Sir CHARLESBUNBURY, it is said, haewon £20,000
from three Dukes by one bet, on his celebrated colt,
Smolensk°, now only rising three years old. The bet
was, that he would win, in the present year, the- three
matches, v iz.—lst, the 2000 gs. Stakes at Newmarket
First Spring Meeting, on Tuesday, May 4;-2d, the
renewal of the Newmarket Stakes of 50gs. each, at
the same Meeting, on Wednesday, May 5 ;—aod 3d,
the Derby Stakes at Epsom, on Thursday, the 3d
inst. All these three Matches Smolensk won in fine

style.—ln the first the Judge could place but three.
Twelve started, and seventeen paid forfeit. in the
second the Judge could place but four.—Ten started,
and fourteen paid forfeit. In the last the Judge could
'place but three.—• Twelve started. This achievement
of Smolensk° is, we understand, unprecedented in the
annals of the Turf. No colt of such excellence has
appeared since Eclidtre astonished the sporting world
by his extraordinary pcwers. Smo/ensko is one of the
gentlest animals in the worl.t. Eclipse had not a good
temper.
