IN MONEY ORDER.—After Achievement, Hermit,
and Vauban, winners of the St. Leger, the Derby,
and the Two Thousand, ono would be inclined to place
Hippia, the winner of the Oaks. The amount of money
she has won would at anyrate entitle her to that position .
For let us compare the winnings up to the date of the St.
Leger of the most prominent (after the great three) among
the three-year-olds—to wit, 13-iPPia, Marksman, the Rake,
Plaudit, Julius, Friponnier, and the _Knight of the Garter.
Hippia ran as a two-year-old 12 races and woof them
six—namely, the Newmarket Two-Year-Old Plate, worth
£2OO, the Sunninghill Stakes at Ascot, worth £865; the
Queen's Stand Plate at Ascot, worth £440 ; the Fernhill
Stakes at Ascot, worth £325 ; a match against Brother to
Ascham, at Newmarket, for £300; and a sweepstakes at
Newmarket, worth £120; so that elle won on the whole as
a two-year-old £2,255. As a three-year-old she won six
races out of eight—namely, sweepstakes of £250. £2OO,
and £9O, at Newmarket ; the Oaks, worth £5,200 ; and
two £5O Plates at Newmarket ; so that she won on the
whole as a three-year-old £5,840, and in the course of her
career up to the St. Leger £8,095. Marksman, as a two
year-old, ran 12 races and won five—namely, the Stock-
bridge Cup, worth £2BO ; the Coventry Stakes at Stock-
bridge, worth:£Bso ; the Molecomb Stakes at Goodwood,
worth £850; and Sweepstakes of £750 and of £1,300 at
Newmarket, so that he won as a two-year-old £4,030. As
a three-year-old he ran four races and won one—namely,

the Newmarket Stakes, worth £5OO ; so that ho won in
the course of his career up to the St. Leger £4,530. Tho
Rake shows how well a horse may stand pecuniarily
though he run but few races; for at the date of the
St. Leger The Rake had run but three races, and yet
the two of them which he won (as a two-year-old)
namely, the Althorp Park Stakes, worth £490, and the
Middle Park Plato, worth £l,B4o—brings his winnings up
to £5,330. Plaudit makes but a poor show with his two
races wen (as a two year old) out of three run altogether
—the Cleveland Stakes at Stockton, worth £2lO, and the
Clearwell Stakes at Newmarket, worth £9BO ; making his
total winnings only £1,220. But then Plaudit and The
hake share with Hippie and Vauban the honour of having
beaten Achievement. Julius ran as a two year old five
races, winning two, and as a three year old 12 races, win-
ning four; he won, at tw6 years, the Winchester Biennial,
worth £250 ; and the Railway Nursery Handicap at Lewes,
worth £330 ; and at three years, the Beaufort Handicap at
S tockbridge, worth £4BO ; the Summer Stakes at Newmar-
ket, worth £320 ; the Winchester Biennial, worth £250
(w. 0.) ; and the Racing Stakes at Goodwood, worth £6OO
the total amounting to £2,230. His great feat was performed
when at weight for ago he ran Lord Lyon to a head for a
plate at Newmarket. Friponnier is a good horse, and im-
mortalised himself by beating Lord Lyon and Rustic in the
All-aged Stakes at Newmarket, 1866. Ile was not, how-
ever, in any of the big races, and has not made nearly so
much money as the winner of 19 races out of 26 might have
been expected to make. As a two year old he ran 14 races,
and won the Western Stakes at Bath, worth £590 ; the
Badminton at the same place, worth £220; the Findon
Stakes at Goodwood, worth £180; the Braxigate-park
Stakes at Doncaster, worth £l2O ;-the Granby Stakes at
Newmarket, worth £270; a Plate of £lOO at Newmarket, a
Sweepstakes of £125 at Newmarket, and the All-aged
Stakes at Newmaket, worth £7o7—in all, eight races, worth
£2,612. As a three year old he took to walking over, and
out of 12 races won a Sweepstakes of £3OO at Newmarket ;
the Coffee-room Stakes at Newmarket, worth £l5O (w. 0.);
a Plato of £lOO at Newmarket, a Sweepstakes of £2OO at
Newmarket; the Stamford St. Leger, worth £125 ; the
Eighth Wothorpe Biennial at Stamford, worth £230 (w. 0.),
the Ketton Stakes at Stamford, worth £l5O (w. 0.), the
Goodwood Derby, worth £135 (vr.o.). a Sweepstakes of
£2OO at Goodwood (w. 0.), Champagne Stakes at Brighton
worth £130(w.0.), and the Fitzwilliam Stakes at Doncaster,
worth £l6O ; in all 11 races, worth £l,BBO, which, added
to the £2,612 won by him as a two-year-old, will give a
total of £4,492, not so much by nearly £lOO as The Rake
carried off in a single race. Knight of the Garter, who has
played a sort of see-saw--beating and being beaten—with
Friponnier, and who was two lengths behind Vauban for
the Two Thousand, ran 14 races as a two-year-old, winning
the Railway Stakes at Brighton, worth £320 ; the King
John Stakes at Egham, worth £315 ; the Tenth Zetland
Biennial at Stockton, worth £2BO ; the Eglinton Stakes
at Doncaster, worth £230 ; the Nineteenth Triennial
Produce Stakes at Newmarket, worth £191; the Rutland
Stakes at Newmarket, worth £340 ; the Blankney Stakes
at Lincoln, worth £270 ; and the Consolation Stakes at
the same place, worth £75 ; in all, eight races and £2,241.
As a three-year-old he ran up to the date of the St. Leger
seven races, and of them won the Second Beaufort Biennial
at Chester, worth £275 ; and the Spring Biennial at. Ascot,
worth £l6O ; two races and £735, which, added to £2,241,
will give £2,976. Taking money order, therefore, the
foremost three-year-olds stand thus : —Achievement,
Vauban, Hermit ; an interval, and then Hippie, The Rake,
Marksman, Friponnier, Knight of the Garter, Julius, and
poor Plaudit.—Pall-Mall Gazette.
BETTING BOOTHS ON RACECOURSES.—On Thurs-
day a very important decision was given at the Doncaster
police-court with regard to betting stands on racecourses.
James Keen, of London, a bookmaker and commission
agent, was charged, under 16th and 17th Vic., with using
an office or place, and exhibiting therein placards calcu-
lated to induce improvident persons to bet, and with
receiving money for that purpose. Mr. Sleigh prosecuted,
and Mr. Peace appeared for the defence. The court was
crowded by list-keepers from all parts. From the state-
ments of counsel and the evidence given it appeared that
at the September meeting last year the corporation let a
portion of ground on the east side of the grand stand for
the purpose of the lessees erecting betting stands or offices
thereon. At the last meeting the same land was again let
for the same purpose. A portion of it was sublet to the
defendant. Witnesses were- -called to prove the letting,
the erection of the stand or offices, to the exhibition of
placards and lists, and to the character of the business
done. The defendant was proceeded against under three
separate sections of the act. lie was convicted in each case.
For the offence described in the first section he was fined
£2O or six weeks' imprisonment, under the fourth section
ho was fiued £lO or a month, and under the seventh section
£l5 or a month. Notice of appeal against the decisions
was given.
