TATTERSALLS'—Last Evening.

There was an average muster of subscribers present this
day, and settling on the Lincolnshire events proceeded
smoothly. Betting on the Liverpool Steeplechase was
heavy, Alcibiade, Creole, L'Africaine, and King of Hearts
all being supported for largo sums. Cortolvin, however,
remained tho favourite, 9 to 1 being the highest offer
against him, but Lord Poulett's " mcond string"—lnnellan
—was friendless at 1,000 to 15. Mistake varied in price
from 100 to 6to 100 to 8, the latter being his final quota-
tion. The heavy bets about Mistake, laid some time since,
were declared off, as the following notice, posted in the
room, will show :

"We aro of opinion that Mr. 11. Morris laid 22,500 to
700 Mistake and 100 even Mistake did not start bona fide
for Baron Von Grooten. To meet the justice of the case,
as the bets were made with Baron Von Grooten's second
commissioner, who had received instructions from .tho
Baron to back Mistake, we hereby declare those bets to be
void.

same month, being the two days following Northampton.
A CLEVER FEAT OP JOCKEYSHIP. —Whelan, when riding
Lady Whiteside for the Handicap on the second day of
Newbridgo races, broke one stirrup at the third fence after
starting. He immediately to•k his foot out of the other,
rode the remainder of the three miles over 24 fences, and
won his race, though coming to grief, and being obliged
to re-mount,:and having to contend with the accomplished
riders, Monaghan, Hanlon, and Archer.
Agnes, the property of Mr. John Osborne, in foal to
Colsterdale, died a few days since of dropsy, at the age of
22 years. She was got by Clarion out of Annette by Priam.
Her first foal was Lady Agnes (by Birdcatcher), sent to
Italy in 1853, and her last Alexander (by Musjid), engaged
in the Derby of 1867.

will be contested on the lands of Soyerstown, where the
lino will be all grass with fair fences. Tho Meath Hunt
Club will add £2OO to the hunt race.

become firm and consolidated.
