In the early century, annals of-the-English tart there are thres crises on resord in whinh a lady role tus me. The fair equestrian's name wan. Mrs. Thornton, and all three events were of a thoroughly sporting charactor. The scene of the conroste was the Kaavemiro, and the Occasions the York antama mestinga of 1804 and 1805. The forms of the first match wore før 500 gaineas and 1,000 guineas by four miles; between Colonel Thornton's oh „b Vingarille and Mr. Flint's bra Thoruvilli. Mrs. Thorat- on to ride her weight agabist Mr Flint's The aosae of exetemnat, as one that has rarely, beau equalis on a race-course. At fat and hundred thousand people congregated. qu wagera araunuting to something ke £200,000-ping.. dupandod o the result. Before thn arout Mrs. Thornton wae Esrcarita in the batting, odda of 3 and 6 10 4 being laid in her favour. The lady Int for upwards of three miles when her on- ponent gas on squat terms, and eventually won by two leaths. The ahronicler of the day saȚA that no words an express the disappointment fost. at the defeat of Mrs. Thornton. It wasdienit to say whether her horsemanship, her dress, or her go 0.10 besuty was ont admired-ho tout ensamble was unique. The spirit she displayed, and the good humour with which she bore her dafest, H greatly diminished the joy of many of the win-Auping ners But the gallant lady was not to be devic Bucom. In the ascendin year she challenged in two matches. The first great resulted in a walks over, her opponent paying forfeit. In the sanond race ab was opposed by a professional jockey. The ecurse was two mila for stakes of 500- guineas. At the cutset the lady took the lead and. kept it for some time. Her opponent then passed her, sud led for a few lengths. Mrs. Thornton, however, gallantly responded, and by excellent horsemanship regained the advantage. From th's point the race was a mos: eriting one, but the fair rider was never again he uded, and she oven? tually won by the shortest of heads. The manner of Mra. Torsten's riding." runs the old record, "is certainly of the finest description; fudead, her alment and perfect management of her horse, her bold and steady jockeyship, amazed ons vi the most crowded oorzaes we have for a long time witnessed; and on hor winning she was hailed with the most enthusiastią skouts of congratals tion," Mr Thornton's winnings on this after- noun amonated to £205, and four hogehends of wino-nut a badder's work most people will agree.
