SPORTING NO7 ES.

There was great excitement at the
.City and West-en d
Clubs on Saturday; in fact there was nothing talked about
but the raid the Scotland-yard authorities had made on
some of the large betting commission agents, and the
general opinion is that the police have gone a little too
far. After the Londoners having put up so long with the
eccentricities of an Irish Chief Commissioner of Police it
is out of the question that they should tolerate the same
with a Scotch one. In the meantime, it would be idle to
argue why the "upper crust" of betting society is not
broken into, while there is such a stir among the small fry,
for there is uo Act of Parliament to prevent a free-born
Briton betting at his club or an 3 other private place— nor
is there likely to be, in despite of Mr. Poland's threat. The
Act of 1853 was passed through the house ostensibly
to put down "ready money" betting, and whilst the
doubt exists whether it can be made to apply to
commission agents, it would be ridiculous to argue that it
ought to touch those who in moat cases bet in one place
—on a racecourse, or at Tattersall's, or at their club—and
pay or receive in another the Monday after the event is
over. " Suppressing betting" in 1869 is not so easy a
matter as was the closing of the offices—half of them
opened by welshers and swindlers—in 1853. The cur-
rent week will be a quiet one, and plating will be the
rule either at Aintree or Chelmsford, or at the Worcester
gathering on Thursday and Friday. Newmarket and
Epsom will supply most of the horses for the ChehnsfoAl
races, and King Victor would make she: t work of most of
the competitors if he were brought out, but Stevens
has the easiest handicapped animal in the whole race
in Chivalry. Miss aerryweather is at Nightinstli's
Eps,m, and will beat all the best form in th 3 Great
Baddow Two Year Old Stakes, albeit the penalty
will stop her, if there is anything respectable
among the maidens, and the prowls:us Birdie
has only.been beaten in goad company. Wednes-
day's pr)blems can be easier solved after the decision of
the above, and at present little can be done with the Liver-
pool bill of fare. The half score in the St. Leger include
nothing better than Scintilla, a very moderate animal in-
deed, even if she can stay a mile and a half ; and there is
nut one worth naming in the other three year old races,
the Sefton and Grand Stand Stakes. The Spy should
have no difficulty in carrying off the Liverpool Cup.
