The first race being " set" for two o'clock, ample time
was allowed for the business of settling. Complaints of the
scarcity of money were, however, heard on all sides ;
and indeed the settling, so far as it went, was most un-
satisfactory, Two persons received a large sum of money
early in the morning, and absented themselves from their
creditors almost immediately afterwards. Several are
very heavy losers ; but until the general settling day
at Tattersall's, on Monday next, it is impossible to
speak with any degree of accuracy as to the "hit and
missing."
