in pursuit of his prey. At this moment, a na-
tive on the Choppah roofs of one of the boats,
with a rope in his hand, which he was slowly
coiling up, surveyed the shark's motions with
a look that evidently indicated he had a se-
rious intention of encountering him in his own
element. Holding the rope, on which he
made a sort of running knot, in one hand, and
stretching out the other arm, as if already in.
the act of swimming, he stood in an attitude
truly picturesque, waiting the re-appearance
of the shark. At about six or eight yards
from the boat, the animal rose near the sur-
face, when the native instantly plunged into-
the water, a short distance from the very
jaws of the monster. The shark immediately
turned round, and swam slowly towards the
man, who, in his turn, nothing daunted, struck
out the arm that was at liberty, and approached
his foe. When within a foot or two of the
shark, the native dived beneath him, the
animal going down almost at the same instant.
The bold assailant in this most frightful con-
test soon re-appeared on the opposite side of
the shark, swimming fearlessly with the hand
he had at liberty, and holding the rope behind
his back with the other. The shark, which
had also by this time made his appearance,
again immediately swam towards him ; and
while the animal was apparently in the act of
lifting himself over the lower part of the na-
tive's body that he might seize upon his prey,
the man, making a strong effort, threw himself
up perpendicularly, and went down with his
feet foremost, the shark following him so si-
multaneously, that I was fully impressed with
the idea that they had gone down grappling
together. As far as I could judge, they re-
mained nearly twenty seconds out of sight,
112

while I stood in breathless anxiety, and I may
add, horror, waiting the result of this fearful
encounter. Suddenly the native made his ap-
pearance, holding up both his hands over his
head, and calling out with a voice that pro-
claimed the victory he had won while under-
neath the wave, Tan tan ! ' The people in
the boat were all prepared ; the rope was in-
stantly drawn tight, and the struggling victim,
lashing the water in his wrath, was dragged
to the shore and dispatched. "When mea-
sured, his length was found to be six feet nine
inches; his girth at the greatest three feet
seven inches. The native who achieved this
intrepid and dexterous exploit bore no other
marks of his finny enemy than a cut on the
left arm, evidently received from coming in
contact with the tail or some one of the fins of
the animal.
EPITOME OF THE POINTS AT WHIST.
A game consists of two points, five each ; a
rubber, of two games out of three ; and this
may be five points two for each game, and
the rubber game ; consequently, a bumper
(that is, two consecutive games, in which the
adversaries do not score five in either of them)
is five points. In other cases, where each
party scores a game, single or double, the
points, after the deciding game, are set off
against what has been scored by the opponents.
In close games, as in the bumper (five points),
the points are as made viz. a double and
single score four points; two singles, three
points (that is, two in the first instance for the
points, aud one for the rubber) ; a double to
double, and a double the deciding game, as
three points ; a double on one side against a
single on the other, with a double the last
game, is four points ; double and single
against a double, two points ; double and
single against a single, three points ; two
singles and rubber three points ; two singles
against a double, one point ; single and single,
and a double the last, three points ; single
and single, and a single the last, two points ;
and so on, in all the varieties of the game
the points of the losers being set off against
those of the winners, and the rubber game (no
matter whether consecutive or not) carrying
one point, and, consequently, the winner of
the rubber must gain one point (as above),
even though, in winning two singles, his ad-
versaries score a double (even points) against
them.
RACES AT ST. HELENA.
In all parts of the world it appears that a
little bit of sporting is very acceptable to the
inhabitants, to put them in good spirits ; and
the following account of the " Knowing ones
taken in " we have no doubt will be well re-
ceived by our readers.
The St. Helena Races, which took place in
September last, presented the sporting ama-
teurs with a novelty, such perhaps as is not to
be found recorded in the annals of horse-rac-
ing. An officer of Lowther undertook to trot
one of those immense dray horses which are
made use of in London, and which had been
brought out in that ship for the purpose of
drawing the stores up the beach, against an
ambling nag of the island, whose favorite
pace was a canter. The match was made for
twenty guineas, and the distance to be trotted
was one mile. At the appointed time the
gentleman who rode the daisy cutter was up-
on the ground, waiting for his opponent, the
knight of the dray horse, who soon made his
appearance over the top of the last hill, which
he had to surmount on his way from town to
Deadwood, for he rode all the way up, nothing
fearful of fatiguing his colossal beast, of
whom it was truly observed, " the trembling
earth resounded to his tread." He was ac-
coutred, if not in Dandy, yet something like
Dandle Dinmmont's style, with a large white
frock coat ; white hat, the slouching brim of
which had '* ample room and verge enough "
to shield the wearer from both sun and rain,
large top boots, and his dexter hand flourishing
a long whip. They started, and bets ran high
against poor Dobbin, but his opponent perhaps
scorning such a competition, or finding a trot
uneasy to his rigidity of limb, soon broke off
into his accustomed two up and two down,
and was consequently obliged to return and
start anew. He did so, but with no better
success, yet still bets were in his favor. A
third time he started, but, " still beginning,
never ending," was a third time obliged to re-
turn. The tide now turned in Dobbin's favor,
who all this while kept on the even tenor of
his trot,
" And backward and forward lie switched his long
tail.
As a gentleman switches his cane"
Finally, by his plodding perseverance, as is
often the case in more important competitions,
men as well as horses, Dobbin carried off
the prize from his fleet but unsteady rival,
and came in the winner of the race, amid the
loud laughter and acclamations of nearly all
the population of the island, assembled to
witness the race.
FANCY PARODY.
Air "The Minstrel Boy to the Wai is gone."
The li-ary cove to the mill is gone,
In the P. C. ring you'll nnd him,
His blue bird's eye he has girded on,
And has left his flame behind him.
Fancy sport, cried the leary cote,
Though every Beak betrays thee,
One soul at least thy Sprees shall love,
One faithful chaunt shall praise thee
The cove was floor'd, but he show'd high game,
Nor like a cur knocked under.
His chaunt will ne'er be clear agaip,
For his nose was split asunder.
Leary cove, said hisjftame in a pet,
Thou pink of love and bravery,
Since thou art ftovr'd, I'll a service get,
And spend my days in slavery.

BIRMINGHAM :
'Hie Winner of the St. Legcr Stakes at Doncaster in 1830,
(the Properly of MR. BEARDSWORTH.^
THE town of Birmingham, to the lovers of
Sporting;, is most certainly distinguished at
the present moment for the possession of a
celebrated Race Horse ; and also for a native
pugilistic Champion ;* two thorough-bred ar-
ticles in their line ; and who have done the
*' Sporting World " some service, and they
know it. But the town of Birmingham has
* The brave, unconquered little Arthur Matthe*vson

umphed over all his antagonists in his n'ative county,
but he also disputed the palm of excellence as a Pugi-
list in the London Ri^r.
rendered itself much more eminent in the eyes
of society, by its love and support of the FINE
ARTS ; likewise for its attachment to Litera-
ture ; and for its devotedness to the cause of
liberty : but respecting a knowledge of Mecha-
nics it stands unrivalled. The town of Birming-
ham, within the last few years, has made rapid
strides towards importance in a political point
of view and the "March of Intellect" has
given it more real power in society than all
the guns, swords, and pistols, that were ever
manufactured in it from the first minute it
obtained the name of Birmingham, up to the

present hour. The above town is also distin-
guished as the residence of several men of
superior talents, calculated to adorn any situ-
ation in life. *
The races at Warwick stand rather promi-
nent in a sporting point of view ; and are
generally well attended by numerous parties
from Birmingham ; and they are also visited
by numbers of Sporting men from all parts of
the kingdom.
Birmingham, 3d March, 1832.
DEAR SIR,
According to your wish, I have sent
you a print t of Birmingham, and I am sorry
1 have not a drawing of my establishment ; I
have sent you a copy of a song which was
written on Birmingham winning the St. Leger.
I have also sent you a copy of a letter I re-
ceived on the same Occasion, both o f which I
think you may like, and make use of. The
most extraordinary ..circumstance relative to
my horse Birmingham is, that when he was a
foal, and soon after I purchased him, he was
taken ill, and was $0 much reduced that he
could not stftml, to; feed. In this state I left
him (on a Friday), and was from home teu
days; on my> return, I was surprised to find
him alive, and as^'hayi a great dislike to see
a sick horse, 1 ordered that he should be
destroyed beforfel w^ht td the stables. Mrs.
Beardsworth, who .was present, begged of
me riot to have him Destroyed, and that, if I
would have him brought into a private box
near the house, she would attend to him, and
nurse him. He was carried by four men from
the box he was then in, to the other, where he
remained for a month, or more, without any
visible improvement, during the whole of
* The opportunity which presents itself is too inviting
for us to pass over with neglect : therefore, amongst
the numerous men of ability resident in Birmingham,
we trust we shall be pardoned (as there is nothing
invidious in the selection) for referring to an old and
much respected friend of ours, JOSEPH PAKKF.S, Esq.,
a gentleman of great literary research, united with
talents as a writer ; a worthy member of society ; n
man of the world ; an excellent lawyer ; and a phi-
lanthropist. His " Vindication of the Drama, the
Stage, and Public morals, in answer to tlie Rev. John
Angel James," minister of Can's-iane Chapel, Bir-
mingham," a work replete with learning, sound ar-
gument, and an excellent knowledge of society , alone,
is a sufficient testimony of the superior mind possessed
by Mr. Parkes. The present lord chancellor, when
Henry Brougham, E."q., in the House of Commons,
we are happy to assert, gave the meed due to the
above genflemaii for his various literary labours and
other exertions calculated to benefit mankind; and in
humbly seconding that great If gal opinion, independent
of our own feelings on the subject, it cannot be denied
to us that we have acted upon " good advice."
+ Our spirited sketch of Birmingham is taken from a
most beautifully coloured plate, after nature, pub-
lisnedby Messrs Fuller and Co., drawn by Mr. Her-
ring, the celebrated Horse Painter, at Doncaster, and
is one of a most splendid collection of the winners of
the Doncaster St. Leg ei Stakes ; indeed, the whole of
the Plates are got up with so much spirit, life, and
taste, that those gentlemen who are ford of decorating
their apartments with subjects ot the above description,
ongbt not to be without them if they feel any desire
to render their cabinets complete.
which time Mrs. Beardsworth was incessant
in her attendance upon him, seeing him
always the last thing before she went to bed,
and frequently getting up in the night to him.
I several times requested he might he de-
stroyed, but Mrs. B. always opposed it, and
said, she had a presentiment that he would
recover and win the Leger. It is a singular
circumstance, that this is the only hors* Mrs.
Beardsworth ever noticed : although my house
is so nearly connected with my establishment,
I never knew her enter a stable except to see
Birmingham.
Birmingham was bought by Mr. lickinson,
by auction, (at Mr. Mytton's Sale, which took
place at my establishment the 25th of Nov.,
1827,) at forty-live guineas, and I gave him
ten guineas for the buying. He was bred by
Mr. Lacy, of Culwick, near Nottingham : his
pedigree and performance up to the winning
the Leger, accompany the print since which
I send it you in writing with the other.
The description you gave of the Repository
in your paper, I think you cannot improve.
I am particularly obliged by your kind offer,
and shall certainly make a point of commu-
nicating any intelligence I may think will be
worth your notice.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours most respectfully,
JOHN BEARDSWORTH.
Pierce Egan, Esq.
p. S. I am sorry I have to communicate to
you the melancholy intelligence of the decease
of Mrs. Beardsworth, which took place on
the 12th of Dec. last, after a short illness.
Birmingham, 6th March, 1832.
DEAR SIR,
It may be worth your knowing, that on
the day I purchased Birmingham, Mr.Locldey
purchased Independence, at tin* same sale ;
there were sixty-four horses sold, and these
were the only two that have proved of any
value : in fact, net one of the others have won
at all. It is singular, also, that these two
horses should be the best in England, Inde-
pendence having won ci'tener than any other
horse ; and Birmingham travelled to more
places, and won at each ; and even only the
week before he won the Leger, he won the
Guy Stakes, and Avon Stakes, at Warwick.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours truly,
JOHN BEARDSWORTH.
