Sporting IateHigence.-A long expected match
between Duroc aud Bugler is thus noticed IN two
Of the Kingston. Upper Canada. papers.
"The long expected race between MIR. Maho-
ney's horse Bugler and the American horse Du-
roc. was this day decided on the Kingston Race
Course, between the hours of one and two o'clock,
in favor of Bugler, who beat Duroc the first heat
BY several rods, when the latter was Withdrawn.
At starting. all odds in betting were In favor OF
Duroc. Many Americans came over purposely
TO witness the race. We understand thereE to
be more racing. as several horses, we are told,
have arrived from the States. Pat.
"Agreeably TO expectation, the race between
BugIer and Duroc took place yesterday. The
horses, which were both in fine condition, start
ed at about twenty minutes before two O'Clock,
and better contested heat. three miles, we never
witnessed. On passing the stand the three first
times Duroc led Bugler about neck, but the
fourth time the latter was ahead at least three
lengths. Dlroc's rider, after completing the
third round. checked his horse, thinking proba-
bly, that the distance had been performed, while
Bugler kept steady on and came in as above stat
ed. The time allowed between the heats was
thirty minutes, and at the expiration of that pc
Rod Duroc was not at the starting post, so Buger
galloped round the course and won the race
We believe the decision of the Stewards. two of
whom were American gentlemen, was perfectly sa-
tisfactorv, though the lovers of good sport could
avoid expressing regret that the race termina-
ted without affording more unequiVoCal proof
Of the respective merits of the two noble ami
