IF this should meet the eye of the GENTLEMAN
who left BEDFORD for LONDON early in Pitarch last, he is
urgently requested to communicate with his friends.

THE incalculable advantages to be derived by
keeping faith with the public has been most powerfully illus-
trated in the case of Messrs. DRUMM.O):B, GREVILLE, and Co.,
Sporting Printsellers and Publishers, 72, Princes-street, Leicester-
square London, whose advertisements have for some time past been
inserted in this paper. These gentlemen have met with such extra-
ordinary pa.ronage from all parts of the British dominions, that,
notwithstanding the numercus competitors whom their late successes
have brought into the field, they have succeeded in accomplishing
to the very letter of their prospectus every hope they held out to
the public, and all persons having any claim on them are requested
to make immediate application for the same, as they are anxious to
discharge every obligation with the least possible delay; and they
beg leave to apprize their sporting friends they have engaged a first-
rate artist to snake a drawing of the Donca- ter Race Course at the
moment of the coming in for ti'e Great Doncaster St. Leger Race,
from which a pl tte will be engraved by that celebrated Artist, Mr.
Charles Hunt, exhibiting a correct likeness of the Three First Horses
and their Riders, and proof Impressions from the same, thirty inches
by twenty-fmr, beautifully co'oured, will ha ready for distribution as
Speedily as possible after the Race, at half the usnal cost.
