TATUM/ULU-it —T111:118DAY.
The legitimate racing mason will commence next week at
Northampton, bet, contrary to expectation, this circurn-
sham imparted no activity to business. Although the
' TOM was very numerously attended, the movements were
limited and were marked by no importance.
The Northamptonshire Stakes was brought tinder notice';
by the rapid edraoce of Merrimac, who, having been re-1
ported favourably tried with &Akin and Simla, cams with
I • rush in the City in the morning, and from 20 to 1 offered,
speedily reached Btol, at which price he was backed to
win upwards of a thousand ; 10 to 1 each to ball " • MS' I
tory" was taken about Horror and The Rap ; Sister to St.
Albans appeared on the " go," 12 to 1 being taken and
offered, but the layers appeased the most numerous. King '
of Diamonds was asked alter, and entrusted with a " pony_
at 14 to 1, and 100 to 6 was invested upon Mr. Parr's
Avalanche.

rantly offered on the field, at which price Spanish Fly was
entrusted with a small sum.

upon this event.
THE Two THOUSAND GUMMI STARE..—Klarikoff, con-
ugliest upon the support given to Kettledrum and Lord
Exeter's hone, was not so firm this afternoon as his backers
could wish ;6to 1 being freely offered at the close. A de-
monstration was made in favour of Colonel Towneley's colt,
his opening price being eagerly taken ; and at the close
of the room he was nearly as good a favourite for
money as the Mahon representative ; 7 to I was taken to •
large amount. 10 to 1 each was offered against Sweet Haw-
thorn and Matador, the latter being sup ported for • small
amount. Lord Exeter's Knight of the 'Made was backed
in es:rest-1,000 to 80 was taken several times; his closing
pries, as near as wis could arrive at it, being 11 to 1, taken
to 100/. Diophantus appeared to be out of favour, hie
pies varying with the caprioe of the layers, 12 to 1 at last
beim offered without • reply. The Gardener sod Neigh-

entrusted with n trifle at 1,000 to 36 each.
