from the backer of eninoii,
apologizing for his absence, and enclosing a cheque fot the neces-
sary sum. Some doubts having existed in the mind of the Chair-
man, uto the expediency of receiving a cheque, when the bank
notes were expected, the friends of Ward immediately waved all
objection, and not only put down their own money, but added the
two hundred pounds fbr Cannon, resting perfectly satisfied in the
honour of his backer, and waving every objection which might be
taken in point of form. They said, all they wanted was a fair and
honourable fight, and there was no proposition in reason, with re-
gard to the deposit of the stakes, to which they were not disposed.
to accede. This declaration was received with loud and enthu.
Mastic cheers, and thus all difficulties were removed. The business
' of the evening being thus completed, the health, of Cannon and
Ward were drank with general acclamations, accompanied by a
wish—" that the best man might win."—Several bets were then
made, in which Ward was taken for choice, and, in sense instances,
was backed at five to four.

The conviviality and harmony of the evening was promoted in
no ordinary degree, by a present of a dozen of claret from the
Chairman, and a dozen of the best champaigne from Charley
Wright, of the Haymarket, who was for tke first time initiated as
a member of the Fancy. 4 good deal of betting also took place on
other forthcoming fights, especially upon that between Stockman
and Young Dutch Sam. The former was backedist six to four.—
Ben Burns also made a wager with Josh Hudson, to set-to with
him at his benefit on Monday, for half a dozen of wine.:- Neither
Cannon nor Ward were present, both being in training. The former
at Henley-on-Thames, and the latter in Yorkshire.
