CITY A.l/A7EUR ATHLETIC CLUB.

This rising club held their gathering at the Middlesex
Cricket-ground; under the management of Mr. J. G.
Elliott, judge ; Mr. T. Norris, starter ; and the honorary
-secretary Mr. T. Griffith. Mr. Norris, the proprietor, do-
serves great praise for his liberality; the running course
newly formed was in fine condition, but we would advise
the path to be kept clear for the future. This club, the
youngest amongst these popular societies, bids fair to be-
come second to none. The following is the return :

Handicap of 220 yards.—The prize was a silver cup of
the value of 15 guineas, open to officers of the army and
navy, and members of the West-end clubs, the Civil Ser-
vice, rowing clubs, and amateur athletic clubs.
The eight winners of the heats were drawn in two lots,
Mr. H: Stevenson being allowed to run in consequence of
an objection lodged against Mr. Turner, the winner of the
sixth heat.
Lot I.—J. A. Robinson, 13, first; F. G. Wear, 13,
second; I'. Collins, 12, third; W. Johnson, 13, fourth
Time, 22 sec.
Lot 2.—W. G. Turner, 12, first; P. Butcher, 9, and A.
Williams, 12, dead heat; W. I'. Gambier, 6, fourth ; 11.
Stevenson, 13, fifth. Won by a yard. Time 211 sec.
Final Heat. —W. G. Turner, 12, first.; J. A. Robinson,
13, and A. Williams, 12, dead beat; F. E. Wear, 13,
fourth; F. Butcher, 9, fifth. Won, after a splendid race,
by half a yard. As it was too dark to run for the second
prize it was postponed. As Mr. Turner was objected to,

were only two starters
out of seven starters. Mr. T. Collins, City Amateur Athle-
tic Club, 15 yards start, boating F. J. Follett, Civil Ser-
vice, 18, after both falling several times.

SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS ON SUNDAY.—
A requisition, signed by 600 citizens of London, clergymen
of metropolitan parishes, and ministers of various sects, has
been addressed to the Lord Mayor, praying that his lord-
ship will convene a public meeting in order to consider the
effect which is produced upon the welfare of the people by
the sale of intoxicating liquors on Sunday. In compliance
with the requisition the Lord Mayor has called a public
meeting for Monday, the 4th of March, in the Guildhall.
THE SARDINIAN LOAN.—An account relative to
the loan to his Majesty, the King of Sardinia, by virtue of
the Acts 18, 19 and 20 Vic., issued on Saturday, shows that
the amount of the loan in 1855-56 was .£3,000,000, and that
the interest, as well as £251,642 6s. 4d. of the principal, had
been paid up to 1866, the present unpaid balance being
£1,718,357 18s. Bd.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—THIS DAT.
The process of paying and receiving over the Lincoln_
shire events was proceeded with satisfactorily, and money
appeared to be plentiful. The interchange, however, oc-
cupi3d so much time prior to a move westward thr-t specu-
lation on future events proceeded but tardily. F,halrspere,
from the frequent inquiries after him, further advanced in
favour for the Grand National, while both Columbia and
Surney appeared to-day friendless, and Dermot Asthore was
in force at his price, at which he was supported to win
some thousands. The Chester Cup was never even
mentioned, and the Two Thousand and Derby transa,:tions
are only mentionable as showing the correct ton. of the
market, fin-, with the cx c-ption of Vauban, who was in some
force-, the others in the following list wore backed for
