The Quetta and Princesses again honoured the
Course with their presence, and, atter taking the usual
repast, returned to Windsor before the Plate was run
for. His Royal Highness the Duke ot GLoucesrza,
as Steward, took particular care of the regularity of
the day's sport. 'rhe company were very numerous,
and the excellence of the sport made ample amends
for the preceding day's deficiency.
Three persons were taken into custody for passing
bad silver, and two boys for picking pockets opposite
the Royal Stand received a severe ducking.

at his Shooting Lodge in Mar Forest. The party coosisttd of
General DUFF, Sir Joittr Hope, Mr. HIATHCOrt, Mr. H.

roux. Notwithstanding the unlavourable ►tate of the weather,
it having rained almost incessantly, the limt of slaughter during
the hest week, beside► red deer, roes and putt magan, amounted
to eight hundred and twenty-one brace of grouse! a number, we
believe, unparalleled io the alillah of sporting.

PEDES FRIANISM.
A German, named Witid.tadt, undertook to run a mile in five
minutes and ten seconds yesterday, on the Kisburn road, and he
accomplished the task in two seconds under the live minutes.

Hester Crozar, a woman about five feet four inches high, and
thirty-eight years of age,lately walked from St. Audrey!** Church,
Holborn, to the twenty-nine mile stone at ebnlntstord, and hick,

tkd, to perform seventy antes within the day.

. PUGILISM.
The match between 'graham Mlles, the Hereford.

feet ring, at Eireley Heath, on the borders of Oaks
and H411;1. The men were backed for thirty giiiimaS

player, seconded Willet, *An weighed 12st. 81b. his
antagonist, who had a superiority in tactics, was a
pound under 12st. Twenty-seven rounds were fought
in fitty.sis minutes, when both had what the seLool-
boys call a belly-lull. We give such of the rcunds
as were best contested :
Reinid I. Willa hit out with his right hand at the head, and
was parried partially, but rather avoided by throwing the head
back. A rally followed, in which Willet, from weight, had the
best. Both bled freely, and they went down together in closing.
Willet nude bit hit iu this round with much force upon the
left ogle of his antagonist, *Licit nearly darkened it. Granger, I

A few sons of Caledonia, visitors at Brighton, are
establishing a Golt Club. The Downs in the neigh-
bourhood are admiraNy adapted for this elegant,
cheerful, and healthy amusement; chalk-pits, and
various other interruptions, sufficiently exercise the
science of the players, while the salubrity of the air,
extensive sea-view, and refreshing breezes, add greatly
to the pleasure of the game. In Scotland Golf is the
national Bane: • Gentlemen of that country, to the
latest periods of life, continue to play. 'Me exercise
it of all others most conducive to health and longe•
vity ; it. is not too severe, and is necessarily perform-
ed in the open air. cpnversatioo is enlivened, not
interrop.ted .by the gjme.
