SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY.
A fine performance of Israel in Egypt was given
bat night, with the advantage of Mr. Sims Reeves' singing
in the tenor solos ; few in this oratorio but important in
effect. mr. Costa, who wu to have conducted, was
absent ; having beer recommended by his medic►l advisers
to abstain yet a little longer from professional exertion
after his recent illness. Mr. Banton efficiently supplied
his place as on various similar previous occasions.
St. Pout is to be given at the next concert on Feb-
ruary 11, when it is hoped Mr. Costa will be sufficiently
well to resume his accustomed pod as conductor.

BETTING IN LONDON.-FRID&Y.

There was another large muster at the clubs to-day, and
ipectilation, taking rather a wide range, was actively pur-
sued throughout the morning. Wagering on the Lincoln-
shire Li..:alicap commenced by the Wring of 100 to 8
about Eleg Charming. and so freely was he supported.
that in a very short time the price was reduced to 10 to 1,
and after about 1001. had been got on at this prior, no
more than 9to 1 was offered on the Held. Evidently,
however, the COrnitliSsi in was not nearly exhausted, and
the investments would have been increased by another
hundred or so bad bookmakers been disposed to con-
cede the extra point- Czar was in pretty good demand,
but hacker. would accept nothing less than 100 to 6,
which was booked three or four times, as also 500 to 30.
The names of Bessie Dixon and Midwife were men-
tioned, hut beyond offers of Ifto to 6 and 3:Ito 1 respectively
nothing was dune :.boot them. Mount Palatine—Count
Batthy s "second string"—teemed to be fancied
a little, ono spezulater taking 400 to 10, and a
few email bets being booked on the same
terms. Although nu important change took place
ou Cee Live: pool Crmol National, the betting
wAs not wanting is interest and spirit. Tusculantuu
was nein all the r.ge ; his intending backers were, how-
ever, taken aback by offers of 10 to 1. Eventually 100
to it was laf l to small allots, but this price was not to be
obtained to money, and those who dial the commission
world douldle.s have closed with 12 to 1. Notwithstand-
ing the string favoutinam io this direction, however, the
written% of Fan and Sh.dtespeare were rather improved
than prejudiced. After several attempts had been wade
to obt,in lie) to 6 about Mr. Barber's mare, 15 to 1 was
take', to some RP. With Shakespeare layers were a
trill: more cenci:iatory, for after 11 to 1 had been re-
peatc.'.ly offered without a response, the 10Ws .: stoked

still w-oted to he token at the close. Daisy wit well
revive:led at 2 . to 1, while The Plover and Tennyson
same ni for a fair share of notice at 23 to 1 each. In the
face of Fen's prominent favouritism, a speculator
elected to stand by her stable-companion, Helen,
accepting 40 ponies au.l 4I tens. One gentleman trying
hard to invest can C..ptAiu Croestree at 40 to 1 could only
succeed in Ip:coring that price, but declined the
30 offered him. The remaining transactiona on this
event ,lo not call for mentioc. Speculation on tLe Chester
