The racing this afternoon derived extraordinary in-
terest from the match between Bet hunter and Clincher,
notwithstanding an impression prevailed almost until
the numbers were made up, that from the enormous
amount at stake—said to be 20,0001—it would not bo
run. However, it did come off, and, alter one of the
most exciting struggles ever witnessed, terminated in a
dead head. The race for the Glasgow Stakes was re-
' markable for the fluctuations in the betting, ari-ing from
a report that Broth,n. to Epirote was "off." It was a
very near thing. Pitsfcrd having been walked over for
the 50 sovs. Stakes, the other events, although they pro-
duced excellent sport, did not excite much interest.
Two cases came before the Stewards to-day ; the first
arose out of the mistake in putting up the winner's
,umber, Sir S. Spry having claimed the stake on the
ground that the decision having been given could not
be recalled. The Stewards decided that the Judge
eas justified in correcting the mistake. The other
case was of considerable importance, the Handicap
Plate, for Nthich Mounseer came in first on Wednesday,
having ben claimed by the owner of Sir Gilbert on the
ground that he had been tried with Wanota, and with-
out the trial being entered in the book. It was alleged
by the Mounseer party that the horse had not " gal-
lopped" with Wanota, the latter being in his clothes,
and that they did not carry any specified weight,
or ,run any specified distance. This case came on
after the races, when, on Lord Clifden declaring that
he riders had not been weighed, that the horses had
only gallopped across the flat, the objection was with-
drawn.

LONDON ♦ND NORTII-WESTERN RAILWAY.—Third
class passengers by the London and North-Western will
be glad to learn that considerable improvements are to
be carried out at the Bletchley station on this line,where
all the Parliamentary trains have to stop an hour and a
half. The accommodation is to be increased and refresh-
ment rooms provided, in lieu of the present public, house.
WEST FLANDERS RAILWAT.—It is expected that
the profits of working this line during the past half year
will amount to about 2,000/., and allow of a dividend of
is. 6d. per share, although it is not expected that more
than Is. or Is, 3d. per share will he divined. This result
has been brought about by the exercise of the strictest
economy in every department, otherwise it is probable
there would have been a loss instead of a profit.

SOUTH EASTERN RAILWAY.—This company have
just removed from their old offices to a new and more
commodious suite recently erected, in connexion with
their North Kent Railway terminus, on the right hand
side of the London-bridge station. The Brighton Rail-
way Company hare taken the offices vacated by the
South-Eastern, who are about to build some large goods
warehouses at their Bricklayers' Arms' station, in the
Old Kent-road.

LEICESTER TRADE.—The demand continues steady
and good for all kinds of hosiery, gloves, and fancy
articles. Wools and yarns remain without alteration;
cotton and thread are higher, and further advanceo are
anticipated,—Leicester Mercury.
