THE DEEM

The symptoms() f decline betrayed by Defender on Monday were
aggravated by the offers made against him yesterday, II to 1, not-
withstanding a pony was laid out upon him, having gone begging
nearly the whole of the afternoon. Dardanelles and Wintenian
were a shade less in favour than \when last quoted, and no one re-
sponded to an offer of 25 to I agat Rare-up. Clifton was backed
for fifty pounds at the old price, which was afterwards offered.
One Igkt of 1,001) to 30 was laid against i:imbo, but the general
offers. against him did not exceed 25 to 1. These were all the
changes that resulted from the few engagements made on horses
hitherto in the market. The field, however (already unusually
strong in number), was increased by the appearance, for the first
time, of Caravan (colt out of Wings) and Young Mouse.

Management have placed three Polish swans upon the lake
in St. James's Park. They are fine birds—rare in this
country. In shape and general appearance the Polish swan
closely resembles the wild swan or hooper. The bill which,
in the common swan, is red, is, in the Polish, white or flesh-
coloured ; its legs are gray instead of black, and its cygnet
is white instead of grey. This last characteristic is pecul►ar
to the Polish swan ; every ether species of which the adult
bird is white being in the cygnet invariably grey.
