From the New York Spirit Of the Times
America VS.. England.

| Now that a match is talked of between Ameri-
can and English horses, we have thought that a
reference to some of the best races run in Eng
land during the past five years, might not only be
interesting, but useful to many of our readers.
Many gentlemen suppose that MIR. Ten BROCK
can win four mile race like rolling off log
perhaps he can, and will, but il is not commenda-
bic to be too sanguine when betting on such re-
suit. Some already have offered 10 to l, while
others, more judiciOus, are willing to accept an
even bet-nothng more.
Reference has frequently been made in our col
umns; By HObserVer," {" Investigator" and 9TH
er correspondents to the fastest races in England

selves to such as have been officially timed and
