SUBSCRIPTION-ROOM, THURSDAY NIGHT.
BuAness made no progress. The Cup excited much
discussion, but Fandango was the only animal in de-
mand. At one time the fielders made a strong show of
opposition, but at last Fandango was firm at evens. 100
to 30 was taken about Warlock, and early in the evening
4 and sto 1 were taken about Lance. In the course of
the evening considerable discussion took place as to
whether the Doncaster Cup was a p.p. race or not, and
almost all the bets were booked with the stipulation that
they were p.p.—an unnecessary precaution, as the Don-
caster Cup was included in the list of p.p. races when
the rule regulating p.p. races was made.
