SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

TATTERSALL'S, LAST EVENING.

This afternoon witnessed as numerous a gathering of the
right sort of racing men as ever the lawn could boast of on
any like occasion; but although it was conceded that there
never was more money in the market for speculation, it was
also admitted that the investments were disproportionate.
The favourites were all firm, and yet the afternoon had
worn on considerably before the medium began to circulate
with freedom. General Peel and Cambuscan were im-
movable at 5 to 1 and 6 to 1 respectively, but at half a
point more each they readily met with support—in the few
instances where an opportunity was given. There could
be no manner of doubt as to the genuineness of the Birch
Broom commission, which was repeated to-day to some tune,
and after all available B's to 1 were picked up—on the quiet
—to some £6OO or £7OO, 7 to 1 was the highest price
obtainable : Scottish Chief again showed marked signs of
coming to his old price in the betting, 8 to 1 being taken
kindly at the finish, his owner, among other bets, having
taken 2000 to 1800 that Scottish Chief beat Cambuscan.
Blair Athol was up and down as usual, inasmuch as that at
the commencement of business as little as 10 to 1 was taken;
but in the course of the day 100 to 8 was laid several times,
and 1300 to 100 once, 90 to 20 being accepted about a situa-
tion. Paris, Coastguard, and Baragah were all "off," as
was also Ely, about whom, however, 20 to 1 was booked to
about V.OO. Lord Glasgow's "second string" was very
frequently inquired after, 1000 to 30 and 30 to 1 being the
prices at which his backers were mostly accommodated, 28
to 1 being his closing price (offered). Historian and Valiant
were quite out of form. Towards the close of business a
little change-ringing took place with Ackworth and Copen-
hp gen, 40 to 1 being taken kindly about the former, while
the "old Cope" was friendless at 33 to 1. The last bet laid
was 1500 even on Ackworth against Copenhagen, which
may afford some sort of key to the place-betting on the
defeated, but not disgraced, son of Fazzoletto, his "party"
having also gone a " raker" to win. Closing prices :

Weight—colts, 1081bs ; fillies, 1051bs. Distance-2,400
metres (a mile and a half). 55 subs.

M. Delamarre's Bois Roussel (Flatman) 1
M. Lunel's Affidavit..
Mr T. Carter's Civility
M, Schickler's Poudriere
The following also ran:—Ninon de l'Enclos, Bayard,
Tortocolis, Beatrix, Commega, Sonchamp, Boucioaut,
Arcturus, and Scesvola.
Betting-5 to 4 agst Bois Roussel, 4to 1 agst Beatrix, 6
to 1 each agst Bayard and Comme-ca, 12 to 1 agst Ninon
de l'Enclos, 15 to 1 each agst Affidavit and Arcturus, 25 to
1 agst any other.
The lot got away well in a line, but by the time they had
gone over the quarter of a mile which separates the starting
post from the stands, had settled down into places. Bou-
cicaut at this moment led, with Bayard coming next, then
Ninon, Comme-ca, Arcturus, Bois Roussel, and Beatrix, in
the order named, the last three being Poudriere, Torticolis,
and Civility. After passing the booths Bayard mastered
his jockey and rushing to the front took a lead of six or
eight lengths, which he maintained for a short time, and
then suddenly shut up, and went to the rear. Along
the road before the villas the only incident was the gradual
working up of Civility and Poudriere, who had hitherto
been running at the tail. After passing the stables the
four leading horses formed a line abreast across the course,
with Bois Roussel running a couple of lengths behind. The
quartette were, however, beaten in ascending the hill, and
by the time they had reached the corner were no longer in
the race. Bois Roussel, who had been running steadily
biding his time, now found himself almost alone in front,
the only horses near him being Affidavit, Ninon, and Bea-
trix. Along the straight the pace which had before been
good, slackened, and the position then remained the same up
to within 200 yards of the stand. Affidavit was then seen
to make an effort, and in a moment was alongside of Bois
Roussel. For a moment M. Lunel's colt showed in front,
but Flatman, with an application of the whip, again
brought the favourite up to the mark ; the lead was re-
covered, and Bois Roussel increasing his advance up to the
post passed a winner by a length and a half. Civility and
Poudriere passed Ninon and Beatrix at the stands, and came
in third and fourth, Mr. Carter's filly finishing a couple of
lengths in the Affida -it, and Poudriere a length behind
Civility. Beatrix and Ninon were fifth and sixth, and the
rest scattered over the course anywhere. Value of the
stakes 52,000 fr„ deducting 2,000 fr, for the second.

AMERICAN BONNETS._Tbe present War has
developed rather than bridled extravagance in the

United States; and the demo!
description, jewelry, diamonds, silks, and
exchanges drain the country of its
reason, think the fashionable ladies
of New York, why gold is laces, never seems
The most exquisite of these come
to have been greater.

more precious still; and—in humble imitation of the
women of 1776, who gave up tea in order
not to pay tribute to a British tyrant—the New York
and Boston women of 1861 have signed a self-denying
ordinance which ought to make them famous among
the posterities. Tho badge to be worn by the
delicate Covenanters is a black bee, We know from the
greatest of historians that the women of Attica used to
wear a grasshopper in their hair—the grasshopper being au
emblem of native and aboriginal pride, The bee symbo-
lises perhaps an idea of the same kind, with the further
idea of female industry engrafted upon it, Unlike the wo-
men of Attica, the Covenanters, however, wear their bee
not on the head, but upon the shoulder. It was felt that
a bee in the bonnet was not the kind of symbol young
ladies who are studying political economy would wish, if
they could avoid it, to adopt. Why the bee should he black
admits of several excellent explanations. The hue
is, doubtless, a sign of devotion to the cause of the negro.
A black bee is, so to speak, a nigger bee, which ought to
regarded by white bees with affectionate sympathy, as being,
after all, a bee and a brother, in spite of differences of
colour.—L9ndon Revicw.
