ings for Shews and Interludes during Bartholomew Fair, which
was referred to the Committee of City Lands.

of Cheapside, praying the removal of the Stand of Coaches there,
and referred to the Committee for general purposes.

tepee to inquire into the practice of summoning Juries for the
Csrpn►t's Inquest on panics who die in St. Bartholomew's Hospital,

Juries, that the Coroner should direct them to be summoned out of '
the adjoining Wards alternately, which was agreed to.

tributing 3001. for an improvement near Southwark Bridge, by
laying some ground into the street there.

City's Dues of Groundage on Colliers and Waterballiage on Coals,

Sweepstakes of 100 soy. each. A. F.
This race was looked up to u one of great importance, in conse-
quence of Rufus, the celebrated crack horse of last year, for the
Derby Stakes, and Faunae!, the winner of the 2000 guineas Stakes
also of last year, having to run against each other in it, and a great
deal of money was pending on the result. Comedian, the light
weight, came off at score, and continued in front, as aril as he
could split, till near the bushes, when Rufus and Enamel gut up to
him. A nuist desperate struggle commenced between these two,
without either 11..ving any apparent advantage till they were close
upon home, when Enamel by degrees got a little ground of him,
and when they passed the post he was pronounced to have beaten
Rufus by a length, Comedian being the urns distance behind Rufus,
and bringing ha the rear of an. of the most beautiful races of the
week. Rufus proved himself to be a true and honest horse, al-
though overpowered in speed.
