Dr. O'Toole came in with a ru,h to the fore, and was
backed for some money. Aldford was also in consider-
able force. Nothing done about Newminster. During
the morning good progress was made in paying and re
ceiving. The town settling will take place at Tatter-
sall's next Saturday afternoon ; an opportunity will at
the same time be afforded for comparing bets on the
Chester Cup.
The safe arrival of Virago had the effect of advancing
her in the betting on the One Thousand, 2 to 1 was laid
freely on her ; 6 to 1 offered against any other.
The weather was cloudy; -but pleasantly mild and dry.
The muster on the Heath- was of an average strength ;
the sport was scanty and only of passing interest.
