DO NC ASTE R-FIUDAT.
Upwards of 100 horses are already at our racing stables. The
favourite for the St. Leger, Swap, arrived here yesterday, in
fine condition. The great interest this horse excites among the
sporting Gentlemen may be judged by the crowds assembled to
witness his arrival. Numbers had been waiting the whole morn-
ing, several miles on the road, who closely followed him into
the town, scrutinizing his every motion with the most intense
anxiety. The latest betting was as follows:
9 to 4 apt Swap 6 to 1 apt Mandane filly
10 to 1 apt Louisa 6 to 5 field agst any two
11 to 2 apt Ajax 1000 to 5 apt Mr. Clark's
15 to 1 apt any other Lumley (taken)

HORSES.
A great change has taken place in the fashion of horses. I.lnts
lately, nothing under 10 hands was thought of for the chacei
but the buyers at the late fairs in Lancashire and Yorkshire
would not look at anything above fifteen hands and an inch, or
thereabouts. Black horses have also fallen into discredit. Greys.
and brown bays are the favourite colours. Of the former an
iron grey has the decided preference, and rates 10 per cent. above
any other colour.

After the running for the Gold Cup at Preston on Thursday,
S to 2 was offered against Swap, and no takers ; Jack Spiggot,
the winner of the St. Leger last year, having been the trial
horse against Swap.

BOXER&

Want and alikot are matched for .50 sovereign!, to fight On the
22d of October, and it is said that the friends of Barlow are so
game and confident of his capabilities as to back him against
Ward for 100 sovereigns a-side, on the day that RandaU and
Martin fight. Ward, therefore, has plenty of work cut out.
Josh. Hudson, Shelton, and Gas. —Josh. on Friday evening last,
at Reicher'', challenged Hickman, for 100 sovereigns a-side ;
but the latter declined it. Shelton was also refused by Gas.
Hickman observed, "he would not fight any man for less than
£5OO a-side ; but he would take £l,OOO to £5OO that he beat
Shelton with the gloves, and Shelton should have the advantage
of his bare fillet ! " Hudson said, "he had never refused any
man, countryman, swell, by-commoner, or lust-rate boxer;
and he likewise had never been nice about the sum ; and when
boxers talked about £5OO a-side they did not mean fighting."—
Hickman replied, " he would back himself for £5OO or £lOOO,
and not ask any man for a shilling." —Here the matter rests.

PEDESTRIANISM.

A curious foot-race took place at Sbelfanger, on D4onday List;
between two giddy youths, whose united ages amounted to 153
years—it was a ece,U-couregcl racr, and was won by the eldest,
but not without considerable difficulty !
