8.--Swaffham coursing meeting commenced.
25.--Mr. Welby, of Blickling, undertook, for a bet of 50 guineas, to ride
his mare 90 miles on the Aylsham road in ten hours, all paces. "She
performed the first 80 miles in 8 hours 25 minutes, and had an hour and
thirty-five minutes to run the last ten miles, but was unable to
accomplish it, to the great disappointment of those who bet three and
four to one that the mare performed the journey."
