In the morning 6 to 1 was taken to upwards of
2,0001. about Lord of the Isles, and 10 to 1 to 2001.
about Dirk Hatteraick, for the Derby.
Until nearly 2 o'clock, the time appointed for the first
race, paying and receiving was the chief business at-
tended to, but until after the town settling on Saturday
next at Tattersall's we shall . not, for obvious reasons,
attempt to "report progress." It however, beyond
a doubt that on the side 4.f Lord of the Lies the aggre-
gate winnings are immense ; and, per contra, the losses
on the bide of St. Hilbert are immense.

The heath this afternoon presented a striking contrast
to its thronged and animated appearance on the previous
day. The attendance of company was small, th'e racing
unimportant, and the•weather cloudy and very cold.
