SIXTH DAY-WEDNESDAY.
_..

This great coursing match terminated to-;lay. The place of
meeting was Croptons, near Churchtowm about two miles from
Southport. The day was unfavOuralne in consequence of ram.
Although the list was light, few hares could be found. The first
run wars between Rocket and Smuggler. Rocket took the lead
at starting. Smuggler came np and w:enched his bare severa,
tones; after a tolerably frond run, it was decried a " Nu go."
The' next run was a li)e between Sultan and Norwood, on
which a stake of ER/ was depending. Sultan took the lead, and
Kew it for some tune, when Norwood went by and won. Ihe
next was between Rocket and Smuggler. Rocket took the lead,
and kept it generally throughout; a good course, did al; the
work, and won cleverly. Upwards of two flouts elapsed ere the
next ton took place; a considerable extent of land wasimeateki,
but no game turned•up. At length a fine hare'was started, and
the dogs went off in gallant style. Rocket appeared to take
the lead for some time, but Sultan made one or two go-byes
upon him and turned his hare; and after a most excellent run,
the latter won in splendid style. Thus the great Lancashire
:coursing match, to which the best dogs in the kingdom were
brought, was decided in favour of one from Preston. Rocket
must stand in high farouri for he has proved himself an excel:,
lent dog.. When it is borne in mind that he has run upwards of
twenty races during the past and present week, here an,l at
Ahear, and that he is upwards of six years of age, little or no
surprise can exist at his defeat. Little or no betting took place
on the ground; but what was done was chiefly on Rocket, and
Sultan—slight odds given for the choice.
Mr. Bennett's Rocket, beat Mr. Swainson's Smuggler.
Clayton's Sultan, a bye.
The second tie ended thus:—
Mr. Clayton's Sultan, beat Mr. Bennett's Rocket.
Hares were never known to run so well, and every dog had a
fair trial. The judge, Mr. W. Nightingale, of Craven, de-
cided the courses, and give universal satisfaction. The lords
of the teapective insnurs afforded every possible facility and
assistance to the club, and have used every exertion in pro-
moting•the sport. Win. Scaife acted as slipper.
Sultan is brother of Empress, out of Clio, by Tramp, and is
about two years old.
The following is the number of hares that have been killed
during time week:—

FooT R A CE.— On Mond. y morning, previous to the coursing
commeucing, a fOA-race took place on the sea-wall at t;unth-

"THE PAY AFTER THE Fmn."--A most capital joke fell
out here on Thursday. A in. ruing of church rate payers was
called at ten. The Hails. of.touise, must needs avail themselves
of what they thought would prove an opportunity of an mi) ing
the church. and accordingly they hired the bellman to ring fir
recruits; but malice often circumvents and so in this
case it happened, that the Lancaster ltaiticals mistook the ap-
pointed hour. 'Ile), bade their treiii,s assemhie at twelve—and
stile enough at that time they vreieuh:)- assembled in the church-
yard, just one hour and a half after the meeting Lai cone:f.dtd !
