BETTING 1N LONDON-SATURDAY.

Considering the lateness of the season, a large number
of members assembled at the clnbs to-day, and speculation
was comparatively brisk. The Croydon Steeplechase
which is gradually expanding into the dimensions of a
" Grand Annual," was made the principal medium of
wagering, and for this event several horses were backed to
win a good stake. Globule had slightly the call in the
quotations at 100 to 12, with Astrolabe closely treading on
his heels at 9to 1 ; while backing the two coupled ap-
Peared to bo a favourite mode of investment. About £2OO
was laid out by one commissioner on Meanwood, the odds
of 10 to 1 being•accepted kindly, and several minor outlays
were effected on the same terms. Daisy came in for a con-
siderable amount of support, all the 100's to 5 being taken
freely, and backers would have gone on at the price, but
towards the close it was not obtainable. Hornet was not so
healthy as he had been a day or two previously, and w-
eeded several points. Reporter found friends at 100 to 5,
and Little Frank was supported at 100 to 3. Several other
horses were mentioned, but the actual business was con-
fined to those we have enumerated. An attempt at specu
lation on the Chester Cup proved a failure, and the only
Derby candidates invested upon were The Rake, Plaudit
and Dragon, the two former being in great request. A
the close the quotations were as follows :

CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY.

The final race for the ColquhounSculls took place on Sa-
turday last, and proved a most exciting affair. The three
men who were left in started in the following order :
Wood, Emmanuel; Shann, Ist Trinity; and Griffiths, 3d
Trinity. They all got off well, and kept their respective
distances for some time. In the Plough Reach Griffiths
was first by five seconds, Wood second, and Shaun last.
On rounding Ditton-corner Griffiths was still well within
his distance, and 2 to 1 was offered that he would win, but
found no takers. Wood at this time was a good second,
well ahead of Shaun. In the Long Reach, however, Shaun
put it on, and with a long steady stroke began to make up

the distance. In the meantime, just before the Willows,
Griffiths caught a slight crab, and appeared to be taking
matters too easily—Wood sculling very strong was close
upon both. Griffiths never quite made up for the loss
caused by his mishap, and Shann came in first by a se-
cond. Wood was a very good third, and might have been
better had he not eased at the report of the first pistol.
This completes the triumphs of Ist Trinity. They have
now won the Eights, the Fours, and the Sculls in the
same year. The Colquhoun sculls were won in 1865 by
H. Watney, Lady Margaret, who rowed " seven" in this
year's crew at Putney ; in 1864 by G. D. Bedpath, First
Trinity ; in 1863 by J. G. Chambers, who rowed for two
years in the University race ; and in 1862 by C. B. Lawes,
stroke of the 'Varsity crew in 1863, and some time ama-
teur champion of the Thames.

The Emperor has invented a new gun, a breech-
loading, rifled four-pounder. It is extremely light,
and is, I am informed, to be supplied in large quan-
tities to the army. It is contemplated to transform
the heavy cavalry into horse artillery. Armed with
this new gun the French army would thus be pro-
vided with a weapon that would far exceed in its
destructive effects the Prussian zundnadelgewehr.
The guns are proved at Vincennes. Five shots are
fired from each ; they are then packed up and sent
to La Fere, where they are provided with their
limbers.

The Prince of Monaco has sent an ambassador
to Rome with a view of placing the Principality at
the disposition of the Pope in the event of his wish-
ing to leave Rome. Monaco is a pleasant place to
spend the winter in, and its political insignificance
would be a recommendation in its favour. Its
drawback is that it is too close both to Italy and
France.

The Daily News observes that the announcement
of a new loan of six millions to Russia is unaccom-
panied by any statement as to what purpose the
money is required. One would like to know whether
these six millions are wanted for some purpose of
peaceful, economical, and social development, or for
ironclad war steamers, and Krupp's steel guns,
which our seamen and soldiers, recruited with so
much difficulty, may one of these clays have to meet
in sulphurous encounter. The News is aware that
to some persons there will appear something fantas-
tically superfluous in raising such a question. But
one would rather see British money lent

Fn says Artemus Ward, is one of the drollest
creaturesu on earth. Besides being a humourist of
the most original and eccentric stamp, he is a
thorough actor in every movement and every sen-
tence. The introduction to his Mormon lecture
keeps the audience in an almost continuous roar—
/ srkling as it is with point and delivered in the
nWst finished high-comedy manner. We scarcely
need recommend all the town to go and see him ; if
anybody comes away disappointed it will be at the
shortness of the entertainment. Brevity is too
much the soul of Mr. Ward's wit ; but perhaps his
health (which we are sorry to say seems delicate)
has a little to do with the only fault we have to find
with him. The natural -and easy way in which
Artemus Ward glides from the lively to the severe,
and then dives into his native element of fun again,
is one of his most pleasant characteristics. Un-
interrupted humour of his wild kind would have
become almost perilous, especially to those happy
people who laugh considerably when theytime

intentions with regard to the alteration and improvements

[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills.—Protectors of
Health.—ln the hand-to-hand struggle for existence in
the present day, good health is everything. iroll°waY's
purifying, digestive, and laxative Pills aro admirably
adapted for restoring soundness to invalids whose func-
tions are so feebly performed that life itself seems most
precarious. The stomach has its many maladies removed
by a judicious use of these Pills, the torpid liver is roused
by them to active secretion, and every other organ sub •
serving digestion is placed at its natural standard, and
better fitted for its duties. It is impossible to have a doctor
at our elbow at all seasons and places, but these Pills sup-
plant that loss, for they universally act beneficially in
every ailment.
