THURSDAY'S RACES.

Paying and receiving on the Cup took place, or rather
commenced this morning, and, as far as it has gone, is
satisfactory ; several heavy accounts, however, have to be
sewed in town on Monday, the majority of the round
betters are losers, amongst them Mr. Davis, the extent of
whose operations may be guessed when we mention that he
laid 20,000/. to 45:d. against the winner, in two bets,
besides others of large amount. He also stood 50.000/. to
25111. against the Black Doctor winning the Cup and
Derby ! It is notorious that a greater portion of
the money won goes into the pockets of parties who, for ob-
vious reasons, have for some time been out of the ring. The
card to-day contained seven races, one more than either of
the preceding, and in the Dee Stakes possessed a feature of
more than ordinary interest. The field, it will be seen, was
large, including the names of the Mountain Deer, Vermuth,
Hippolytus, and the mysterious Lightfoot, for whom the
"public" have for a long period shown a most unaccountable
fondness. The result had the instant effect of raising Bip-
polytus and‘Bonnie Dundee to 30 to 1 each for the Derby,
and at the same time proved beyond a doubt that Lightfoot
is one of the greatest impostors ever brought to the post.
We have only time to add that the weather was delightful,
the attendance large, and the sport excellent.
