A great racing match against time, which has excited
extraordinary interest at the Jockey Club in Paris, came
off on Monday.- The Marquis de St. Croix engaged for a
large wager to ride his mare Impetueuse; seven years old,
81 kilometres. (about 54 miles), in three hours and a quar-
ter. . The French say that no such feat was ever accom-
plished, either in England or the United States. The
ground chosen was from the Barriere de l'Etoile to Chan-
tilly and liack At five o'clock on morning, the
marquis started, and in spite of the early hour and the
incessant rain, the road was lined by a considerable num-
ber of spectators. The government couutenanced the
almost novel sport, by stationing gendarmes to keep the
ground. Although the roads were very heavy, Impetu-
euse arrived at Chantilly five minutes within the time
calculated in her itinerary, and she got back to the Bar-
riere de l'Etoile ,W excellent time, and in good condition,
But, unfortunately, half a mile was wanting to make up
the -distance, and this had been measured along the Chemin
de la Revolts, alonz which she had just come. When she
got as far as the Duke of Orleans monument, the mare
began to think she was expected to go back to Chantilly
again. She laid her ears back, and turned sulky. This
very excusable ebullition of temper cost her master the
wager. Impetuense reached the winning post 30 "seconds
too late. The achievement was, however, substantially
accomplished ; and the Marquis de St. Croix, it is said, has
backed her to do the distance again, within the time, over
a better chosen course.

On the 15th inst., at Ury, in his 75th
"year, Captain
Barclay. The Aberdeen Herald says
w:-The
left Sco captaint-
used to say that he was a delicate boy hen he
land ; but, if so, he must have improved rapidly on the
English pasture, for, at the age of fifteen, we find him
gaining a match for 100 guineas for walking six miles
an hour, fair toe and heel.' He showed soon afterwards
that it was but the beginning of a career which made him
the most famous pedestrian of theearly part of the century,
and which, we believe, has neveryet, in some points, been
equalled. His matches were numerous, and almost all
successfully performed ; but his ordinary walks on matters
of business, or for recreation, or fun, were equally sur-
prising. When he had a day's hunting before him at a dis-
tance of thirty or forty miles, it was quite usual with him
to walk to the place of meeting in the morning, and walk
home again in the evening. But his grand feat, of course,
was his celebrated walk of 1,000 miles in 1,000 consecutive
hours. The captain could lift hara ton from the ground,
set an eighteen stone man on the table with one hand,
and knock down an insolent 'bully as easily as a butcher
fells an ox,"
