On the third day of the A.J.C. in the Suburban HandkMp, tin: public hacked Newmarket (BM-. :;ib.}, Tilburu (lOat. 71b.), mJI Rimvcvny lUwiii- (7«. -lib.), 'llio first two ran a dead heat, unsi t'ueoiher ■was third. In the run nil! Newmarket won. The winner was ridden by fov.cr. In the Second Foal Stakes Jlelos, having a ioib. penalty to put up, was withdrawn, and Wycoir.be having , only :i :\\h penalty, was f-ntniHtcd with the task, .iiiii Powi.-r ajram uot his mount home. hi tin WycoiuViu Stakes 'J to 1 was laid on Lamond, whilo was at 15 to 1 Lanumi cut out the runninp at .'in av.-ful pace, but in the end, notw'ithstendinjr a .*>lb penalty, Ensitrn was too irood for him. The Sydney Handicap had 'The > T un at ~> to •_', but the odds lengthened to (5 to 1, and Lyndhiirst vrni; the'final favonto. invader (8.-t !Jlb) and Siitmn (7ft.) ran jt dead hei:t. the mile and u-hiilf bninir f-ut out in 2min.-1 l^d , .

ensued, Marmion was tying closo behind Last.King and Scobeloft, whom lie caught at the curt of the stand, and beat them both cleverly. Festal foil at the lumllo in the straight, and whs killed cm tho spot, but her rider escaped with it severe shaking. In a field of five for the Waverley Handicap Theorist was held in mos-t esteem, and Power, taking 1 him to tho front, won all the way. There, was great satisfaction at the victory of the Q,utt;iisl.ind .sportsman, Mr. Hunter, who was heartily congratulated upon tiie success of his hor;<e. lor tho Kami wick I'lale only four numbers appeared on the board. The odds were 0 to 4 against Larnond, 7 to 4 against A berconi, "2 to 1 against, Australian Peer, and 10 to 1 against Wyootube. Tho race, which I saw described in a West Coast paper as very fast —it. might have been, for a steeplechase, for it would not, bo for a hurdle race—is thus chronicled:—They went away very leisurely, and Wycombe took tho lead in a few strides. He led into the straight and past the stand at a hack canter, Lamond being two lengths off second, Abcrcorn third, and The Australian Peer Inst. At. the mile post tho pace was nearly reduced to a walk. Wycombe, however, directly ho had compassed a mile and a quarter, sot all sail, and as he was ritill increasing his lead when they passed the stand the second time, ho was SO lengths in front, Lamund being three lengths in advance of Abercorn, with The Peer treading close upon the latter's heels. Wycombe continued his lead past the mile post, and along tho back stretch, and Abereorn went on second. Lamond retiiert, and Australian I'eei- went on third, but Wycombe had ten lengths' advantage entering the straight, and though the two cracks decreased the lead, Tho Peer swerved inside the distance, and Wycombe won by lour lengths, Abercorn beating tho Australian Peer by a leu"th for second honors. Lainond was last! Time, Omin.-17lsec. In the Final Handicap that mysterious animal Keith was in a trallopinir humor, and won easily. Tho a'J.C. stakes totalled £10,170, of which Mr. W. Gannon annexed l'270l), Mr. S. G. Cook £1-I(W>, Hon. J. White Wl'lo, and Mr. J. MeGill£olo. Another remarkable bicycling feat is reported fram England, as having taken place in Lincolnshire, on the 20th of August. it was a road ride, of 100 miles, by Mr. M. A. Holhein, * Manchester athlete, and a member of tho Cheshire Tally-ho Hureand Hounds, who undertook to beat the 100 miles road record, made by Mr. E. Halo, under exceptionally favorable circumstances (Oh. ;s'.)inin. oscc.)," nearly three years ago. The journey was thoroughly authenticated, and was " made on the same road as Mr. Hales's, except that it was run the reverse way- A choppy wind was dead against tho rider for upwards of -10 miles, added to which the road was very 100.-c and dusty for fully half the journey. Mr. Holbein covered 50 miles in lib. olmin.. and finally reached the goal in Oh. 20miti. 20sec. :" thus beating the former record by lSiuin. 39sec, and finishing , as fresh as when he started. What jnukes the performance the nmre meritorious is the fact that, with one exception, the gentlemen who volunteered to act as pacemakers, proved quite inadequate for the task, Mr. U. 11. Hill, of the iMtichloy Harriers, only boiug able to live with him, and that for a very short distance. Mr. Holhein rode a newly-designed Premier, which, though ony weighing 261b., stood the severe work well. On the following Saturday Mr. Holhein was to take pint in tho iH-hours' ride of the North-road Club, and ho felt confident in his ability to beat 000 miles.

The running at Oaulncld on tho first day, when t-uiupiircrt with K.indwick, looks a bit in Hiid out.
