Great Trotting Match.

Yesterday afternoon was decided, on
the Jamaica turnpike, trotting match.
which excited more interest in the sport
ing world here, than perhaps, ever was
witnessed in this part of the county,
A horse from Boston by the name of the
Bostoa Rat, 50 called from his diminu-
tive size and Appearance, was brought
on to bid challenge to any horse that
could be produced, to trot three miles
and carry $50 weight; one hundred
d liars was offered for bet of five hun
dred. At length the bet was accepted by
Mr. Butler. the owner of the noted sorrel
gelding Defiance, and Tuesday afternoon
was the time fixed upon to decide the
match. Sam Purdy rode Defiance, car
rying so lbs dead weight and a rider,
that was well acquainted with the powers
of the Rat: antiI had rode him several win
mag matches, was sent 'or all the way
from Boston, and arrived here last FRI
day.
Public expectation was much excited.
Defiance was known to have performed
the distance in his trials, in s minutes IL
seconds--on the other hand it was secret
ly whispered that the Fat had done it in
minutes Thousands assembled to wit
ness the match aud the road was literal
Iy thronged. Bets at starting 2 to l Of
fered on the Rat and taken. At length
the interesting moment arrived and the
word g So'' was given.
Defiance took the lead and went off in
his customary style, proudly carrying
both Head and tail loftl|y in the air. Pur-
dy TODD almost upright i'll the stirrups,
pulling hard and st eadiiy. and making
j udiciOus applications OF the whip and
spur.--Poor Rat at length cot under way,
bat all his powers did not enable him
once to come up alongside during the
whole course. Defiance came in quite
fresh, and without having been put to
the top ofhis speed, about $50 yards "a
head, amidst the mingled shouts and
groans of the uunumbered crowd. Tine
9 minutes secones.-Ev. Post.

Dariny the last week, the inhabitants
of this city were amused with the ex-
traordinary circumstances of flocks of
wild pigeons flying along the streets aud
alighting in the houses, trees, and walls
within the town. They came from the
Point Levi side, and were all young ones,
hardly able tefy. The opportunity was
tooinviting to the City Sportsmea to be
resisted, not withstanding the regulations
Of police, and as was to be expected from
such marksmen, persons passing in the
streets and highways were hit nearly as
as the pigeons. The consta-
bles at length interlered, and the Chas-
seurs disappeared but it is thought the
pigeons, which did not seem to mind the
Chasseurs, have been terrified at the sight
Of the Censta5les; for they have also dis
