The FooTRAcE BETWEEN BARTON AND SEWARD
No Go.-Ihe match for a race, made some time
since, between these two pedestrians, announced to
come oil to-day, on the Beacon Course, Hubolen,
will not take place, Seward paying forfeit He has
been IN heavy training for some time past, and had
so far reduced himself, that upon trial yesterday
morning, he found that he was not able to perform
anything like what was expected from him. So, in
justice to his friends and supporters and with their
advice agreed to act as stated 1t must be borne in
mind that mile is much greater distance than
Seward has been in the habit of performing in his
other matches, his distance has seldom or never ex-
ceeded hafa mile, and for whichhe seldom or never
trains.


There is match IN contemplation between Sew
ard and the Canadian horse Hops to go quarter of


mile and leap ten hurdles, each three feet inches
high. The backers,of Seward want start OF twenty
five yards IN his favor, which 1t is expected will be
conceded, or at least start OF few yards The af-
fair is expected TO come off as soon as Seward re-
covers his strength.

tomorrow on the st. Georges ground, Blooming.
