" No man of sense, the smoothest tongue
Can e'er convince, there's nothing wrong:
And, it there's something wrong, pray, why,
To make it right, should we not try?"
Sir JOHN RAMSAY.
" There his high motto shines reveal'd,
Ready, aye, ready for the field."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

accordance with a notice I gave in No. 8
of these notes, I have now a word or two to say on the
" Sporting Houses," expressly for the benefit of racing
country cousins, and the numerous dabblers in the odds,
to be found in " the village," (as London has been
facetiously termed), as well vs in every nook and corner
of the sporting Isle of Albion.
During the last year or two there has sprung into
existence, among that class of men, who'Crop

culations, all well and good; but if, on the contrary, they
get bit to any extent, the " list " disappears, and the pro-
prietor, you're informed by the publican, or whatever the
owner of the house may be, has found London too con-
fined for his health, therefore is taking the benefit of the
country air.

This game has been practised to a great
extent of late, and it is in consequence
of the complaints of the victimized, that I
now intend to lay before you, by way of antidote, a list
of such houses a; I know, from ocular and aural demon-
stration, may be considered SAFE; although, be it
understood, there are doubtless many others of whom I
know nothing, where the " lists" may be conducted in
as honourable a manner as at those houses whose names
I give below. Foremost on the list stands Searle's,
Salisbury Tavern, Strand; and Burr's, Windsor Castle,
Long-acre, the leviathan bookmakers' head-quarters; at
one or other of these houses Mr. Davis may be found
any evening, and nearly any other time. This gentleman
is a remarkable instance of what may be accomplished
by perseverance and unwearied assiduity in the pursuit
of any one object. I remember him when he was among
the smallest of small bookmakers, and that not many
years ago; the case is altered now, he is the first specu-
lator on the turf. Next on the list may be placed 1!a d

Mt. E. Manning posts his lists; Davall's, Bride-lane,
Fleet-street; Middleton's, Long-acre

88, Thames-street; at each of which and humpon r,
_houses lists are
posted on nearly every race, great and small.
Besides the before-mentioned houses there are the
following :—Jefferias, Garnault-Place, Clerkenwoll,
whose lists are also posted at Marriott's, Skinner-street,
Snow-hill;
Willis's, King-street, Newgate- street ;
Fisher's, 126, Aldergate-street; Turpin's, King-street,
Covent-gardf-n ; Cioger's Bride-lane, Fleet-street;
Mae

Tavern, Dover-road; Snewing's British Stores, Well's_
street, Oxford-street; King's, Rose Tavern, Farringdon-
street; Harding s, Newgate-street; Merritt's, bottom of
Holborn-hill (W. Slater's lists); Collins's, 76, Lor.g-acre,
where, as well as at Mann's, 120, Lower Marsh, and at
Finch's, Cooper's Arms, Rosomon- street, Clerkenwell,
you can be accommodated with the odds from one
shilling upwards; Brown's, Bowling-green-lase, Clerk-
enwell, and many others that I know nothing about, but
should I fell in with any, I may communicate their names
at some future period.
The running at York has materially altered the aspect
of the Dchicaster St. Leger; Honeycomb's defeat by
Elthiron, in the race for the Ebor St. Leger, and by a
trio, including Westow in the Great Yorkshire Stakes,
