GREAT PIItfORISANCE.—Mt. Hodgkinson's great melee
to produce a horse to trot six miles in twenty minutes for
200 sovereigns, took place yesterday morning over a mile
circle in Ashted Park, Hertfordshire, where there was it
great assemblage of sporting persons. The horse was rode
by a boy of six stone, and was done as follows :
MIN. SEC. • MIN. SEC.
First mile was done in 920 Fifth mile wasdone in 3 21
Second ditto ...... 0 Sixth ditto 3 17
Third ditto 3 IS
Fourth ditto..:. 3'21 19 49
The boy reds the horse with a loose rein, and he never
made a break.—Six to four on the horse.
The story, copied from the Bath and Cheltenham Gazettes
of Mrs. Fry, having interferred to preventthe battle between
Spring and Neste, is stated in a paper of this morning, by
Mr. Fry, the Lady's husband, to be totally untrue.
Flees COURT.—Tom Shelton took his benefit at this
place yesterday, and the Court overflowed at an early lima.
The attention of the day was to get a peep at Spring, who
had been previously advertised to show upon this occasion.
The sets-to in general were nob-ish ; and both head-trork
and handy touches were all the yo ! The White-headed
Boy and Spencer were up to each other; Randall and Scrog-
ginsfly to all the movements of this board ; and Belcher and
Shelton proved themselves to be downy ones ; This set-to
was by tar better to look at than the recent great eight at
Iliockley DOWIIS. It was fine science united with severe
milling on botli sides. Shelton, by a well-timed hit wider
the ear, floored the great Master of the Art of Sparring is a
twinkling. "Oh, oh !" says Belcher, " I understand you
now. Good-night to light play ! But I'll soon be with you,
never fear !" 'Foe attitudes of both the men were pictures
for an Artist. Beleher's one two had the desired effect ;he
also put in some cobbers ; and, ultimately finished the round
decidedly in his favour. Shelton bowed as a signal to take
off the gloves. " No, no !" from the spe Attars, "It is ton rood
to put an end to it yet ; we must have another round !" This
request was complied with ; and the addition., rimed prov-
ed-quite a treat. Be!clier never showed off in finer vsle
and Shelton's good knowledge of fighting proved him a ri-
val of no mean stamp. Belcher, however, determined sot
to remain long its debt with hislriensl Shelton, he therefore
went to work, and not only paid off the principal. but he
discharged thefarour he had race:vett with interest. They
both retired from the-stage amidst thunders of applause.—
The general cry now was, " Spring I Spring !" The litter
here, modestly bearine Lis " blushing hooeurs" th'ce upon
him, ascended the stage. lie was cheered from 111 pars of
the Court ; when Spring addressed the Amateuts in the fol-
lowing words:—" Octet men, I return you my sincere
thanks for the honour you have done We to-clay ;en 1 1 hope
my future conduct will equady merit your kind at station. I
promised to set-to with Shelton ; but having met with an se-
cident (his band was tiod up with a handkerchief),l trust yes
will excuse me ;st all other times you will fin 4 me willing
and reedy to obey your cosuleands." SW It sn returnee
thanks ; and Belceer likewise informed the audience t tat lid
benefit takes place on Tuesday next, when Neate would be
present, in order to convince the Amateurs that his arm en
broken in the fight on Tuesday lest. Spring received from
Mr. Jackson the 2001. of the battle money as the revere of
victory. Mr.J. also publicly declared, for the satisfaction
of the Spurting World, that In campany with two eminect
surgeons, he bad seen Neste, and the above two Gentlemen
of the Faculty had pronounced the small hone of his arcs is
have been broken. Nolte stall remains at Andover ; but be
Is expected in town on Sunday next.
