BRITING IN LONDOE.—IYADshaDav Arritsoom.
The betting on the Cambridgeshire this afternoon was
sensidarable and ppoortant;Chepstow steadily maintained
his position, while Proaerpine advanced still further into
favour. A dead set was made against Abergeldie, as much
as 500 to 15 being at one time laid, and although he
slightly rallied and came back to 25 to 1, he had an un-
mistakeably shaky ap ea. Baron Rothschild's pair—
Mamma and T wk—were both freely supported,
and the first-named was also backed, coupled with Duke
of York. A eonsiderab'e amount of support was accorded
to Xi, and his advance had the effect of driving his stable
companion, Star, to the outside ranks. The remaining•
transactions were the backing of a few outsiders for small
amounts, while Thalia received the "happy despatch" at
33 to 1. Subjoined are the closing prises :

CHELTENHAM AUTUMN MEETING.
WEDNESDAY.

Though it was originally intended that a day should
intervene between the Cheltenham and Hereford meetings,
the length of the programme issued on Tuesday by the
arthorities at the first-named place necessitated the post-
ponement of one of the races—the Visitors Plate—till the
fol'owing day ;and accordingly, to-disy, that event, with
several matches and sweepstakes whsch had closed over-
night, were set for decision. The weather toss fine, though
very cold, but the attendance was very limited, the ring
and stand being comparatively deserted. The racing was
merely o: passing interest, and is sufficiently described
below. The objection againat Steamboat and Edgbaston
was gone into ou Tuesday ;sight by the stewards, and they
decided to take the opinion of the Hereford stewards
thereon.
