Srentie (east —The great match between Captain
Forrester and Major James, took place yesterday , from
Colebrook to Farnham. The Major, in crossing Lord
Bravbrooke's park, met with an unlucky accident and
broke his collar bone, and was beat in an instant. His
nephew (Capt. James) challenged Mr. Forrester to ride
him 21) miles for two thousand guineas, play or pay.—
The match was ac slated, to be done ones within a month.
Captain Forrester is matched at ¢ to 4.
Hoax RXTIAORDISAUT.—OiThersday last several per-
sons in Chichester received notes, purporting to come from
Goodwood-howl% with orders to attend his Grace the Date
of Richmond, at half-past ten o'clock, among whom were
Mr. Dieter, architect, Mr. Faller, surveyor, Mr. Bernell,
surgeon, sad the Collector of the Customs, I. Powell, Esq.
who was informed that Ms Grace had interrupted a large
party of smugglers, and of they were well armed, the col-
lector was further ordered to provide soldiers, whose appear-
ance in the Park caused some alarm. It is needless to say
that the whole was the work of some would-be witty knave.
We think this species of hoaxing beneath any but the weak-'
est mind, as it is not to be suspected that any one would, for
a moment, hesitate to attend a gammons supposed to ema-
nate from seeh a quarter. It may be allowable *um exer-
cised on some characters, bet we certainly think that this
amiable nobleman ought to have been the last on whom
such a very contemptible trick should have been played of.
