" See the course throng'd with gazers—the sports are begun ;
What confusion !—But hear, I'll bet you, Sir—done !
Ten thousand strange rumours resound far and near ;
Lords, Hawkers, and Jockey's assail the tir'd ear !"
The Chester Trades Cup of 1836 is at length decided ; upwards
of a million of that. sterling sort of stuff which sets the world aping
has changen hands, and several who were in the secret of Tan-
worth's superiority, have reaped a golden harvest. Never was
there a race that excited so much speculation, even from the noble-
man down to the stable boy ; every gentleman and trainer who
had a horse in the race felt certain of success. If you asked any
party what they thought of their horse, the answer was—" What
can beat us?—we are all right; we shall be there or thereabouts."
In fact every horse was a favourite, each having strong parties
laying thousands upon the issue of this most important affair,
which was to be the talisman for future events. The Derby, Oaks,
and Great St. Leger Stakes, never outshone in the annals of sport-
ing the ono that has come off on the banks of the Dee. The
tradesmen of this ancient city may well glory in such an event ; 15
horses starting for their noble gift, and, that all in specie too.
Chester may now boast of being able to lend a hand to assist their
brethren of the turf in handieaping ; Weatherby and Tattersalls
may, indeed, decline altogether ever attempting to vie with the
sportsmen of this famous old city.
" At' the word off '—that anxious well-known sound,
The coursers start, and scour along the ground."

3 drew and paid 10 sovs. forfeit each—, and—deelared and paid 9
sovs. each. 3 to 1 against Bed Rover, 6 to 1 Jupiter, 7 to 1
Usury, 8 to I Jacob Faithful, 10 to 1 Tanworth, Ilillinge, Turban,
the Stag, and Altamont,:ls to 1 Amurath, and '2O to 1 against any
other. After four false starts, and Jacob Faithful breaking away
twice, Miss Charlotte had the lead, but it was immediately taken
from her by Tomes's g. ; Stockport, Red Rover, and Tanworth
lying well in. At the Castle-pole, last time round, Red Rover and
Tanworth singled themselves out and contested the remaining dis-
tance, when the latter won very cleverly by two lengths. Ran in
4 minutes 45 seconds.

AT TATTERSALL'S.—In our report of the Oaks betting on
Monday, Fair Jane was quoted at 7 to 1; subsequently 6 to 1 was
taken to a large amount.

Sir James Graham is preparing for a contest, and
has retained no small number of attorneys in different parts of
the county, amongst whom, we understand, there are not a
few who belong to that class of new friends whom Sir James
designates as the " old opponents," into whose arms he is
ready to throw himself. Political apostacy, no less than mi-
sery, does indeed " make us acquainted with strange bed-
fellows."—Carlisle Journal.
