BETTING ROOM, NEWMARKET, WEDNESDAY,
MAY 19. TWELYE o'Cr.ocK.

-
The betting since yesterday has experienced a very considerable
change. Scrab (Jesse). for the Derby, still continues a rising
favourite, having moved forwards a good ballpoint, and offers to
heavy amounts truly taken at only 3i to I against him. Most of
the other Derby colts have either moved upwards or gone back in
some degree. Cobweb and Rebecca, for the Oaks, have given way
a little, and Lord O. If. Cavendish's two fillies and Viscountess
have c-ept tip. Full particulars of the present state of odds will be
found as under:—

taken freely to large sums.
Nothing done worth notice on the Doncaster St. Leger.

Capt. Swann undertook his tandem match yesterday, from Il-
ford, seven miles over part of the forest. He er.gaged to drive 12
miles at a trot within an hour for 100 sovereigns, and to back his
wheels if he broke into a gallop. This happened only once, in the
' seventh mile, which he Nevertheless completed in thirty-three mi-
nutes. On his return, the pacing together of the horses was a pic-
ture. The match was won easily, with two minutes and six se-
conds to spare.
OXE HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SIT lit 11. ES IN FORTY-EIGHT

ouas.-Our information left the pedestrian West at desk an
Monday evening a mile from Woodstock (83), on his way to Hour-
ton-on-the-Hill, Gloucestershire, on his match for MO • s.
He started at two o'clock in the morning, and reached half the is-
tame at half-past eleven at night, and returned, on his way back to
Chipping Norton ; and after-halting and taking refreshment, he
left himself scventy-four miles to perform in rather more than the
next twenty-four hours. He passed through Osford before sin
o'clock in the morning, and halted again at Wheatley. At W 7.
comb he went to bed, and left himself twenty.eight miles to do In
seven hours. He never felt any material fatigue until he reached
Hayes. but having plenty of time on his hands, he reached the
place of his destination much fatigued, in twelve minutes wiikin
the given time.
