THE MAI:CH STEEPLECHASE MEETINGS.

TO THE EDITOR OF Till EXPRESS.
Sig,—Great events are coming thick and fast
upon us. and yet that useful adjunct in the promotion of
things turfy, the llritish public, cannot be worked up to a
state of excitement, nearly all the Two Thousand Guineas
and Derby cracks
,going stale in the market for want of
supporters, and t.ie " slaughtermen" finding very few
victims indeed over the handicaps. The recent trial in
connection with Tue Rake has not improved hid character,
seeing Mr. Pryor stated on oath that, when tried just
before his last race, he was beaten by Friponnier at 71b.
The gradual advance of Dragon and Hermit again
has steadied D'Estournel a bit ; and from the style
in which Foresight won the Liverpool Cup, we have
signs already of the opinion of a high authority
being carried out, that the spring running will upset last
year's in a most startling manner. The wintry meeting
at Aintree (where there was Rome heavy wagering, though
the biggest bet laid-10,000 to 5,000 on Plaudit v. Hermit
for the 2,ooo—is oaf) was not such a summer as I antici-
pated, the Grand Military Steeplechases going very
tamely, and few of the legitimate events attracting an
like a good field ; nevertheless, it was as well
attended as ever, uninviting as the weather may have
been, and the Grand National Chase was, as usual, one of
those exciting scenes that would make the fortune of any
meeting. Of course there were numerous disasters in the
race, the majority of the twenty-three starters meeting
with mishaps. inclusive of Astrolabe and Little Frank,
whose backers are to be pitied, as they were thrown out
through no fault of their own. King Arthur and Tenny-
son, on the contrary, blundered or refused in the race,
Thomastown breaking down and the Banker going lame ;
and there was no excuse forShakspeare, who was dead beaten
a long way from home. In fact, my ideas of the event were
carried out to the letter, for not only did "Mr. Barber's
mare (Fan) beat all the novices," but the five I summed
up in favour of consisted of Cortolvin (first), Fan (second),
Shangarry (third), Globule (fourth), and the knocked-
down Astrolabe, whilst in standing solely on one of the
lot to win it was my good fortune to haveCortolvin ! Here
was forestalling the judge with a vengeance, and I little
thought when writing that " the prophet who can foretel
the result, when time chapter of accidents must be such •
heavy one, may thank blasters," my star would lead me on
to such an extraordinary triumph, it being more remark-
able on account of the five being mainly taken from the
ranks, as at the time the selection was made Cortolvin
stood at 14 to 1, Fan at 12 to 1, Shangarry at 33 to
1, and Globule and Astrolabe at 25 to 1 each.
Helen for the Hurdle Race, Lady Pam for the
Mersey Cup, Salliet for the Aintree Plate, and ITlphus
for tee Sefton Handicap, were also recommended at the
same time; so that, taking the great Vandervelde coup
brought of (at 100 to 3) at Lincoln into account, my
labours for '67 have as yet been crowned with an amount
of success as gratifying as it is encouraging. The Duke of
Hamilton wins a good stake by his horse, Cortolvin and the
Beadle 'hosing us his grace is not snob a bad buyer as
many thought six months ago ; and his success no one
could quarrel with, it being far more palatable than that
of Shangarry would have been.
Plenty of steeplechasing is to be witnessed during the
current week, meetings cast, north, and south being ap-
pointed ; and we shall doubtless see many of the Grand
National lot performing in the principal events. Cor-
tolvin is in the Grand Handicap at Melton, but crushed
under 13st 71b. and there is mettle more attractive
in ono of the Grand Military heroes, Tally-ho,
who has much to fear, nevertheless, from Bedale and
the Old Squire. At Chertsey we have Sea King who ran
a good horse last Wednesday in the Grand Open Handicap
at a winning weight, Sir Bobby being in the Stewards' Cup
among • moderate lot, and the Ring is also in for the two
great stakes at Croydon, whereat Cortolvin has only to show
to frighten nearly all the opposition for the Cup. Accept-
ances have to be made for the Grand National Hurdle
Race and Surrey Steeplechase ; but I suppose we shall
see Fan and Sea King in them both ; and for the first-
named, over two miles and a half and ten leaps, the mare
will be very hard to beat, though I fancy the Duke of
Hamilton has a chance with Gamecock or something else,
whilst the lightly-weighted Pirate might even beat Fan.
For the chase we have Cortolvin, Fan, Shangarry, and
Globule again engaged with Little Frank, but the latter
may be all the worse for his fall in the Grand
National, and Cortolvin being so heavily-weighted the
Duke of Hamilton might prefer to stand by one of hie
lOst pair, Gamecock being considered a good horse. Mr.
Studd, again, has Despatch and Clansman in, besides
Shangarry; and from the style in which the former won
his rare on Thursday, he may be as good as his companion
at the weights. Still, there is no doubt Cartolvin
would take his own part again did he not incur a penalty
beforehand, fearing which I must take my stand on Glo-
bule and Despatch, supposing the latter is to do battle for
Mr. Studd.

Ina Handicap Steeplechase at Norwich, Newmarket
may achieve a victory with Reporter ; and headquarters
will probably pretty nearly divide the good things at
Chelmsford. Hero we have the only Hat racing of the
week, concerning which—the four two-year-old spins
being quite in a fog—l can only hint that James Dawson
looks well for both the closed handicaps with Noma Porn-
pants or Musician, though my old friend Vandervelde
must be backed for the Chelmer, where Saccharometer
will also take some beating.—l am, Lc., METEOR.

BETTING IN LONDON.—IIATCHDAT AregnitOON.
A large number of members were present at the clubs to-
day, end a fair amount of business was transacted For the
city ani Suburban Wild Agnes was elected first favourite,
100 to 7 being accepted pretty freely. Aldcroft and Thalia were
the two next, at 00 to I each, hut these odds were subsequently
offered without a response. Jasper and Ostreger were both In
request, and found support at 1006 to 30. Weather Star was
enquired after, and would have been befriended at 40 to 1, but
the layers' limit was some points less. After beating about the
bush, Lonirchnen wa. hacked at 33 to I, and immediately after-
wards 40 to I was taken and offered. Clarice was sent beck
to 60 to 1, while Brown Tommy and Jollity found their
way to the 100 to 1 division. Yor the Metropolitan
100 to 6 was offered on the Field, and for the North-
amptonshire Stakes John Dacia was quoted at 100 to it
The Charter Cup kept up its character Per dukiess.
Newland and Dolby were offered to be laid against at 10 to 1
each, and the desire to operate against the last-named wages-
privially apparent. Two outsiders--Harry Braileford and Skir-
mish—were hacked at 1.1100 to 15 each, and an offer was made to
take Lord Westruorian.Te lot at 12 to 1, which produced another
offer of 11 to 1, but neither side would give up the contested
point, and no blow was struck. Yor the Two Thousand, Plaudit
maintained his position with exceeding firmness : 4 to 1 was the
highest offer against him, and a shadeover this price would have
secured plenty of custom. Julius was Decked to a moderate ex-
tent at 6to 1, but towards the close these odds went
b
Vauban wee friendless at 10 to I. The •• Hermit fever entirelyeS'
subsided to-day, Mr Chaplin's colt travelling quickly to 100 to
g, and although he found friends at intermediate stages, and
the latest offer against him al not exceed 100 to 11, he held an
equivocal position, by no means Improved by the repeated offers
of 7to 4, and even 2to 1 that he did not start. Simultaneously
with the Hermit's retrogression, his stable companion,
Knight of the Getter, advanced, and all the 20's obtainable were
taken about him. At these odds the General was also backed,
and at one time 100 to 6 was accepted. Trocadero was in force,
1000 to 25, 1000 to 30, and finally 3000 to 100 being taken about
him. Foresight, who displayed such excellent form at Liverpool,
was made the medium of a good outside investment. Specula-
tion on the Derby was singular in this respect, that the name of
the much.talked of Rake was never once mentioned. After 10 to
1 had beengoingbnigingfor sornetlmeahoul lYratournel,aspecu-
lator stepped In and took 1000 to 100, desiring togo on at the same
Agars. Hermit, who In the opinion of the learned win start for
this race, and nut for the Two Thousand, was hacked at as little
era 104 to 1. An offer of 13 to 1 against Dragon was met by a
counter proposition to accept 1000 to 70. The odds of 25 to 1
were ,Iffen.d against Julius, and Foresight was again brought
into favourabie notice, intio to 14 being booked about this
hitherto obscure one. The closing prices ruled as follows:

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY.

The report of the directors of this company states
that on the Ist of November last the directors, in concur-
rence with the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, re-
duced the urine of transmission from W. to 101. for each
memo of 20 words, and the revenue receipts under the
reduced tariff compare favourably with those enjoyed under
I the higher charge. The question of a still further reduc-
tion of charges is still under discussion. The actual gross
receipts from the working of the cables from the opening
of the communication with America on the 20th July last
to the present date have averaged 8131. per day, including
Sundays. At this rate of revenue, after deducting the
charges of other companies, working expenses, interest
on bonds, and dividend to the Anglo-American Telegraph
Company, there should remain at the end of the financial
year a surplus in favour of the Atlantic Telegraph Com-
pany of about 35,000/., but as the revenue account cannot
be made up until the Anglo-American Telegraph Company
have first secured their profit for the year, amounting to
125,000/., the board have not been able to present any
detailed statement of earnings to the present meeting.
The directors, while treating of this subject, have again to
remind the shareholders that unless some previous arrange-
ment can be made, the liabilities at present outstanding
on capital account will for the time being absorb the
whole of any balance that may remain to the credit of
revenue. The shareholders have already been informed by
circular of the unsuccessful attempts of the board to obtain
a renewal fora term of the mortgages held by the contrac-
tors, and now falling due, up to a tool of 100,0001. These
mortgage debentures bear on the face of them an annual
interest of 5 per cent., but the directors, in order to make
them more acceptable to the purchasers, have undertaken
to forego a sum appropriated under the agreement with
the Anglo-American Telegraph Company, to the payment
of themselves and the office expenses, in order to race the
per-tentage of interest to 74 per cent. per annum, at which
latter rate, added to the fact of the debentures being in
themselves an excellent security, the directors have
offered them with confidence as an eligible investment.
In addition to these mortgages, the Telegraph Construc-
tion and Maintenance Company have also entered an
attachment in the Lord Mayor's Court of London for
19,504/. 10s. 4d., which has been served upon the Anglo-
Amei :can Company, restraining the latter from giving up
possession of any property of the Atlantic Telegraph Com-
pany passing into their hands. The principal difficulty of
the company, however, at the present moment, consists in
placing the balance of overdue debentures not yetd
of, and this is a matter very much in the handsdtr:re
shareholders, upon whom the directors again desire to
press the fact that their interests will be much promoted by
sedating them to dispose of the remainder of these securities.
The interest on these bonds is a first charge upon all the
revenue from the two excellent cables now in perfect work-
ing order, and the bondholders have a lien for the principal
upon the 1865 cable, as well as against all revenue &wrung
to the Atlantic Telegraph Company. They will be con-
veyed by deed of assignment, free of all expense for stamp
and fees to the new holders, and will be accompanied by
interest coupons at the rate of 7) per cent, per annum,
payable half-yearly, on presentation at the offices of the
company. In accordance with the authority granted by
the shareholders at the extraordinary meeting of Septem-
ber last, the directors have applied to parliament for
further capital and powers, for the purpose of enabling
the company to release the revenue from the charges at
present payable to the Anglo-American Telegraph
Company.
