SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The beautiful village of Lyndhurst, and the surrounding Cot-
tages Ornee, are filling fast with Gentlemen, who intend hunt-
ing during the month of April with the New Forest fox-hounds,
which are esteemed the best hunters, and, altogether, nearly the
finest pack of hounds in England.

BOXING.

CARUHLR, MARCH 31.—Geo. Irving, of Moss-band, and .Toka
Lamb, shoemaker, of Longtown, were the heroes of a mid,
for two guineas aside. The fight took place on Thursday, at
Sarkfoot, near the place rendered classical by Oliver and Car-
ter some time since. It Was real Woolsey Hurst milling, the
bank lasting one hour and ten minutes, during which 49 mune.:
took place. After the first three, it was all Botchergate to a
chandler's shop in favour of Irving, but Lamb was not sheepish ;
although a bad giver, he was an eacellent taker : his receptions
were in grand style; he got his nob in chancery once or twice,
but he bore it very well, and although he was sot able to Jib so
well as his opponent, he refused to lie unnecessarily. In the
course of the fight, he had got more in his bread-basket than he
could hold, hence the knowing ones were obliged to convey him
home by holding him on horseback.

MATCH TO RUN AND RIDE TWENTY-SEVEN
MILES IN TWO HOURS. •
This sh.gular match, made by a Gentleman named Panskre,
for 100 guineas, was decided on Monday, on the Basingstoke
and Andover road, and it afforded much sport. Mr. Paosarr
had backed himself to do eight miles within the hour on foot,
over a two-mile piece of ground, which he accomplished as fol-1
lows;—First two miles in 13 min. 50 sec.—Second ditto, in 13
min. 00 sec.—Third ditto, in 14 min. 10 sec.—Fourth ditto, 15
min. 10 sec. completing it In 56 min. 7.o'sec.—Thus the pedes-
trian accomplished nearly half a mile over the eight miles before
he mounted a fine blood mare, and rode over a piece of ground
of four miles and a half, with room to turn at each end. lie
did ten miles in thirty-four minutes, keeping his male upon the
fret to go on. He had rather more than eight miles and a half
to do in the next twenty-six minutes, and he accomplished it
cleverly three minutes within time, and won a good extra stake.
