Steeple Chase Match for One Hundred Guineas aside.

The pleasant village of Castlethorpe was all bustle and confusion on Wednesday last, and unless we are greatly mistaken it is long since it was honoured with such a host of visitors. Steeple chasing has now become so general that it will excite no surprise that even a match of this magnitude should have taken place at a spot so comparatively secluded. The match originated over a glass of wine, Mr. Dring, a gentleman connected with the London and Birmingham Railway, agreeing to run his mare, Jenny Jones, four years old, against Mr. Wesley's The Queen, aged, Mr. W. giving Mr. D.'s mare seven lbs. So far as age, &c. &c. Mr. Wesley had decidedly the best of the bargain. The day was delightfully fine, and we were most hospitably received by Mr. Joseph Bull, of Castlethorpe, who very kindly pointed out the ground to us, and rendered all possible assistance. It was mutually agreed between the parties that Mr. Bull should select the line, and a man more fitted for the task, both as regarded the spectators and the contending parties, could not have been found. The line chosen was within a few fields of the railway, and within two miles of Wolverton station, starting from a field of wheat, in the occupation of Mr. Bull, descending gradually to the brook, a fair sporting jump, leaving a red flag placed in the opposite meadows to the right, into the parish of Haversham, along the meadows in the possession of Mr. Greaves, up a large wheat field to the common road leading to Wolverton station, over the road and a stone wall to a flag in a grass field, and over a fair sporting country for three quarters of a mile to another flag, one field from Haversham wood; from thence, down a large grass field, over a small brook, to Hanslope Park, in the middle of which stood the extreme flag. This was to be turned to the left, and the object then was to make the best way back again, without infringing the laws of steeple chasing. The two winning flags were placed in a large grass field belonging to Mr. Bull, and within one field of the start, the road only dividing them. The line, we should say, was a good four miles, and included thirty-three fences. After partaking of an excellent lunch at the house of Mr. Bull, who regaled his friends with everything heart could wish for, we set out to see the

START,

which was to take place precisely at two o'clock. The time however taken up in showing the ground, and the absence of Jenny Jones when wanted, brought it to half-past three before the word " Off," was given. "The Queen" is known to most of our sporting readers. " Jenny Jones," although she has had the honour of exhibiting with the Duke of Grafton's hounds, never before appeared in public as a steeple chaser. But for ought we see to the contrary, she may one day have James Mason on her back. The exceeding fineness of the day drew together a considerable number of spectators. For several fields round the trees were full of men and boys, and the lasses came out in their holiday attire in numbers. The railroad lads threw aside pickaxe and shovel, and all seemed bent upon a holiday. The race is easily described. Both mares started together, and took their fences well. The Queen showed the way the whole distance, but as far as our opinion goes she did not make the running strong enough. The fencing throughout was good, but there was nothing to alarm any fair sportsman. They had the choice of a " rum 'un" or a gate, but the gate suited the best. In the race the two mares jumped three gates admirably. Mr. Wesley rode his own, and Mr. Leabird the other. Within a quarter of a mile from home it was " Lombard-street to a China orange" on The Queen. Jenny was evidently beaten, but, alas! at the last fence but one The Queen, in trying to get out of the road, pitched on her head, and stretched Mr. Wesley upon his mother earth. Shouts rent the air from the friends of Jenny Jones, but many were grieved to see so good a young sportsman as Mr. Wesley meet with so decided a piece of ill-luck. He would else have won in a canter. After the accident be remounted, but before he was well in his saddle Leabird had passed through the winning flags. Jenny Jones was however terribly beaten. After weighing, &c. a party of about forty adjourned to the Pea Hen, occupied by Mr. Soden, at Castlethorpe, where a most epicurean table was spread. The champagne was Moet's primest, and the port as good as if it had been picked from the cellars of the George itself.

TO LET,

John Hind, ploughman to Mr. Smeeton, 10s.

The plough used by Griggs (Mr. Cooper's man, of the Kiebles) attracted a good deal attention. It was of peculiar construction, and was bought by Mr. Cooper from seeing one exhibited at the late Cambridge show. The maker is Mr. Huckvale, of Over-Norton, near Banbury. At half-past three about  150 gentlemen sat, down to an excellent dinner at Mr. Hipwell’s, the Anchor Inn, Newport Pagnell, P. D. P. Duncombe, Esq. in the chair, supported by Harcourt, Esq. M.P. Captains Fitzroy and Pinfold, Rev. Mr. Wingfield, G. Lucas, Esq. J. Bailey, Esq. Shenley, &c. etc.; Mr. E. Greaves, of Haversham, the Secretary of the society, acted as Vice.

The cloth having been drawn, the chairman proposed "the Queen," Prince Albert," "the Queen Dowager and the rest of the Royal Family," "the Army and Navy," all which were received with three times three. "The Army" was acknowledged by Captain Pinfold; The Navy" Captain Fitzroy, who said that since the last peace the members his profession had been most cruelly and shamefully neglected. Still they were the same men to whom they all owed the security of their firesides, and as our blustering neighbours on the other side of the channel seemed rather forgetful of the lesson taught them by our blue-jackets, the latter, in conjunction with their gallant brethren, if properly backed by the government, were prepared to show that they were made of the old stuff. (Cheers.)

The Chairman, proposing the next toast, said he was sure they would receive it with the utmost cordiality. He saw around him numerous and respectable body of supporters of a society which was founded, not solely for the advancement of their own selfish and private interests, but for the interests of the country at large, which was bound up with the prosperity of agriculture When, therefore, he asked them to drink the health of the members of the county, he was sure of approbation of all, for they were men who had always borne the agricultural interests on their banners, and had always stood forward in their support. Providence just now seemed to favour the farmers, and if they were true to themselves all would well. (The toast was drank with three times three, and one more.) Harcourt, Esq. M.P. immediately rose to return thanks. should be wanting in gratitude if delayed for one moment to acknowledge, on the part of himself and his colleagues, the exceedingly kind manner which they had received their names this early stage of the proceedings. must confess that it was unexpected on his part. But it should never be said that he was unprepared to acknowledge a kindness for himself and friends. He regretted that circumstances prevented his colleagues from being present on this occasion, because was quite sure they would share in the pleasure which, as a country gentleman and a philanthropist, derived from it himself. He did not think was he was taking too much upon himself when said that by their votes in parliament, well as by their exertions elsewhere to serve the agricultural cause, they were doing their best to serve their friends and their neighbours, and might be allowed to say, broadly and generally, the country at large. He might as well say once for all, that he did think the agricultural interest of paramount importance; and he would add that they or any other man neglected the interests of agriculture they neglected the interests of the country. (Cheers.) This was not the place —it was rather the last place—into which politics should be intruded. (Cheers, and cries of " bravo.") Nor did he omit any opportunity of saying that these meetings ought to be neutral ground, not only for the sake sociality, but for the sake of the greater cause of morality. He was glad to see these societies spreading far and wide, this country their extension, indeed, could hardly farther go, for they were to found in every Quarter of it. Last year the association was in its infancy—to-day it is more than half grown. He was delighted to see the way in which the details were managed, and he was delighted to see the conduct of the recipients of their bounty, whom he had closely observed. As an illustration of the progress -which the association with which he was more particularly connected (the South Bucks), was making, he stated, that in they began by awarding 22 prizes, while this year the number was 122, and the amount of money distributed £137. Mr. Harcourt concluded by reading a paragraph from the report of the South Bucks Association, earnestly impressing the necessity of throwing aside all party and political feeling in connection with these institutions, and inviting the co-operation of men of all shades of politics in advancing the condition, moral and physical, of the labourers. We have not room to enumerate the remainder of the toasts.

Northampton Mercury 09 October 1841

NEWPORT PAGNEL AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION.

The annual meeting of this Association was held on Wednesday last; The ploughing took place in Newport Fields, in the occupation of Mr. Wm. Price. Upwards of 30 teams came to the ground.
The dinner took place at the Swan Hotel, and a more excellent no and well-ordered repast was never supplied. Upwards of 100 persons were present. The chair was filled by P. Duncombe Pauncefort Duncombe, Esq. who was supported by C. Pinfold Esq., Captain Bolding, W. Watts, Esq., Captain Abthorpe, George Lucas, Esq., William Bailey, Esq., Joseph Bailey, Esq. &c.
The cloth having been drawn, the chairman proposed—The Queen, with three times three.
The Queen Dowager.
The Prince Albert.
The Princess Royal and rest of the Royal Family,
The Army and Navy.
The health of Major Pinfold. (Great cheering.)
Major PINFOLD returned thanks for his own health and on behalf of the two services, in the absence of Captain Fitzroy.
Nothing certainly was so agreeable to them the approbation their fellow countrymen. (Cheers.)
The next toast was Success Agriculture;
The Royal Agricultural and all other Agricultural Associations. T. A. Green, Esq. in acknowledging the toast, said anything could make an Englishman proud—if society was valuable agriculture—it was that society. Everyone who had been to the meetings at Cambridge, at Oxford, at Liverpool, must rejoice in belonging to the glorious country which could produce such meetings. He was unable to go to Liverpool, but he was at Cambridge, and he must say that it was the most magnificent menagerie of beasts he ever beheld. These exhibitions and the contrast which the ploughing of a few years back afforded to such ploughing as they had seen at Bedford, at Turvey, and to-day, must satisfy them that agriculture was advancing famously. Like every other science, agriculture was in its infancy, but it was advancing to manhood, and he was glad of it, for agriculture was the right hand of the country, and commerce was the left; and if the right hand decayed, the left would soon wither too. He rejoiced that many of them belonged to the Royal Agricultural Society. There they had an opportunity of learning what was best in the way of manure, of breeding, feeding, &c. It was in fact the Johnson's Dictionary of agriculture. (Cheers.)
Mr. Graves, the Secretary, then read the awards as follows; Class 1. To the labourer who shall have brought up the greatest number of children without parochial relief: —John Dewick, of Walton, the service of Chas. Pinfold, Esq. nine children, £2.
Class 2. To the labourer in husbandry (not a hired servant) who has worked the longest time with one master or mistress : Charles Rainbow, 46 years on Mr. Trower's farm, at Castlethorpe,

NEWPORT PAGNELL MARKET.

The first Wednesday's market, in pursuance of the recent resolution to alter the day of holding the markets of this town, from Saturday to Wednesday, was held this week. The experiment, so far as it can be said to be tested by a single day, has exceeded, we think we may say, the expectations of its advocates. The bustle and attendance exceeded by far the average of Newport Pagnell markets, and we understand that good deal of business was transacted. There were ordinaries at the Swan, and the Anchor. At the former upwards of 70 persons attended, among whom we observed—C. Pinfold, Esq. (in the chair) G. H. Lucas Esq., G. Cooch, Esq., W. B. Bull, Esq., R. Collison, Esq., W. Powell, Esq., Messrs. Taylor, Redden, of Newport; Wm. Levi, of Moulsoe; Osborn, of Leighton Buzzard; Atterbury, of Woburn ; Barford, of Hanslope and Gayhurst; Payne, of Linford; Pain, of Milton Keynes; Bull, of Castlethorpe; Smith, of Loughton ; Biggs, of Bromham ; Luke Price, Wm. Price, Hives, Eve, Barratt, of Newport; Scriven, of Willen ; C. Talbot, of Olney ; J. Brooks, of Clifton ; Jefferson, of Sherington ; Leete, of Emberton; Heighington, of Woburn; I. J. and C. Whitworth, of Turvey and Brafield ; Perry and Son, of Lavendon Mills : Odams, of Woburn Sands; Elkins, of Linford ; Page, of  Emberton; Price, of Tickford Park; Dawkes, of Stoke Goldington; Wm. Howe, of Moulsoe; Armstrong, of Newport; King, of Wavendon; Osborn, Goodman, Rogers, Broderick, and J. Staines, of Newport; and Walton, of Brafield.
Mr. Bull, of Castlethorpe, was appointed the future chairman of the market table. The usual preliminary toasts having been given, the health of C. Pinfold, Esq. was proposed by G. Lucas, Esq. not only as their active and efficient chairman on this occasion, but as a gentleman who shewed himself at all times anxious to further the prosperity of Newport Pagnell. It was received with great cheering.
Mr. Pinfold, in returning thanks, proposed the health of the buyers in the first Wednesday's market, and stated that it had been suggested that the stock market should be held the first Wednesday in each month.
Mr. Wm. Biggs, of Bromham, having been loudly called upon, said they had made mistake in calling upon him, as he had not been able to effect a purchase, although he had made several biddings. However he was not to be discouraged; this was the first time he had attended Newport Pagnell market, but it would not be the last. He differed from the suggestion that the stock market should only be held monthly. If they desired it to prosper it must be held weekly. The Bedford stock market had risen to a very considerable degree of prosperity by being held weekly.
Mr. Barford, of Gayhurst, thought that whatever difference of opinion might exist as to the day of the stock market, they were unanimous in their approval of the market they had just established. He thought much was to be said in support of Mr. Biggs' opinion. The question was an important one, and ought to be settled that day.
Mr. Payne, of Linford, was in favour of a weekly market for stock as well as for corn.
The chairman then put the question whether the stock market should be continued weekly with the corn market, and the affirmative was carried unanimously.
Mr. Tarry, of Lathbury, suggested that the cattle market should begin at ten, and the corn at twelve. After the healths of the buyers and some other toasts had been drunk, the Chairman vacated the chair.

BE LET,

NEWPORT PAGNELL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this society was held on Wednesday last at Newport Pagnell. The ploughing took place in a field belonging to Mr. Luke Price, near the town, on the road to Wolverton. We are sorry to say that only eight teams entered into competition, and the work it must be confessed was not first-rate. The attendance on the ground was very scanty, and the chilliness of the weather, in keeping with the chilliness of the show, made the whole affair anything but heartening. At three o'clock, a party under 50 in number, assembled at the Swan Hotel, where Mr. Wesley had provided a dinner which merited larger number of devotees. The chair was taken by M. Knapp, Esq. of Linford, who was supported Charles Pinfold, Esq., Christopher Trower, Esq., T. A. Green, Esq., Wm. Powell, Esq., John Parrott, Esq., Wm. Collisson, Esq., &c.
The dinner being concluded, the Chairman gave "Church and Queen," "The Queen Dowager and rest of the Royal Family," The Lord Lieutenant of the County," The Treasurer, Mr. E. Greaves."
Mr. Greaves here read a list of the awards as follows :— Service, &c—£2 to John Pettit, labourer to Mr. Burn, of Moulsoe, for bringing up seven children without parochial relief; 30s. to George Boon, labourer to Mr. Field, of Sherington, for bringing up four children, without parochial relief. £2 to Thomas Goodman, 34 years labourer on Mr. Wilson's farm, Walton ; 30s. to John Geary, 31 years on Mr. Cleaver's, Hanslope; 25s. to George Boon, 30 years on Mr. Field's; 15s. to Wm.
