ceiving. The town settling will take place at Tatter-
sall's next Saturday afternoon ; an opportunity will at
the same time be afforded fur comparing bets on the

her in the betting on the One Thousand, 2 to 1 was laid
freely on her ; 6 to 1 offered against any other.

The muster on the Heath was of an average strength ;
the sport was scanty and only of passing interest.
