THE DISPUTED ALADDIN.
A difference of opinion being entertained as to wire
ther Van Dunck, who ran second to Aladdin for the
Newton Handicap, run for on the 18th of June last, in
which Aladdin came in first, and Van Dunck fecoud,
should take the stakes, and bis backers receive their
bete, gave rise to some discussion. According to the
evidence brought forward during the investigation of the
question respecting the identity of Aladdin, at Warwick
meeting, on Tuesday and Wednesday last, it was proved,
beyond all doubt, that he was not " late Go-away, by
Harkaway, out of Ukraine," but is another horse by
Harkaway, out of a mare called Gretna, and that
all the stakes which his owner has received for the
horse coming in first will have to be refunded, and
handed over to the owner of the horse that in each in-
stance ran second to him, is in a manner settled ; but a
difference of opinion regarding bets prevails, and has been
differently expressed by two of the London weekly sport-
ing journals, which gave rise today to many wagers Some small amounts of Australian gold !continue to
being made as to whether the bets would go to Aladdin be taken to the Bank. During the last few days the
or Van Dunck ; it being maintained by many, that as total is said to have been about 35,0001.
