a cough.
We understand that Sir Joseph Hawley did not back
Pero Gomez until the night before the race, when through
a friend he had a commission out to take 3,000 to 1,000, but
the first but obtained was 1,000 to 400. Mr. Herring, the
Kingsclere Commissioner, also, on die, invested ..C3OO the
same night.

turned at the end of their racing career.
UNDEMIAND.—This stallion was sold at Doncaster, to
close a partnership, and was knocked down for 200 gui-
neas to Mr. Winteringliain.

AN UNSEASONABLE CIIANOE.—Afr. Christopher Sykes
M.P., was obliged to leave Doncaster in order to give evi-
dence bcforo the Beverley Election Commissioners.
The Grand Stand receipts at Doncaster on the Tuesday
were about £3,800, and the St. Leger take swelled them to
about £lO in excess of what they were last year.
THE WARWICK Cur.—lt is stated that this prize will bo
in future retained in name only on the Warwick Septem-
ber programme, the committee, after several years' failures
having resolved to give the value of the cap (200 sovs) in
specie for a handicap.
Fisherman, the 1,200 guinea colt of the Doncaster sales,
was bred by Mrs. Wilkinson, of Neasham Abbey. Thu
colt is called after Fisherman, a favourite hound in the
Hurworth kennel, of which the late Mr. Wilkinson was
master. This is the highest-priced colt of the year, with
the exception of Mr. I'Anson's colt by Rataplan out of
Borealis, which made 1,250 guineas at York.

Sir Tattoo Sykes's yearling "Flint Jack," which made
370 guineas, is called after a celebrated character in the
East Biding, who has driven for some years back a large
trade in fossils, real and spurious. Ile is generally in
trouble, and is at present under lock and key "for his
•country's good." Hence the hypothesis that the name
was the brevet title of a celebrated millionaire is quite
incorrect.

RYSHWORTIL—WO aro informed that this horse, who
was said to havo broken down, only bit his leg, and is now
quite sound, and will be able to fulfil his engagement at
Nen castle.

Mr. T. Jefferson bought Mr. Newcoinen's chesnut
yearling colt Faulpolz, by Loiterer, out of Lalage, by
private contract, for 125 guinea; at Doncaster on
Thursday.

FORTUNIO.—It was reported at Doncaster that this horse
broko down in an exercise gallop at Middleham on Thurs-
day, in consequence of which he was not able to start for
the Doncaster Cup.

THORMANLY.-Mr. Merry has let this horse to Mr.
Vaughan for next season, and he will stand at Middle-
ton-ono-Row, and cover mares at 50 guineas each. Lord
Portsmouth had also been in treaty for him for ho Hurst-
bourne Stud.

Captain Cornish sold Consternation at Doncaster for
450 guineas to E. Weaver, for one of his employers.
The same trainer also bought by private contract tho
yearling filly by Blair Athol out of Breeze, for 210
guineas.
FANNY DRAPE.—This mare retrieved her lost laurels at
Brampton by carrying off the first prize (C 8) for hurdle
leaping, at Wigton, on Wednesday. She was ridden by
young Mulcaster, and took all her leaps in splendid style.
Eight competed. Mr. Casson's Redcap also carried off the
hackney prize. In a field of twenty-eight, Mr. Bell, of
Plumbland, was successful with a four-yr-old for the first
prize (XlO 10s.), offered by Mr. Moore, for mares and
geldings for field or road.

There is said to be "nothing new under the sun," but
this doctrine was overthrown at Doncaster. A smart
shower took place just before the St. Leger, but the
weather "lifted," and the umbrellas were furled onto
more. A loud noise was then heard, and it was thought
at first that the crowd was chaffing a " Bobby " or hooting
a dog, but it turned out that they were only cheering the
rainbow, which made its appearance and kept its word, as
the many thousands got home after all without a wet
jacket.
KING'S LYNN RACES.—This meeting came off on Thurs-
day, and was well patronised by the gentry and people of
the neighbourhood. The following aro the results of the
events decided :—Railway Plate—Mr Archer's Chow first,
Meta second; four ran. Members' Stakes—King of
Ilearts first, Evil Eye second. Trial Stakes—Mr Middle-
ton's The Gift first, Clasp second; four ran. Ladies
Plato—Mr Gulliver's Treasurer first, Maid of Orleans
second, Maid of Trent third. Sandringham Park Stakes—
Mr J. Ilaye's La Belle Jeanne first, Clasp second. Harbin-
ger third. Match—Maid of Trent beat Chow.
PLACE BETS ON CORPORATION STASES.--As three horses
ran a dead heat for second place for this race, and many
questions may arise as to how Lets should go, we may
state that the odds laid against and the amounts staked on
either of the dead-heaters should be put together, and
that the backer is entitled to receive two-thirds of the
amount. Supposing, for instance, one of these three
horses had been backed for a sovereign at 5 to 1, and the
money staked, the backer has £4 to receive, but if the
money was not staked, then his claims would be £3 Gs. Bd.
while the layer would be entitled to Gs. Bd., being ono-
third of time stake money. The net result in either case is
a wiu of £3. A similar case to this occurred in the Me-
tropolitan Stakes, 1864, won by Joco—King Charming,
Touch-and-Go, and The Major running a dead heat for
second place.
