The Heath was honoured with the Royal presence
yesterday, as it bad alert been on the first day of the
At about one o'clock his Majesty arrived, eel
upon eateries the Royal Booth, he immediately pre.
sented himself at the window, sad was greeted with a
cheer from the spectators below. He was dressed in
a plain blue coat and black stock, without star or or-
namemt et say description. ilia Majesty was arenas
palsied by the Ddke of York, the Prince ups Princess
Esterbsay, the Doke of Dorset, and most of the other
Noblemen and Ledies who composed the Royal party
on Tuesday. The other company was considerably
more numerous than on the day preceding ; and the
weather, owing to a pl t breeze, and the eon's
being occasionally screened by clouds, rendered this
amusement more agreeable than on either of the other
days.—The King left the ground immediately after
the commencement of the Colt race (the third in the
list) for his Cottage in Windsor Great Park, when he
entertains a large party at dinner to-day. The French
Ambassador, and many other persons of distinction, ar-
rived from London at the Cottage in the course of the
dry, to be present at the dinner party.
Oa Thursday last, at Rye, in Sussex, a feat nee
was run between Edward Rayner, the Kentish pedes-
trian, and James Betteridge, the Berkshire runner, who
was matched to run ten miles ever a one mile piece of
ground, for a purse of ten guineas. They started about
six o'clock in the evening, in tun speed, in the p co
of a great number of spectators, amidst the chants of
" Berkshire for ever." The first mile was run in five
minutes anti twentrfive seconds; Betteridge about tea
yards behind, and betting 3t02 on Rayner. The neat
mile was run In five minutes and thirty•two seconds,
Betteridge the above distance behind. Ile third mile
was run in five minutes and twenty-fenr seconds, Rap
ner 12 yards behind. The fourth mile Rayner was 20
yards behind, and 5t03 on Betteridp. Vie first five
miles was run by Betteridge ID 27 minutes, Rayner 100
yards behind, when he broke down, i n great perspiration.
iletteridge went on and completed the ten miles in one
boar aml thirty seconds. Tl3ll parse was delivered to
Betteridge, at the lieorge Inn, Rye, by the Chairman,
in the presence of 100 gay sportsmen, amidst three load
cheers. A subscription was immediately entered into,
and parted between the winner and loser. Rayner ac-
knowledged that he lost against his will ; and that Bet-
teridge was the best rimer that beim! ever started with.
