TATTERSALL'S.-MOWDAY.

There were but a small number of members present at
Albert-gate to-day to see the old year out, and as no great
desire to speculate manifested itself, the business of the
afternoon was represented by some half dozen bets in con-
nection with the Two Thousand Guineas and the Derby.
For the first-named race Plaudit was backed at the price
quoted a fortnight since, 4 to 1, and he left off with these
odds still offered against him. The offer of ii to 1 against
Hermit did not meet with a response, and the only other
horses supported for this event were Julius anti Grand
Cross, about each of whom 19 to 1 was accepted, but to a
limited amount. For the Derby there was a marked in-
difference about the favourites, t to 1 being offered
sgainst The Rake, and 10 to 1 against Plaudit, without
finding a taker. Dragon was also out of favour at 20 to 1
offered. Marksman met with support at f 0 to 1, as did
Master Butterfly at the 144113 C odds. Avron and Star of
India were hacked at Lunn to 1•: each, and an offer was
nude to take 1,000 to about The Priest, against whom,
however, no longer price than to 1 was offered. Ap-
pended are the quotations.

BOAT RACE ON THE TYNE.— A boat-race equal-
ing in interest that which recently took place between
J. Taylor and J. Bright, came off on the Tyne yesterday.
Bright was again a competitor, and pulled against G.
Carr, a promising Tyneside oarsman. The stakes were
SW, aside, and the stretch was upw tells of two miles and
• belt -from the High Level at Newcastle to the Meadows
House. The agreement was that the men row in open
boats, in the management of which both are known to be
adepts. Carr has already millea several successful matches
in these bouts, and since Bright's defeat by Taylor the
odds have risen considerably in his favour. For some
days back he has been readily backed as the favourite, and
on Saturday night 6 and 7 to 1 were freely offered upon
him. Ilarry Clasper was referee, and the umpires were—
For Carr, John Adams ; for Bright, H. NichoL Bright
won by five lengths.

Up to yesterday morning the total amount r•
tually received at the Mansion-house on behalf of the suffe-
rers by the late colliery explosions was 10,4111., and the
total received and promised amounted to 14,116/.

of which the necessity for increased smallpox and fever
hospital accommodation was enforced, the application was
granted unanimously.
