No more curious examples of one of these side i->ues of sport can he found than is offered by a match j made when (ieorge IV. was still Prime of Wales. The match was a famous one in its day from its ex ' ceptional nature, the parties engag- ' ; ed in it and the unexpected denoue- j j nient. The Hon. (leorge Hanger, ! afterward I.or l Coleraine, was one' j of the celebrnied and eccentric pprj sonages of the day. At one of the 'gay parties at Carleton House Mr. i I Hanger was led, in the course of the : j eouversation, to declare that a turi key could travel faster than a goose. J The Prince of Wales, who had great; ! confidence in his judgment as to all matters of "wind, limb and speed," agreed with him in this declaration. A Mr. Berkeley differed from them,; and a match was at once arranged.j Twenty turkeys were entered against twenty geese. The distance to be trareled was teo miles. The race was for ?500. Indeed, the confidence in the turkey* was so great ? ' ini. i Jf A I Itiai oaus 01 v 10 i were uueicu? and taken?that these birds would win The prince at once arranged to have twenty of the tinest and gamest turkeyi collected. At the time and place appointed he met Mr. Berkeley with his entries of geese. The race began. From the start there was every indication that the turkeys would come in winners '"hands down" or wings down. The? tripped onward at a brisk pace, which the geese. with their heavier: waddle, were not able to equal. In-' deed, at the end of three hours the turkeys were leading by two miles. But night was falling. As the light grew less the turkeys displayed signs of uneasiness. They began to look at the trees that appeared by the wavside and edfircd toward them. Tbe prince, with a pole to which! was fastened a piece of red cloth, did what he could to urge them forward. First one escaped and, raising itself to a pendant limb, settled itself down comfortably. This one ; no sooner dislodged than aner established itself in a like nner. Barley scattered along the .jtd did not aid in the least. The turkeys had concluded that it was time to turn in, and turn in or turn oat they did. In e few minutes all of the twenty were rooeting in trees, from which it was impossible to drive them. Meanwhile the geese came lumbering on. They alowly passed their si umbering competitors. The race finished: tfrith ! the- geese first and the turkeys "nowhere."?
