CRICKET.

The Cordwainers of Newark having recently played theßraziers
and Tailors residing there, and beat them, gave the Staff of the
Royal Sherwood Foresters a challenge, which was accepted. The
game was played on the 29th ult. and terminated in favour of the
latter by a majority of 42 runs. Although the Cordwainers were
convinced from the first they were playing a losing game, they,
nevertheless, conducted themselves throughout with great civility.
At the close the Sherwood lads invited the losing party to partake
of a convivial glass, which was accepted, and the evening was spent
with harmony and good humour.

THE EXTRAORDINARY DOG BILLY.
This wonderful phenomenon, whose propensity for killing rats
never was exceeded, has again been matched for 100 sovereigns to
kill one hundred rats in seven minutes, that being a minute and
a half less time than he has ever been matched before. The time
and place of performance is to be named in a week, when the mo-
ney is to be deposited, and proper umpires appointed. Billy's feats
have been repeatedly recorded. He has performed ten celebrated
feats, and all against time ; in each he won with ease, and the sums
pending have been immense. The last time he accomplished his
task in seven minutes, when his supporters presented him with an
elegant silver collar, upon which was engraved kis name and won-
derful exploits: his master was also made a present of an elegant
silk dress, handsomely embroidered and bound with gold lace; the
waistcoat is covered with a profusion of emblematical devices,
shewing the rats in various shapes and forms in the pit, endeavour-
ing to avoid their destroyers.
