TROTTING.
The two trotting matches fdr 100 sovereigns each, took place on
Monday, at Ashford, over a two mile piece of ground. The first
was between Mr. Bland's roan mare Violet. and Captain Hius's
Lancashire horse; ten miles. Betting was five to four as the mare,
who trotted first, and she did the ground in 39 min. 48 sec. The
bone started immediately afterwards, and completed the ten miles
in 40 min. 11 sec. It was considered by the eagisesceisti that the
horse must have woo the match ; but, being too fast for his works
he broke from his trot in the first and last miles, and the rider was
in consequence obliged to turn him round, by which he lost nearly
three minutes.—The second match warier the 'Lanford mare to
trot eight miles and a half in half an hour, and carry lust. The
mare started in good style, but lost the match, taking 30 min. 10
sm. to do the ground in, owing to breaking from the trot in the
first two miles,
