BETTING ON THE HEATH.
DERBY.
8 to 1 agst Musjid (taken freely).
For a Craven Meeting the list of sport is unusually strong
in attractions, and, judging from the many country horses
in the town, satisfactory fields and interesting races may
be anticipated. Still the attendance is not likely to be
♦ery numerous, as the general election has prevented many
of the most influential patrons of the meeting from witness-
ing the proceedings on the heath. The sport was inaugu-
rated somewhat drearily, for rain fell heavily, and as there
is no place for shelter on the course only those persons
directly interested in the races were present. The reporters,
whom the Jockey Club have excluded from the weighing-
room, would have found it almost impossible to discharge
their duties properly had not a gentleman named Sabin
generously came to their assistance, and placed his shep-
herd's house at their disposal. This house was placed in a
most convenient position, and was much more commodious
than the horse van which was last year so kindly lent by
Mr. S. Rogers to the representatives of the press. The most
sporting affair of the day was between Beacon and Pavi-
lion, who Cat the last Houghtoon Meeting, it may be re-
membered, ran a dead heat at the same weight over the
T. M. M. On this occasion they met to try conclusions
over a shorter course, and Beacon won without an effort.
Sir Joseph Hawley repeated. his triumph with Gallus and
Lord -Nelson, and the success of his colours caused Musjid
to be much inquired after for the Derby.
Soo* after the commencement of the racing the rain
ceased, but towards the close of the afternoon it again set
in. Scarcely 200 people were on the heath.
THE SUBSCRIPTION-ROOM, MONDAY NIGHT.
The heavy rain which fell during the evening rendered
turfites disinclined to quit their snug quarters to visit the
Subscription room. The muster, therefore, was very thin,
and speculation was almost at a stand-still. The New-
market Handicap was not once mentioned. The subjoined
list of quotations is compiled chiefly from offers :

complaint. Flatman withdrew his charge; but that made

Column Stakes—M,ayonalse has paid forfeit.

A pouring rain during the early part of the morning kept
horses in their stables, and prepared the visitors for another
wet day. Soon after the breakfast hour the clouds broke,
the wind veered round to the south, and the afternoon was
clear and dry. The attraction of the handicap drew an ad-
ditional number of visitors from London, and the improve-
ment in the weather induced the market folks and others to
visit the Heath. The result of the race for the Biennial
Stakes produced a material effect on the Derby betting, and
Old Robert's success showed that his running at Epsom
was all wrong.
The Black Bear Inn, well-known to all sporting men,
is announced for sale by auction on Friday next. This inn
has for a number of years been one of the principal places
of resort by the race visitors from Manchester.

MONDAY'S RACING.

From inquiries we have made we have ascertained that
the parcel containing the account of Monday's racing was
duly despatched from Newmarket by the 6 o'clock train,
but that the delay was occasioned at Cambridge. The
races commence this day at half-past 12.
