BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Om 23.
The attendance of betting men yesterday, wasmuch more nume-
rous than we hate had occasion to notice for many weeks. To.
wards the close of the room, the betting became brisk, and the
effect of the running of the 4-yr olds at Newmarket last week, was
obvious. The Duke of York's Belvohina, filly, who won the
Prendergast on Friday, being made first favourite for the Oaks,
and Trumpeter being brought up for the Derby—for which Web
is decidedly the first favourite. Forth's filly is second for the Oaks,
and Nivalis was backed freely for the St. Leger, =e5,000 to XlOll
being taken seven times. The odds left off thus :

The two Matches, for 10Q sovereigns each, took place on Chelan*.
ford Race Course on Saturday, much to the satisfaction of some
frequenters of the turf then present. The first was for Mr. God-
frey's Bacchanal, to trot against Captain Willtnot's Virgin, eight
miles; and the second for Mr. Dixon's Lancashire mare, to trot
sixteen miles in one hour. In the first match the horses carried
eleven stone each, and the second feather weight, namely Gst. 121 b.
The mares were the favourites, at trifling odds. The horses trotted
together—Bacchanal in 30 minutes and 10 seconds, and Virgin in
31 minutes and 28 seconds. The other mare started and performed
the sixteen miles in good style and without much trouble, three
minutes under the hour. At the conclusion of the above matches
Mr.Gamhaston undertook to trot his Chelsea mare one mile in three
minutes and eight seconds, for fifty sovereigns, over a part of the
same ground. The match was lost, as the mare was fifty yards from
home when the time had expired.

Captain Bullock undertook yesterday, to trot his mare (Peggy)
nine miles in thirty-two minutes, over a mile circle, near Epping,
for a stake of two hundred sovereigns. The mare was new to the
Sporting World ; and, consequently, excited great interest. Great
sums were pending on it, and the distance was performed in thirty-
one minutes and thirty-seven seconds.
The Match was won without once breaking from the trot,'and
apparently without much labour.
SHOOTING MATCH.
The match at game shooting,-for 20 sovereigns each, between
Messrs. Allwell, Burgess, and Phillips, took place on Saturday.—
The terms of the match were, to commence at eight o'clock, and
shoot until two. Mr. AllweU began at Stoke Bucks, and bagged
[ as follows: four brace of partridges, six brace of pheasants, and
seven hares; total, twenty-seven head, in thirty shots. Mr. Bur-
gess shot from Esher, round the enclosures towards Walton, and
he killed three and a half brace of birds, six brace of pheasants,
and six hares; total twenty-five head in twenty-seven shots.—
Mr. Phillips shot eastward from Cobham, and killed five brace of
partridges, six of pheasants, and three hares • total, twe.pty-five in
twenty-nine shots. Mr. Allwell was declared the winner by two.
PEDESTRIANISM.
Mr. Abernethy, the great pedestrian, has, at length, after many
successful undertakings, over-matched himself. He started on
Friday, at one o'clock, from Sloane-street, to go to the one hun-
dred and thirteenth mile-stone on the F.xeter-road, and return in
seventy-two hours, the distance being two hundred and twenty-five
miles, taking off the distance front the start at Sloane-street. It
was for fifty sovereigns. He performed seventy-six miles the Bra
twenty-four boars, at eleven o'clock on Saturday ; on Sunday, he
did seventy-five miles • and, after halting two hours, be started
eight miles on the London side of Salisbury, to perform his last
day's work of seventy-four miles. Be resigned at Hartley-row
thirty-six miles from his destination, beat by the elements; be pro-
ceeded on at another trial, but nature failed him, and he came in
by one of the morning coaches.

WRESTLING.
The great match between Cann and Polkinghons, which excites
so much interest in the counties of Devon and Cornwall, and indeed
in the metropolis, took place yesterday. The spot chosen for the
seat of contest is admirably calcelated for the purpose, being a large
green surrounded by high Walls, at New Passage, Devonport ; the
proprietor of which (Mr. Pawlby) has erected seats capable of
accommodating 10,000 persons. The ground was 400 feet by 110,
and a Surveyor appointed to see that the seats were secure. Police
officers were in attendance to keep order, and refreshments of every
kind were provided an the spot. After the match for the Cham-
pionship was decided, fifty sovereigns were to be played for by
twelve of the best wrestlers that could be selected on the spot from
each county, so that the admirers of this sport expected it to prove
the greatest treat that had been witnessed in either county for
many years.
