Very little betting.

Limited as has been the interest attaching to the sport
of the previous days, that of to-day has been even less...-
indeed, the meeting of Buckstone and Zetland in the after-
noon was quite refreshing, as a contrast to the second and
third-rate animals which had run in the Handicaps and
Plates during the morning. The severe race run yester-
day by Buckstone disposed many to think that the last
year's Doncaster running would be reversed, and that Zet-
land would have an easy victery; but, on the contrary,
Mr. Merry's horse won quite as easily as he was defeated
by Stradella. The Imp ()tutu match made overnight be.
tween Bandage and Bay of Tunis caused also some little
excitement, as it was supposed that " Mr. Newland,"
though a little out of practice, was quite good enough in
the saddle to avoid neutralising the superiority which the
public form of Bandage was calculated to give. As it
turned out, however, Mr. Rowland slipped him at the start
fully 10 lengths, and never gave him the slightest chance.
With these two exceptions, it is quite needless to refer in
any way to the day's proceedings, which were witnessed by
a very small number of spectators.

bottom Agneta was disposed of, and speedily dropped into
the extreme rear, leaving the lead with Balder, who at the
turn of the lands was joined by Ellengowan and Harlequin,
the three coming on nearly abreast for a few strides, when
Mr. Ward's colt broke down badly and was out of the race,
leaving Harlequin, Innellan, Canwell, Welcome, Citadel,
and Earl of Surrey in attendance upon Balder to the Duke's
Stand post, where he was beaten, and the lead left to Har-
lequin, who was followed on the lower ground by Innellan,
and Canwell and Welcome on the upper Fide, the four run-
ning in close company to the end, Mr. Savile's colt winning
very cleverly by three parts of a length; two lengths be-
tween the second and third, and a like distance separating

presentative with the lead, who was joined at the Bushes-
hill by Macaroni and the Senorita colt, who ran into the
bottom nearly together, but on rising the hill Valentine de-
clined, and was immediately headed by Macaroni and Lord

MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUE.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at New-
market, after the races, on Wednesday—present, Lord Ports- '
mouth and Admiral Rous (stewards), Mr. Alexander, Mr.
Barne, Count Batthyany, Mr. W. G. Craven, Mr. Greville,
Sir J. Hawley, Mr. R. H. Neville, Mr. Payne, Mr. Saville,
Lord Stamford, Lord Strathmore, Lord Westmoreland, and
Lord Winchilsea;

His Royal Highness the Prince of Orange was unani-
mously elected a member of the club without a ballot.
The accounts for the year ending Dec. 31, 1862, having
been presented and passed, C. Alexander, Esq., was ap-
pointed a steward in the place of the Earl of Portsmouth,
who retired by rotation.
Lord Portsmouth was appointed a member of the Ben-
tinck Fund Committee, in the place of Mr. Payne, who re-
tired by rotation. The committee now consists of Lord
Coventry, the Hon. Admiral Rous, and Mr. Alexander
(Stewards of the Jockey Club), the Duke of Richmond,
Lord Chesterfield, the Duke of Beaufort, and Lord Ports-
mouth.

The proposal to alter the amount of the annual subscrip
tion of members of the Jockey Club was not brought for,
ward.

Admiral Rous having brought forward his motion for
the alteration of Rule 42, which was seconded by Lord
PORTSMOUTH, Sir J. HAWLEY proposed to add some
clauses ; these were agreed to by Admiral Rous, and after
some discussion it was resolved that the rule should stand
thus :

" 42. The starter has authority to order the jockeys to
draw up in a line as far behind the starting post as he may
think necessary, and any jockey disobeying the orders of the
starter, or taking any unfair advantage, shall be punished
by fine or suspension, according to the nature and degree
of his offence, at the discretion of the stewards. No jockey
can be suspended unless the case has been heard by the
three stewards, and in the absence of any of the stewards a
member or members of the Jockey Club shall be deputed
to act for the steward or stewards absent. The punishment
inflicted shall not be declared till after the last race of the
day. A sentence duly passed upon a jockey cannot be re-
mitted by the stewards without the authority of a general
meeting of the Jockey Club. The starter is prohibited
from making a running start—the horses must walk up, and
be started from a walk ; and if the starter from negligence
or inattention allows a start to take place on the wrong side
of the starting post, he shall be fined a sum of money not
exceeding £5O, and the start shall be declared null and
void."

THE MILEAGE DUTIES.

DEPUTATION TO THE CHANCELLOR OF THE
EXCHEQUER.

Yesterday a deputation of coach proprieters in town and
country had au interview with the Chancellor of the Ex •
chequer at his office in Downing-street, for the purpose of
urging upon the right hon. gentleman the propriety of tak-
ing into consideration the subject of the mileage duties with
a view to their being abolished, and the levying a tax or
license duty upon stage coaches or omnibuses, so as to put
such carriages on an equality, as regards taxation with rail•
ways, tramways, and other modes of land transit. The
members of the deputation were—Messrs. E. Folwell, Bris-
tol ; W. Brown, Preston ; J. L. Thornton, Lincoln ; R.
Eyres, Blandford ; J. Costelow, Richmond ; R. R. Hughes,
Bayswater ; Making, Kew ; Law, Church, Armami, Laver,
Martelli, Crews, London ; and Mr. J. E. Bradfield, agent ;
and they were introduced by Mr, Bramley Moore, M.P.,
who said that other members of Parliament would have
been present but for the circumstance of the recess.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho had re••
ceived and carefully considered the memorial which had
been forwarded to him on the subject. It put the case clearly
enough, and what he now wished to have were practical
facts bearing on the general statement.
Mr, BRADFIELD said that the short point of the memorial
was that the proprietors of stage coaches and omnibuses
were charged with a mileage duty of Id. per mile both ways,
whether they carried passengers or none, whether they
earned money or not. On a former occasion the Chancellor
of the Exchequer admitted that there was something objec-
tionable in the mileage duty.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—Can you suggest
a better basis on which the duty may be fixed ?

Mr. BRADFIELD said they had slightly modified the pro-
posal in the memorial. If there was competition it ought
to be equal, but under the act of 1842, which was intended
to place them on an equality with railways, the railway
companies paid a tax of about three per cent., whilst the
coach proprietors in the country paid about 14 per cent.,
and in London la per cent.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—The memorial
says nine per cent.

Mr. BRADFIELD-Mr. Hughes, a proprietor of 12 omni-
buses, received in 1861 £10,274, on which he paid £l,lOO in
licence and mileage duty, and in 1862 he received £12,490,
on which the duty paid was £1,227.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said ho thought

there was a fallacy in comparing the figures of railway
companies with those of coach proprietors, because the rail-
wa companies made the roads with their own capital.

Mr. BRADFIELD referred to the case of steamboats, which
were not taxed.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER had no objection
to having steamboats taxed. He was no friend to exemp-
tions. He bad been sly years Chancellor of the Exchequer,
and he never proposed an exemption to the House of Com-
mons. He had made many proposals for abolishing

exemptions.
Mr. BRADFIELD then urged that the tax operbaated
eumna-
justly in London, where the metropolitan railwaysta a conic

into competition with omnibuses; andlain w
where the proprietors of vans evaded the law

extremely difficult to enforce. In the west of England,
faom Bristol to Penzance, the same thing took place.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER inquired if any
calculation had been made as to the effect of the proposed
scale on the revenue.
Mr. BRADFIELD said the loss to the revenue was calcu-
lated at about £60,000, supposing that there was no increase,
but in Preston and other places they were only waiting for
the decision of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to determine
whether they would give increased coaching accommodation,
so that ultimately there would be little or no loss at all.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he did not
deny there was force in some of the objections urged, but the
difficulty was to fix a better basis. The plan proposed by
e
the deputation should have his best consideration. Th
right hon. gentleman further stated, in reply to Mr.
Bram-
Icy Moore, that the question of occasional licences should
not be forgotten in the legislation of the year.

for his courtesy, they withdrew.
