ENFIELD RACES.

Tana, Day.—The attention of thole fporting
men who are not at the Done/ Melting was par-
ticularly engaged by the Ladies' Plate of pl. for
all ages, which was run for at Enfield yeiterday.
Six honks were entered ; but the " tug of war"
was expeCted to he between reiver•Horn and gaci
Andrews. relvet-Horn was bred by Mr. Barsou,
in Windfor Foreft, and therefore takes his name
from a horn which grows out of the antler of a flag
at four year, old, and which, when it fprouts, from
its colour and formation, is called the velvet-born.
—This horfe, after winning at Ajeol, was bought
by the PRINCI of Wat Es, and fince purchafed of
his Royal Highnefs by Mr. DURAND. Jack An.
drew:' together with his brother Did Andrew:,
• (both from the fame fire and dam), were bred by
Mr. ROOKs. 'jack Andrews is a bay horfe of great
powers, and uncommonly fpeedy. From his
length, his tboulder, back, long reach, and high
fpirit, he was the favourite, though from Mr.
DURAND'S late fuccefs, the knowing-ones backed
Velod-Horn.

The firft heat was won by
.7aci Andrew:, though
Velvet-Horn pufhed him very hard for 200 yards to
the winning poll. The fecond heat was molt ad-
mirably run, and was determined a dead heat be-
tween Ploughboy, a grey horfe belonging to Mr.
Fa oc IY, and
.7aci Andrew:. The third heat was
eafily won by Yeti Andrew:, who was declared the
favourite of the and carried off the plate.
Although the morning was extremely unpropi-
tious, it did not prevent a full attendance : the
company was not fo numerous as on Monday, but
a greater number of fporting men were prefent.—
A tenons accident happened about.three in the af-
ternoon, owing to people crouding on the courfe
to fee the holies come in; a line of condua diame-
trically oppofite to the printed regulations, which
dire& that the clerks of the courfe do not allow
either equeftrians or pedeftrians to ftand within the
line. During the firft heat, many perfons crolled
the courfe repeatedly, and one mien was unfortu-
nately rode over by the clerk of the courfe ; two
of his ribs were broken, and he was otherwife
much hurt. A gig was overturned trolling the
ftream, next the mill: no other accident hap-
pened, than that two bucks in it received a tho-
rough ducking.
A Penn r-Racr, for ten guineas, was run for at
the St. Helena, on the Deptford-road, on Monday
afternoon, by three famous ponies.—The winning
pony (Margate), fell jute after he patted the win-
ning poll, and rolled upon the young lad who rode
him, who was fo much hurt as to be taken off the
ground fenfelefs, and, we are foray to add, is ain
in a very dangerous 'way.
Rowian MATCH.—Notwithflanding the conti-
nued rain, Greenwich Annual• Rowing M'tch, for
fix different prizes, took place on Tueßfay, by
term of the Loyal Water Fencibles. The prize
boat was won by a young man of King's Stairs.'
—Her Royal Highnefs the PRISCESS of WALES
viewed the conteft from the balcony of the Go-
vernor's houfe, and appeared much pleated with
the (terse. _ _

Bu Lt. Barriec.—A great number of perfons of
all defcriptions, but principally from Tothillfields,
Spitalfields, Kent.ftreet, and the Mint, affembled
at New Crofs, yefterday, for the ravage purpofe
of baiting a game young bulL—The Magiftrates
and Officers difperfed them from thence, and they
adjourned to Deptford Common; where the bull.
after killing two dogs, broke loofe, and hurt fe-
veral perfons very feverely befdre he could -be
fecured:

TN Covarr-GARDEN.--Left night in the
Comedy of Speed the Plough, thecharaaer of Sir Nib))
Blaadford was performed by Mr. LACEY, who ap-
peared,
for the firft time, at this Theatre, laft fea-
fon, in Hamlet. Mr. L. :frames a folemnity of de-
portment well-fuited to the part of the mortally
wounded Baronet,' and the defcription of his
wrongs are given by him with confiderable pathos;
but, upon the whole, we think him rather too la-
boured in his-at-lion, and, moreover, he appears of
too juvenile a figure.—On the part of No J3kacei.
ford, merely taken by Mrs. Lirctirteco at the
fpur of the moment, on account of the indifpcifi-,.
tion of Mrs. H. JoHvsTowE, we (ball forbear cri.
ticifm, as the lady is altogether out of her element. ,
Mr. Cooa a, letters from Newcaftle fay, is in a
*ate of health fo impaired by his late accident,
that a fortnight or three weeks more muff elapfe
before he can teturn to his duty at Covent Gar-
den Theatre.
The Yarmouth Theatre clofed laff week, after
the molt fuccefsfal feafon' ever known. The
Manager's benefit on the preceding Saturday was
a bumper—the receipt tog'.
A new piece was latelyproduced at the ?brain
de Vaudeville, in Paris, called The fildband, the Rob. 11
bar, awl the Lover. It proved to be a medley of jib
ferrelfcenes,andpf fheer nonfenfe. When the curtain
dropped, fome of the audience called for " the
Anther"—another party called as loudly for" the
Robber!" neither of courfe appeared. There are
thole amcmgft our Dramatic Writers who would
(brink inlike manner from this theatrical but and cry!
It is acknowledged by a molt numerous affem-
blage every evening at the Royal. Ctacus, St.
George's Fields, that the new Grand Speaacle of
Kin (War, or The Negro Slave:, brought out there,
has never been excelled upon any Rage, for the
ftrong intere* of its plot, and the isupreffive
cha-
ratters with which it abounds—the fcenery, for its
appropriate defigns and execution, is inimitable ;
and the 'nurse, by Mr. W.Wa It a, is allowed, by the
firft judges, to be admirably compofed—the effea
upon every ear is truly fafcinating--tbe whole of
this piece, in (port, with the otherlentertaisiments
of the night, prove a routine of complete and .ra-
tional =dement to every circle.
