GREAT FOOT-RACE

OYER CATTERICK-DRIDGE, YORKSHIRE, SETWEEN MR. WM. JAcTisox A)8

JAMTS METCALFX, Olti MILF., EURVIC lIIINIMEDGUINIAL

This Race excited more interest in ihe Spurting World than any
event for some years in this part of Yorkshire. Jackson was con-
siderably the favourite for some time, until within a few days of the
race, when the odds became six to four in favour of Metcalfe.—
Sonic thousands were depending, independent of the match: wo-
men and children were seen betting from half-a-crown to twenty
ppaands. So great a concourse of people was never seen on the Mace
Course before, amongst which were a number of the most Muhl.
guished Noblemen and sporting characters of the•county. 4C.bloisle
Lord of racing celebrity presided as Judge. The mar-started at
two o'clock. Jackson appeared to be over-trained : Metcalfe
stripped well, and weighed list. Mb. Metcalfe took the lead, and
kept it for 700 yards, beating Jackson by twenty yards. Jackscn
then made play, and got within two strides, when Metcalfe -went
off with extra speed, and Jackson. never could make:ground at all.
Metcalf., won easily. 'lnc tn.:e is heavy•ground, and took consi-
derable time to run it over. The whole hi the Ilttike•MOOkY w1..3
paid over immediately, together with a number of bets. 'Most of
the celebrated runners of the North were on the ground. Crouch,
the trainer of Metcalfe, won 2a. of a blind man at Richmond.

AsaTos AND liwurou.—Tiie great match which tv a; to have takes
place some time ago by these two men, but off by. consent, is
agreed upon, and to be run over Dasica3ter Itace-cour►e the en-
suing month.
