Alai, that he finds a man to hop 70 yards in W succeodvettops;
the man to perform this task in common wooden clogs, whit% a

THE CANINE FANCY.

Tuesday the Westminster Pit was crowded' by a numerous
assemblage of the Fancy, to wkneu some excellent matches which
were to take place. The first match was between two dogs of
361 b. weight, the property of some sporting Gentleman; and per-
haps dirgs of Ines game were never before in the Pit. The bght
lasted three-quarters of an hour, and the winner was offered to be
backed against any dog of his weight for SO sou. The second
'match was between two dogs of 331 b. each, which afforded infinite
*post, and lasted about the same time; after which the celebrated
Dog Billy, although, nearly twelve years old, went through his
usual performance of killing 100 rats in a limited time, to the sur-
prise of every one. The number of rats Billy has now destroyed,
In his various matches, is about 4000. The next sport was a draw-
ing match at the box, when several list rate dogs exhibited, but a
mouse-coloured bitch surpassed any that we have seen for some
' time, as the drew the badger no less than 20 times in 8 minutes.
The sports concluded with a bear bait, in which three of the first
rate bull dogs excited the admiration of the company, from the real
game which they displayed. Several of the first rate sportbg men
were present, and all declared themselves highly delighted with the
sports of the day.
