THE OVAL

UE'STLEII6,I OF THE 141'HREY CLUB r. FOURTEEN COLTS OP

THE COCNTT (WITH LOCETER AS CAPTAIN).
It will be remembered that this match was commenced
at the Oval on Monday in the Epsom week, but owing to
the then unpropitious state of the weather it had to be
abandoned, and the committee, deeming it highly impor-
tant that the Colts should have their " canter," Mr. Mil-
ler undertook again to " captain" the Surrey gentlemen
and Lockyer the Colts this day at the (h-al. Mr. Miller
won the toes, and the Club took first innings, the Messrs.
tStrachan (father and son) being the first occupants of the
debateable ground, and Slater, a left-handed medium-
paced stripling, and Brown, right hand and rather fast,
being the first pair pair of bowlers. The younger Stnchan
was bowled by Slater before a run had been made off
the bat, and when 11 were booked, Mr. Noble,
who followed, lost his partner, who bad made a fine leg
hit for 4, which was splendidly thrown up by Stanley when
the score stood at 11. Mr. J. D. Walker was again in great
form, and the pair punished the colts' bowling consi-
derably, knocking up between them—though they took
it very leisurely between wickets-48 runs by a
quarter to 1. This induced Lockyer to try a fresh bowler,
in the person of Constable (also left, and more speedy), in
lieu of Slater. The general fielding of the colts was com-
mendable—Miller at point and Constable at longatop—so,
at 1 o'clock, when our despatch left, the score stood as
follows:

ScULLEN.S. RACE FOE £4OO. —A scullers' race for
the above stake was to have been rowed on Saturday from
Putney to Mortlake, between Joseph Sadler, a landsman
of Putney, and Robert Cooper, a landsman of the Red-
heugh, a parish or district of Newcastle-on-Tyne ; but,
unfortunately, as has too often been the case in rowing
matches of late, the affair culminated in a foul, and
amidst a scene of general confusion and divided opinions
was heard a shout " that the referee bad called them
back, and, Cooper not obeying, they had been ordered to
row again at 6on Monday." Be this as it may, the result
is most unsatisfactory to all parties. It was a beautiful
day for a boat race, and had it been rowed out would
probably have been accomplished in the fastest time on
record, as both men were in goo,' condition, and the we
as far as the race went was terrific. They effected a level
start, shortly after which Cooper drawing to the front,
odds were offered on him, and he led by half his length at
the Star and Garter, having won the toes and taken the
Middlesex aide. Sadler drew again near the Duke's Head,
but the north countryman placed nearly another half
length to his credit at Sinimonds'a ; he shortly after drew
clear and came out rather, so as to have his man in a line
behind him. Sadler then came out in the centre, and
having rowed a tremendous race to near the half-mile post,
Sadler got too close, and as he drew up they fouled badly.
Cooper dropped astern awl Sadler went on with the lead,
but a shout of " Come back " being raised, he obeyed, and
Cooper completed the course alone. The Venus (Bain and
Clasper) will leave London-bridge at 4 this day, to accom-
pany the race.
Berns° DISPUTES. —The Committee of Tatter-
sall's were employed yesterday afternoon in deciding a
heavy disputed bet between two noblemen on the late
Derby, and the decision to which they came seems to have
been considered a just and equitable one by those who are
conversant with its merits. Then a motion was brought
on by Lord Charles Fitzroy that no member of the
committee should act in the conduct of a case in which
he had a pecuniary interest, and it being negatived,
that nobleman, as well as Mr. Henry Lowther, withdrew
front the committee. Now, without believing that any
small sum which a member of the committee might have on
a race would cause him to be influenced in his vote on any
disputed case that might come before him officially I can-
not
but consider it most desirable that not even a bowsaw
pathic symptom of excuse should he given to enydissentient
complainant to • court of appeal like that which the com-
muter of Tattersall's must be considered, and therefore
it would have been better if the motion had beau carried.
I do not say that it is requisite to go the extreme length of
Lord Redeadale, who, in naming the committee, in the House
of Lords, is so anxious for their impartiality that, in select-
ing the one for the Eton Gas Bill, he excluded from it any
nobleman that was educated at Eton ; but when we know
the suspicious nature of racing men, and their proneness to
insinuate all sorts of charges against those who make an I
award against them, it is as well the outside public should
have no ground given them for complaint. That the coin-
mittee have lost a valuable member in Mr. Lowther there
is no denying, for be is well versed in racing law, and
that calm and sober temperament which enables
KiTeitrgive to every case that is brought before him the
very fullest consideration, and from his judgment I never
heard of any appeal being made.—" Argue of the pod.
