BETTING IN LONDON.-(THIS DAY.)

Very little business was doing to-day, and
the Goodwood Stakes monopolised nearly the whole
of the transactions. Gomera was in considerable
demand, freely bucked at 4 to 1, and ultimately no
more than 7 to 2 was procurable. Tibouret, Cannon
Ball, Fitz-lean, and Wallow all proved in request at their
quoted prices. Quotations as follow :

SPORTING NOTES.

THE RULES REsPzeniro DEFAuLTERB.—A gene-
ral meeting of the Jockey Club was held at the New Rooms,
Newmarket, on Wednesday, the following members being
present : Duke of Beaufort, Duke of Newcastle, and
Admiral Roue, stewards ; Mr. Alexander, Lord Annesley,
Mr. Berne, Mr. Batson, Count Batthyany, Lord
Bradford, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. W. 8. Crawfurd, Lord
Falmouth, Mr. G. W. Pitzwilliam, Colonel Low-
ther, Lord George Manners, Mr. Payne, Baron M.
Rothschild, Lord St. Vincent, Mr. &vile, Prince
D. Soltykoff, Lord Stamford, and Lord Westmoreland.
'I he motion of which notice bee been given in the Racing
Calendar was brought forward by Mr. Chaplin, seconded
by Colonel Lowther, and after some discussion and the
addition of a few words to prevent the resolution having
a retrospective effect, it was unanimously passed as
follows :—" That the Jockey Club will not enforce the
penalties imposed by their resolutions of Juno 16, 1868,
for default in bets made after the passing of this resolu-
tion, unless the complaint shall have been lodged with the
committee of the Subscription Betting Rooms at Tatter-
sall's or at Newmarket within three months of the bets
being due."
The dispute in reference to the Bunters' Plate at Wor-
cester was, says the Sporting Ga:clle, submitted to the
stewards of the Jockey Club during the week, and by
them referred; back to the stewards of the Worcester
Autumn meeting, as the proper tribunal to adjudicate
upon it before the Jockey Club can take cognisenoe of the
affair.

St:maw:N.—This French "crack," who has found his
way into the quotations this week for the Goodwood
Cup, has again been stopped in his work, and is not likely
to run at Goodwood, or at any mooting (we learn from Le
Sport) this season.
Tua Mooas.—The Field regrets to hear, on undoubted
authority, that the disease is still rife in Morayshire and
Inverness-shire, and is much aggravated by the want of
water. On one moor, it is said, " more than half of the
young birds are gone for want of water, none surviving
but those hatched near springs or burns." Our contem-
porary's correspondent adds : " You may travel for miles
on the high grounds and not sec a single grouse. In my
opinion, there will not be more than twenty brace killed
by one gun this season. Crops of all kinds are gone here.
I do not know what is to be done for want of fodder."

CRICKET.-177118 .D.elY.)

LORD'S GROUND.
ETON V. ILLP.IIOW.

This morning at 11 o'clock there wore several
thousand persons present to witness the commencement of
play in this interesting match. Within a minute
or two of 11 o'clock, the " not outs," Hay and
Higgins, assumed the defensive once more, Walker and
Giles were bowlers. The younger boys from both
schools attended in large numbers, and their treble
voices rang out lustily, and almost continuously.
Only five runs were added to the score, when
Boy got his leg where his bat should have
been, and Wootton gave him out. The Eton "Goliath"
was welcomed with a cheer on emerging from the pavi-
lion, and the series of drives which he forthwith perpe
trated awoke the echoes of the neighbourhood. His
career was short as it was brilliant, for after making 13
in four hits, a " shooter " took out his middle
stump. Half an hour sufficed to bring the scores
level, and then there was some excellent all-round cricket
exhibited, the game becoming more and more interesting
momentarily. Ottaway and Higgins batted with great
care, and brought on several changes in bowling. The
Harrow boys fielded well. The next ringing cheer was a
dark blue one for a fine ball which carried away Higgins's
leg dump. Ottaway next cut a ball into point's hands.
and not long after Tritton was very neatly caught at the
wicket. A shooter also settled Walter, and the next over
Harris had to retire, his off stump being bowled down by
Walker—both wickets down with the score at 99. Maude
and Longman were together only a brief period, the latter
being well thrown out by Gore from mid-off. Maude was
caught and bowled by Walker. The score at 1 o'clock
was as under :

TOE MINI, Piton 01' WIIITECH.tPEL.-•-The now
famous though modest building in George-yard, White-
chapel, the scene of one of Lord Shaftesbury 's ragged
school triumphs, was last evening devoted to a tea party,
given by the indigent Blind Visiting Society to the poor
blind of the East London district. The guests, both young
and old, of both sexes. numbered over 200, the majority
being totally blind. and at the conclusion of a substantial
repast they were treated to some addresses by Mr. W.
Moseley, who occupied the chair ; the Rev.
Mr. Strickland, incumbent of St. Jude's, White-
chapel •, Judge Payne, lir. Armitage. the founder of the
Whitechapel Home for the Blind, and Mr. Colmer, the
secretary of the society. The speeches were sufficiently
amusing and instructive, particularly that of the assistant-
judge, who concluded with his two thousand four hundred
and first poetical effusion in behalf of the charity; but the
chief attraction for the audience appeared to be the per-
formances of the Bed Lion-square Blind Cbocal
whose singing they much applauded. The society have
parcelled out the metropolis into four divisions, in each of
which they provide a similar annual entertainment. They
have now ti 9 cases under visitation. and last year the
number visited and relieved was 265, being 25 more than
in the preceding year. Thee employ Scripture readers,
conductors to take the blind to church, and instructors in
reading the embossed characters invented by the late
Mr. J. H. Frere.

BRISTOL SUOAR htAuxEr, JULY 10.—There has
been more demand this week, and a fair amount of busi-
WM has been done at rather better prices.
