tioa which was received with blank astonishment by
all, and with Wadley by • great many. For some time
the news was too ugly to believe, but the presence of Mr.
Weatherby in the subeniptiau room, together with the
wall-known Burliagtoodent alga manual on the "notice
board," moo dispelled the fondest doubts. As might
naturally be supposed, many deplored their own personal

despite their own disappointment, they did not
forget to ewer their sympathy for the noble owner, who,

tempted to recoup himself to the wooed of a single ;Mien,
when he found that his horn lied gem mdse. For this
act sloes the Marquis of Hutiap will be regarded as a true
and worthy supporter, as well as patrols, of the turf, and
it may be some small recompense for his sudden dis-
appointment, to know that of the numerous backers of The
Duke then is not oae who will not mingle with his own
