The ab3va were sold without their eng.gements; bet
if the purchaser of eitier of the lots should wish to start
for any engagement, he will be allowed to do so on pay-
ing half the stake to the stakeholder, and, if he wins,
one-third of the stakes to Sir Joseph Hawley.
The names of the actual purchasers did not transpire,
but we ascertained that Caloric, Aphrodit6, and The
Ban, go into Lumley's stable, and Pluck into Rogers's;
Confessor, we believe, returns into T. Taylor's stable.
The total produce of the sale was 5,564 guineas.
