VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.--This DAT.
The business transacted was not of an extensive
nature, as the muster was not a large one, many
members being absent at Harpenden. A rumour
that the Rake had broken a blood vessel whilst at
exercise evidently caused great dismay amongst the
backers of the conqueror of Achievement, against
whom £4OO to £lO was laid. Vauban would have been
supported at 2 to 1, but 7 to 4 was the highest offer
on the field, while the only others in demand were
Van Amburgh and Marksman, both of whom made
an onward advance in the quotations.

TILE DERBY.

MAY-DAY IN YORKSHIRE.—Last week the heat
was so intense in the North and East Ridings that
preparations for sheep clipping were common, and some
unfortunate animals were actually shorn. The weather
was only a foretaste of summer, and this week the cold
is extreme. On Monday the custom of May-day break-
ing of pastures was observed, but the cattle were so
starved they refused to graze, and in most cases they were
taken in at night, and are yet in their winter sheds: Grass
has run off surprisingly during the last few days of cold
east winds.
