Oxon and Bucks. The turn•up was for 40 guineas, and Granger
was the favourite at 5 and 6 to 4.

the combatants got to a close, and both went down, whiten
mach injury.
2. This round ksted twelve minutes. The men eachanyed
hit fur hit, until the ring was like a slaughter-house, and neither
would go down. They disengaged themselves from three dit

blow on the Adam's apple, which floored him like a shot, and F.

THE GREAT STEEPLE CHASE.

The sporting match between Capt. Marron and Mr. Malta;
for 200 guineas, took place yesterday, from Moons Sorrel roust,
Surrey, to Frimley Covers, a distance of eleveo miles of
dii-
cult country. To make the nearest way, there were many very
perilous leaps, which the horses cleared with their riders in fine
style, and left the greater part of a field of sportsmen whltz
companied them., The competitors kept together to the
Cover, when they separated, and skirted it at opposite angles;
and, at the ridge of hills, three miles from Frimley, the race
became very interesting. It was neck or nothing down the ha,
with leaps of nearly six feet ; but the most interesting pan wan
the leap at a rivulet of 14 feet, which might have been avoided!
by taking a round of a quarter of a mile. Both bones cleared
it in gallant style, and the race came to the speed of the hones
np the hill to the Cover, and Capt. Mastro, wait by 200 yard..
in 34 minutes.
