„accounts," upon which the double operatic° of mai and
receiving warn at once commenced, a few fag-ends of Liver-
pool being still waiting for adjustable'. The betting on
the Northamptooshire Stakes promoted several features of
interest, first and foremost being the fire opened upon
Lioness, which was kept up without intermission until

were his followers to got on, that from his opining price of
9to 1, he advanced to 7to 1 taken kindly. Cornices was
also strongly fancied by hie party, who, ia anticipation that
the ground would be soft, and so favour his " poor feet,"
took 9 to 1 freely, 8 to 1 only being offered at the close.
Wiagrave was also in force at his quoted price. The
displacement of Lioness caused her stable companion
Costa to be inquired after, but the iayen having
an idea that one of the " two striep" must be
" nomad " fought shy, and after IC3 to 8 lad

books with offers of 10 to I. 7to I was booked about Cam-
buscan for the Two Thomand, and 15 " ponies" about

having been accepted throe times, the same price using alio
noted in favour of Priam Arthur. 50 to 1 was takes to
