ENGLISH JOCKEY V. AMERICAN EXPRESS RIDER.

At the Agricultural Hall, on November 15th, the main feature of the " World's Athletic Carnival" was a twenty miles riding match between Marve Bsardaley, a noted express rider before the American Continent was girdled with iron roads, aad J. Rellew, a young English jockey, of great promise, at present aerviug his apprentloaahip to Mr C. Wood. Eaoh man used hve horses, chanying at will, and the race was run on the tan track, seven laps to the mile. Baardaley wag one of the horsemen In the recent contest, and tbiß of course gave him a familiarity with ♦he track, which stood him in good stead as Bgsinst hia antagonist ; but thia was a minor advantage oompared with his immense euperlority in what /nay be termed tao equine gymnastics practised by the cow boys of the West ia imitation' of the Red men of the prairies. Marve Baardßley won the match solely by his capacity for remounting quickly, the sort of work for which, of cuiee, aD Englishman has no special training. Jumping from one horse at a bound fee rushed at his new mount, near or off aide indifferently, caught hold of ihe bridie and saddle, aud, attirting off at a gallop, eorambled in'.o the saddle while going full speed with easa and agility. Young Rellew, who rldeß admirably, might BHfely be backed against Beardoley io a Btraight-off distance race, from tbe eappcity he exhibited of nursing and getting the better out of his mount ; but lor rapidly changing from one horse to another, he was, aB compared with hi 3 rival, oiroply nowhere. Moreover, onoe his bridle broke, and he was thrown, and very narrowly escaped being trampled on. He was up, however, like lighting, rushed baok a quarter of a lap for a fresh horse, and waa oil iv grand style before all the spectators were aware of what had oe- I curred. This lost him a lap, while another lap was lost from Marve Beards ley's splendid agiiity ia remounting. Thia loss was effaoted early la the rase, after Rails rr had led for a short time, bub as between two and three laps the Eogliah jeekey again and again caught and passed geardsley, though tbe track waa barely wide enough to accomplish the fett, and though he was beaten, he certainly loatno credit by his defeat. Beardsley ultimately won by two laps tnd one length. For continuation of Ifetot, set pay* 4.)
