TATTERSALL'S.-THURBDAY.
Only two or three members looked in during the after-
noon, and there was not a bet laid.

BETTING IN LONDON.—Tauasm.

A large number of members meembled at the clubs to-
day, but as the result proved, rather front the fact of their
being no fitting sport to attend, than from any special
desire to speculate. The few movements that the day's
proceedings produced were of a negative character—as for
tn.trace at much as 23 to 1 being laid against Thalia and
40 to 1 offered about King of the Fairies for the Cesare-
witch. The positions of the horses in the front rank re-
mained much as before, 9to 1 being taken kindly about
Honesty, 10 to 1 Blinkhoolie, and anything over 100 to 6
Lothario. Fur the Cambridgeshire, Gardensure and Long-
bow colt maintained their places of first favouritism, 20 to
1 was asked for about the first named, while Mr. Hods-
Illatetl unnamed representative would have found a sup-
porter at 1,000 to 44. Julius and Scarborough were each
backed for a little, and beyond this nothing was done. In
the Great Eastern Handicap, 20 to I was offered on the field
without a response. The speculation that took place on the
Derby sas represented by the taking of 20 fifties Blue
Gown, and 40 ponies St. Ronan ; 40 to 1 would have been
accepted about The Earl, but no one offered to lay. The
quotations were as undermentioned :

HENDON AUTUMN MEETING.—THIIRSDAY.
Mr. Warner, the proprietor of the Welsh Harp (Hen-
don), having secured a long lease of a farm belonging to
Mr. Gootichild and adjoining that of the late Mr. Elmore,
judiciously determined to abandon the old track in the
vicinage of his hostelry and take advantage of the new
course at Kingsbury, over which, it will be remembered,
the Grand Metropolitan Steeplechases were held in
December last. Since then this indefatigable caterer for
the public amusement has at considerable expense had
the course much improved and levelled, and that it met
with the entire approbation of owners and trainers was
apparent from the numerous entries and extensive fields
of -horses which went to the post for the various races.
There is no denying that the course is • very great im-
provement on the one at Hendon, which was at any time
liable to be covered with water, indeed to-day the site of
the former grand stand was quite under water, as was also
that of the running ground which skirts the labelet. Be-
sides, the new course has far more attractions, situated as
it is within view of Harrow-on-the-Hill, forming part of
the training ground of the celebrated steeplechaser
Lottery, rendered famous by the exploits of that prince of
cross-country riders Jem Mason. It is intended that
henceforth both the summer and autumn meetings shell be
!leg at Kingsbury, and when the new Midland
Railway, which will run within • mile of the
course, is completed, and the improvements contemplated
by the lessee finished, the meeting will doubtless be one of
the mast popular and best attended gatherings in the metro-
politan circuit. The attendance today was exceedingly
large, there being not less than 3,500 persons present, and
the road to Hendon presented—and on no insignificant
scale either—the appearance of the road to Epsom on the
Day. The racing was good, the fields being large
Derbyn the contests close and exciting, but the issues were
mostly against the backers, who have experienced • series
of reverser lately. Neither of the first winners was backed
for a shilling. In the lest race there was an objection
against the winner—The Guide—for not carrying the pro-
per weight, which will be decided to-morrow. Details are
appended.

EXCURSION OP THE EPPING FOREST PRE-
SERVATION SOCIETY TO LOUGHTON.

In accordance with a bill which had been ex-
tensively circulated in the Fast of London, en excursion of
the members and friends of the Epping Forest Preserva-
tion Society to Loughton and back, by road and rail, took
place on Monday last. An impression had somehow got
abroad that the object of the excursion was to throw
down the *hap which have been erected by Mr. Mait-
land around upwards of thirteen hundred acres of land,
which constitute the manor of Loughton ; and large num-
bers of persons were eager to attend for that purpose. But
the idea of violence being steadily diaoountenanced by the
society, none attended but these who were willing simply
to view the enclosures, and consider what were
the bat means to be taken for their removal.
llt may be stated in explanation, that two suits in
Chancery are pending in relation to these enclosures ; one,
" Willioaele v. Maitland," being in vindication of the
right to lop wood, which has been exercised by the inhabi-
tant.' of the Manor of Loughton from time immemorial.
Some of the Willingale family were summoned on the fith
March, 1866, before the bench of magistrates at Waltham,
for having exercised the right ; and, being ignorant of
legal proceedings, were convicted, and sentenced to a
week's imprisonment and hard labour, which they suffered
accordingly. The llama thing has since been attempted to
be done to some other men ; but the EpOng Forest Pre-
servation Society having, at a considerable expense, aided
them to plead their right, they were acquitted. The other
suit, " Casten v. Maitland," is in vindication of the free-
holders right of common.
The excursionists having roamed about to their hearts'
content through the gates of the enclosed lands (which
during the continuance of these chancery suits cannot be
closed), began to meet in the afternoon on the slope of the
hill by the side of the new schools.
Mr. MAYNARC, of Theydon Bois, was appointed chair-
man ; and delivered en address replete with information
upon the subject of forest and common rights, during which
the elder Willingale (plaintiff in the suit of Willingale v.
Maitland) arrived upon the ground, and was greeted with
loud cheers.
Mr. A. DU/FIELD, of Mile-end, moved the first nteolu-
tier', which was as follows :—" That this meeting views
with indignation the wholesale inclosure of the ancient
waste forest lands, which have always been open to the
free use and enjoyment of the people at large; which in-
closures we look upon as being illegal, as they are unjusti-
fiable. And we hereby pledge ourselves to give our most
strenuous support to the Epping Forest Preservation
Society, in their efforts to support by every legal means
the ancient rights of the people to the use of those lands ;
and to secure those rights to the use and enjoyment of the
people for ever." In proposing the resolution the speaker
impressed upon the meeting the necessity, whilst they re-
solutely maintained their rights, of having recourse to
none but strictly legal means ; and assured them that if
the proper means were taken, and earnest support given to
the society for the preservation of Epping Forest, the
ultimate establishment of three rights was a matter of
. . . _

Mr. J. Reeser, of Longhton, seconded the resolution,
which was supported by Mr. MATHIAM, of Mile-end, and
carried unanimously, amidst loud cheering.
The second resolution was as follows :—" That the
thanks of this meeting are due, and are hereby given to
those gentlemen who have so nobly and generously oome
forward to defend by their personal influence and pecu-
niary aid, the forest and common rights of the people."
In proposing this resolution, Mr. Durrizu) said that
Sir T. F. Buxton, Bart., M.P., and other gentlemen had
been most liberal in their subscriptions and guarantees of
money to carry out the objects of this society. But the
influence of the people generally must be given to this
cause to carry it to a successful issue. If these gentlemen
laid down their hundreds in support of the people's rights,
the people themselves must come forward with their pence,
and their shillings, and their pounds, according to their
means, to prove the interest they take in the movement,
and to provide the sinews of war, to enable the battle to
be fought out to a successful conclusion.
_ _ _

Theresolution was seconded by Mr. W. DAVIS of Mile-
end, who warned the people that they must not rely upon
great names to carry this question for them, but must
take up the matter for themselves if they wished to suc-
ceed. The resolution, like the first, was carried unani-
mously, amidst cheers which made the old woods ring
Ma?. _

-.The proceedings throughout were of the most enthu-
siastic description ; and after having spent a most delight-
ful day the excursionists returned, highly pleased with
their jaunt to " save the forest." A number of new
members were enrolled in the neighbourhood, and steps
were taken for the formation of a local committee at
Lougliton. Some apprehension appears to have been enter-
tained by the authorities lest tbo excursionists should be
maltreated by the inhabitants, as a large body of police,
both horse and foot, were sent down for their protection.
It is pleasing, therefore, to be able to state that the
cockneys were received by the natives with the greatest
possible kindess. The day was, therefore, spent by the
aa by everybody else, in the happiest possible
