The first heat was won easily by Harkaway, but bis rider pulled 
him in before lie came to the saddling ring, and the horse swerved to 
,vhnt lie considered his stable, and. In doing so, threw his rider over 
his head, running against a policeman whom lie unhorsed. A fair 
revenge for a publican's horse against his enemies. Jupiter was well 
up throughout the heat, and landed In a good position The Lady of 
the Lake went In front at starting, but the distance was too much 
for her. The piCo was tho quickest wo ever recollect to have

Saturday, December 31st, 1853. 
As tho ontlre number of tho advertised races had “come off," tho 
Stewards wero not in attendance, which however lost them a good 
day’s sport, and certainly more amusement than existed on tho prior

and private, lately erected in this rising capital of the colonv, we hat 
here extracted from tho “Melbourne Argus" a notice of orio recent

for storing 150 tons of li&y, besides storage for goods, and space 5 
various offices, which we shall describe. The premises have a frontnf 
on Lonsdnle-strect of sixty-six feet, which is covered by a lavi 
brick building three stories high and forty-four feet buck. Under ii 
a lofty archway, which is designed for the principal entrance to tl 
Bazaar. The building contains twenty-four rooms, besides suitab 
apartments for offices, servants, tfte. It is designed to bean hotel i

A DESPATCH FROM AUSTRALIA. 
Continued from p. 202. 
(From onr own Correspondent.) 
Our annual race meeting camo off on tho 28th, 20th, SOtli, and 31st of 
December (tho last a supplementary day), and considering that the 
course ns well ns the colony was 1 G years ago a wilderness of scrub 
and gum trees, where kangaroos, emus, niul black men were the sole 
competitors, ihc sport was excellent. The long dry grass about tho 
course taking fire three different times, and tho reckless rushing about 
of a couple of thousand wild horsemen from the bush, raising clouds 
of dust, making drab the fashionable and prevailing colour, corrobo- 
rating tho well-known maxim that flesh is dust, nml converting your 
humble servant Into a “Literary Dustman, ’’ were tho only annoyances 
to which the covers of racing were subjected ; all else was fair and serene. 
The “cattle" wero brought to the post in perfect condition; the Jocks 
rodo, If not with tho calculation of n Chifncy, the finesse of a Robinson, 
or tho judgment of a Flatman, nt least in a very sternly nml plucky 
manner. The events, which were generally closely contested, camo off 
ns follows— (for details of Racing, to be abbreviated au (tiscrStlon sco 
the newspaper fragments enclosed.)" 
j The return of Mr. Vausitturt from England by the Australian on the 
27th lilt., with a blood stallion and ninro, and a Lincolnshire Huntress, 
was bailed by the spoilsmen of the colony with great delight, as It will 
afford them — apart from the pleasure of this worthy sportsman's co- 
operation In the advancement of the Turf— a new strain, which I 
believe was much wanted. Mr. VunsUtart was so unfortunate as to 
loose three valuable horses on the passage, wo believe through the 
faulty construction of tho steamer's horse-boxes. 
A pigeon match for n handsome silver cup was shot off nt 
the Kangaroo Inn, on the Gth of. December, 14 members at 6 
birds each, Mr. Longstaff, a “new chum," astonished tho weak 
nerves of the old dwellers in South Australia, by killing his 
allotted number In first rate style. Ho then tossed up a wad and blew 
it to atoms, saying “ There you colonial muffs, that’s the way to shoot; 
now I'll lay 5 to 1 that I do the same with a fourpenny bit," the colo- 
nists opened their eyes and mouths to the fullest extent practicable, 
but, we think, wisely kept their purse pockets closely buttoned. 
The stout cricketers of this province have been exerting themselves 
In a most laudable manner during the last two months, and much glory 
and honour has been won and lost, the matches nre so numerous, 
that without venturing to enter into any details of fine und brilliant 
play, I will, without further preamble, give you a simple chrono- 
logical detail of them. [Sco “Cricket" in “Tnc Field" 
While touching on Cricket, 1 must remark for the benefit 
of the Dukes, Ducks, Cnldccourts, and Pages of London, that 
a few bats— better for having been spliced— some balls made of the 
darkest red leather, and dyed quite through, for the purposo of afford- 
ing a more forcible contrast to our brown mid dusty herbage — for 
with the present balls after playing once with a new one, it is exactly 
the same as If nt home youpluyed with a green ball, and consequently, 
nearly impossible to get a sight of It— sonic lancowood stumps, India- 
rubber and wleket-kecping gloves, and a lot of spikes, would command 
n good sale, ns cricket is becoming very fashionable, and when .Sher- 
man— who I believe is on his way— arrives, there is a lovely piece of 
ground in the Fork lauds, half a mile square, and us level ns a billiard 
table, which tho City Corporation would grunt, nnd which I liuve no 
doubt he would find a profitable speculation to turn Into n South 
Australian oval.

the Colhor. stone colt did not go for tho Wlillllnbury Stakes in 
r ' ftsequeneo of a resolution of the Jockey Club, that no 
horse Imd a right to go anywhere (ns It did to Doncaster) 
expressly for u defeat in order to claim an allowance. 
Mendicant has had a roll to Bon John, und Ellen Middleton a 
filly 1" l’yrrhus tho First. Gain Inis hud a bay colt to Sur- 
plice, and goes lo I lying Dutchman ; and Fair I.oulsa has had

Magazine says, “ He was at first under Ho'oUino’s euro nt 
Hnmbloton, wheroho mot with nn accident In tho navicular 
bone of the foot ; and It was thought ho would never bo ulilo to 
run again. Ho was, however, tukon homo to Mr. Robinson's 
place, Carnaby, near Bridlington, nml gradually brought 
round again. His subsequent ‘ propurutlons,' If such (hoy 
can ho called, wero comploted under very disadvantageous 
circumstances — tho horse galloping In small paddocks, and 
figuring altogether as quite a ‘ home-made’ rnco-horso.” Ho 
started 18 times and won 0, scoring .£7,255. Mr. R. 15. Davis, 
the celebrated anitnnl painter, died lately at an advanced 
age. Several very good sporting subjects liavo come from 
his easel, uml lie made some excellent “studies" of his 
brother, Mr. Charles Davis, tho Royal Huntsman. Wo only 
remember the King of Oude ns a very gigantic horse, with 
such lop cars that they positively required a peculiar sort of 
hood to support them. However, we find that ho is tho sub- 
ject of the following daring challenge, which wc oxtrnct from 
the Northampton Herald. It runs us follows — “S. Dickina 
will wager the sum of £50 with any man tliut be cannot pro- 
duce from the county of Northampton, or nny of the counties 
adjoining, 11 thorough-limi sire as big, on ns short logs, with 
as much strength and good blond, und Inis proved itself as 
good a nice-horso ns the King of Oude. If nny one likes to 
accept this challenge, they cun do so by placing £'25 in lho 
hands of Mr. William Ward, tho lumllord of the Kuce-hoise 
Inn, Northampton,” &c. This seems » safe offer, us tho 
words " as big," must excludo nearly everything from the 
competition, unless t he oightccn-huml Magog is still on the 
Radford estate. Mr. FergtisunV thorough-bred horse Itavon-

SPORTING MISCELLANEOUS. 
Tub Haul of Chestebpi bld. — T ho double achieve- 
ments of (lie Karl of Cheaterfi'dd, on the turf and in the 
hunting-field, seem fully to outllle him to the precedence 
in our gallery of English spoiling worthies'. His lordship 
was born at Brotby, in 1805, and succeeded to his title in 
1815. Like his son, Lord Stanhope, ho wns entered to 
hounds nf a very early ago ; and soon became a first-flight 
\ man. Grant’s picture of the Meet oil Ascot Heath will 
he an enduring record of the spirit with which he supported 
the offico of Master of tho Bnc kliotfpfl s; and the Py tchcley 
Hunt will not easily forget the winter festivities at Aliington 
Abbey, nnd lho rure runs its noble tenant and Will Derry 
used to show them. The turf lias, however, horn his favourite 
pursuit, und lienee, in 1820, we find the maiden mention of 
liis namo, as winning three races oil one day at tho “ Anson 
Hunt,” with Raven, Teeedalo, and Jerry ; Lord Anson nnd 
“ John White" acting as their steersmen. I n 1827, lie essayed 
the legitimate at Chester, but ran lust, nml then won tho 
Anglcsoa Plate with the same filly, at UuiTon-oii-Trent. 
Two years after lie purchased Zinganoe from the Cliifncys, 
p.nd gave Sam Chifncy a winning mount on him for the 
Ascot Gold Cup, in a field which comprised Muimluke, \ 
Cudlatid, the Colonel, Green Mantle, and Lamplighter. 
Conolly then became his regular rider, and hud u good deal 
of luck ut Newmarket with Carthusian, who had scarcely 
run up to his real form in the Duke of Portland's hands. 
In 1831-32, his stud swelled to 15 (it onco reached 30), ami 
the Eclipso Loot, the Goodwood Cup, und five other races j 
fell to his share, with Priam, whom he also purchased from 
\ tho Guffeys. Jj'leur-do-lis und Variation ran second and | 
third to this genuine Du: by winner for the Goodwood Cup i 
of 1831 ; and in the following year, Heiram and St. Giles, 
■See., shared the sumo fate. In 1’uet, Priam was all but in- I 
vincible, ns Lncotta Imd to strike the white flag of Sir Murk 
Wood to him round the King’s Plate course, at Newmarket; 
I and he also, with Robinson up, beat Augustus across tbe 
I Flat, in a great match, which Herring’s pencil will not 
easily let die. His lordship's stud, in 1833, reached 1!1, 
J and in the following year Gluucus, with W illiam Scott on 
bis hack, won tho Whip, tho Eclipse Foot, and the Ascot 
Cup, beating Rockingham, Belshazzar, Chantilly, kc. The 
Goodwood Cup fell again to hia lot with Hornst u, in 1830, 
and with C irew flic following year, Curnvan, Hornsea, and 
The Carpenter, running in the ruck. In addition to these, 
Prizefighter, Distuffinn, Scroggins, Industry, Pam, Joan of 
Arc, the over-memorable Don John, Prize- I’lowor, Knight 
of the Whistle, Colwich, J creed, Lady Wilduir, Lady 
Evelyn, Omoo, Jacqueline, and u host of minor performers, 
have all duly maintained Hie honour of the popular “ ml 
and bine sleeve.'.” Touchstonoand Orlando are his favourite 
sires, and with Nat and Tom Taylor’s aid, there seems every 
probability that many a winner’s plute will still be nailed in 
LlanroiDy Stakes. — These races arc fixed for Tuesday 
(April 18th), and will consist of an Open Hurdle Race, tho 
Hunt Stocplochaso, the Hunt Hurdle Rueo, tho Farmers’ 
Iliice, and u Donkey Race. Tho entries ore to ho made on 
or before 8 o’clock on Saturday, April 8th, nnd £70 1 0s. U 
added to the stakes. 
TROTTING. — The Trotting Mutch which was made a few 
weeks ago between Mr. Christopher's gtcy mare, and Mr. 
Allan's grey mare, came off on Monday last, in the pre- 
sence of a targe concourse of spectators, on the Sliotlcy 
Bridge Turnpike Road, for £10 aside; the distance was 
fourteen miles, namely, from the Lectswood Toll liar, 
Newcastle, to Sliotlcy Bridge. Mr. Allan’s marc took the 
lend, which she maintained for upwards often miles, when 
Mr. Christopher’s nag passed her, and won n well contested 
vnee by about 200 yards, accomplishing the distance in 
fifty minutes. The umpires were Mr. Colpitts and Mr. 
Christopher ; Mr. Martin Bell, of Sliotlcy Bridge, being tho 
referee on tho occasion. This is tltc second match be- 
tween these two marcs, and, ns was tho case on the pre- 
sent occasion, Mr. Christopher’s marc won after a severe 
race. 
A Racing Testimonial.— A handsome silver service 
wus presented to Mr. Frail, the clerk of the Course at 
Shrewsbury, on Monday lu-t. Mr. Hurtoii, of I.ongncr Hull, 
wus in the chair, and wus supported by tho mayor of Shrews- 
bury. A high trlbnto was paid in tho speeches, to Mr. 
Frail's efficiency in Ids racing cap icily. 
Wild Cats. — Wo huve seen two very largo specimens of 
tho wild cut, which wero (rapped lust week — one at Divides 
Castle, und tho other ut Glciimuserun ; noil her of thorn wero 
injured by the trap, and even when dead they looked per- 
fect types of strength, sw lftners, und courage. A few years 
ago wild cuts wero rather abundant in some localities, hut 
their numbers nro now few in consequence of constunt trap- 
ping. — North British Uailg Mail. 
Artificial Puofaoation or Salmon. — Wo have 
been favoured with a sight of a few of the mlinon ova from 
the boxes at Stormont field, on the Tuv. In every oiig of 
them the fish might lie observed : in one or two more ad- 
vanced than the rest. Tho eves of tho little creature were 
large and prominent — tho chick ljing coiled like u bull, 
with tho bug contulning the viscera in tho centre. We havn 
no doubt that, by next week, numbers of the fry will havo 
broken the shell.— Glasgow Mail. 
The Croft and Hurworth Utter Hounds, killed a 301bs.

The Midland Sporting Chronicle says, tliut as ono of 
Mr. Mujor’s men, of Piimoor Hill, was engaged rolling in a 
field u few days ago, ho picked up nti old haro which had 
apparently only just been killed, as it was then quite warm. 
He took it homo and gave into the hands of his master, 
who, upon cpenlng it, found It containing two full- 
grown young ones, which ho carelessly took und threw away 
on a manure heap in the yard, boon after one of his chil-
