STAMPED M.

rudely shouting " Move on," as at Epsom and Hyde-
park, blandly said, " Pass away, gentlemen ! pass
away," and the course was cleared for each race in
about three minutes without the least difficulty,
thus insuring punctual starts by the card. The
sporting press has lately rendered good service in
cautioning the public against the welching frater-
nity. There were plenty of them about, both within
and out of the ring, but I did not hear of any vic-
tims, so that writers who have continuously exposed
these scoundrels may congratulate themselves on
the success of their labours; but whether the welcher
is better or worse than his fellow schemer the Pro-
phet is only a matter of opinion. More than one-
half of the former, as I am informed, continue the
business of the latter, and may be fairly included
in the same category. Several of these professors

of the human family, and if any of their verdant
customers could personally take stock of them, I
am quite sure advice would never be sought in such
channels. It was only natural to expect that
when an outsider like Rama won the Stakes so
easily many tipsters would claim him as the horse
selected to " win in a walk." One fellow did pre-
dict that Kenyon would ride the winner, but as he
has not boasted of Cue fact since the race, he
evidently did not think of Rama ; but others
say the same thing, and are now chang-
ing names and tactics by pretending to
repudiate their old callings. The British Turf
Company (not limited) have removed from New-
ington-causeway to 45, Chandos-street, West
Strand, where " stamps, Scotch and Irish notes
and money orders, will be taken." We have no
doubt whatever of this fact, always provided there
are any Scotsmen or Paddies foolish enough to
send them. Here is a new idea where the simple
business of taking odds is treated as a mystery.
" Excelsior ! Backers of horses learn a lesson.
Throw no more of your money away upon worth-
less tipsters ; let science and self-dependence guide
you in the mystic art of betting," which turns out
to be a " mathematical" system, although we do not
find either from general history or tradition that
Euclid ever put anything upon racing certainties,
or indeed backed a horse ; however, somebody
seems to have had faith, for a letter is copied in the
advertisement which purports to enclose a cheque
for £5O for information received, as the police say ;
and as no charge is made for what is called in the
testimonial the " philosopher's stone," such parties
as see fit may obtain the good thing by applying
to Mr. Montgomery, in Willow-walk East, S.E.
No number is given, but any lover of logarithms
can work out the problem himself.
Whatever you may have done at Goodwood,
don't forget Brighton and Lewes, which will be
most attractive. Sinclair says he told all that
" Black Prince was a duffer," and if anybody will
be so obliging as to send him 13 stamps he will
forthwith supply ten winners at each place. This is_
somewhat perplexing, because an advertiser, fol-
lowing immediately, tells us that without the aid of a
tipster anybody can win from £5 to £5OO weekly, for
which useful information half-a-crown in stamps
will suffice. A " testimonial" is also included,
short and clear, from a gentleman at Sheffield, who
says he has won £2OO in a couple of months. G.
Harvey, Esquire (so he calls himself) is the party
who will favour you with the valuable information
how to recruit your shattered resources every Sa-
turday evening by securing either £5 or £5OO,
which you please.
All parties who are settled on lists, not betting
lists, but as contributors or shareholders in defunct
joint stock companies, and have heavy calls made
upon them, ought to study these easy methods of
acquiring wealth. The "General Merchant" of
Guernsey is again patronising the sporting press,
but for the convenience of persons who cannot spare
£l9 all at once even to get a prize of £106,800, the
" splendid speculations" are divided into four, and
he strongly recommends each as offering every pros-
pect of success. .In the first, with £l, you may
realise £20,000 ; with £2, you may realise £26,000;
£B, £37,000 ; and £lO, £44,800. The stakes are
increased to £2l, and the product to £127,800.
With all these appliances my readers, who have
never visited that part of the great downs of Sussex,
may surely obtain sufficient, from one or other
source, during the ensuing twelve months, to
enable them to pass a week at Worthing or Chi-
chester, and enjoy comfortably the great Goodwood
Meeting.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

BETTING IN LONDON-SATURDAY.

The annual sojourn of a fortnight on the Sussex coast
has of late years become as popular with bookmakers as
was the " Grand Tour" among the elite of a bygone age ;
so that at the present moment Brighton and the adjacent
watering-places are filled with professionals enjoying the
fruits of their recent successful campaigns, and bracing
their energies for the great autumn events. The conse-
quence was that to-day, instead of the " old familiar faces"
a few stragglers only put in an appearance at the clubs,
and as there is no race of importance in the immediate
future, scarcely any business was transacted, tho extent of
the day's proceedings being, in fact, represented by the few
subjoined quotations :

",CORRECT CARD OF THE HORSES."—On Friday, J uly 28th,
1848, ono Mathias Elderton, a notorious list crier, do-
parted this life. To many of our sporting readers this cele-
brated man was doubtless well known, but to others who had
not the pleasure of listening to his pleasantries, the follow-
ing anecdotes map be read with some interest. Poor Jerry,
for such was the name he was known by at the different
races, was the prince of impudence and of confident assur-
ance, but remarkably pleasant and good humoured.
Sometimes ho was dressed in an admiral's old coat and
cocked hat, his fingers were profusely ornamented with
rings and he wore an eye-glass. Ho accomplished his
purpose by the most barefaced but agreeable effrontery,
and he was a good sample as to how far the quality of
assurance would carry a man. He would tap a nobleman
or gentleman on the shoulder, and ask in a pleasant tone,
" Oh, how do you do, my lord, how's my lady, I hope she's
quite well ?" His perfect self-confidence almost commanded
a pleasant reception. Some persons considered Jerry a
little queer in his upper storey, but they were never more
mistaken. He would stop the highest personage in the realm.
George the ,Fourth has been known to take him by the
hand, and Jerry frequently said that he was his very par-
ticular fat friend. Jerry made money, but he had an ex-
traordinary way of spending it. He would sometimes
turn huckster, and deal in various commodities, such as
silks, watches, &c. On one occasion an extensive robbery
had taken place at Manchester, and the very house
where Jerry stopped was searched by the police for the
stolen property, which unfortunately resembled that which
he had purchased and paid for. Jerry not having had the
precaution to take a bill of the goods, suspicion was
awakened, and poor Jerry was apprehended and lodged
in prison. A generous sympathy was awakened
amongst the members of the turf, from the highest to the
Lowest, each and every one of his patrons considered he
was incapable of committing theft, and the old Squire
said " We'll have him out." When Jerry was brought
up for examination two carriages full of gentlemen drew
up at the Now Inn. The magistrates instantly listened to
these honourable and generous advocates. A mistake had
been made and Jerry was instantly set at liberty. The
gentlemen at once subscribed a stake, and Jerry resumed
his avocation with increased spirit. He was well known
on every race course and at the corner. He was strictly
honest and liberal to his fellows, by whom he was highly
esteemed. At length he met with a sad and fatal acci-
dent, which ended in his death. On Wednesday, July
26th, 1848, in the Goodwood race week, in pursuing his
calling, he placed his foot on the step of a stage coach at
Chichester, and was handing up the race cards to some
gentlemen on the roof. The horses excited by the 'throng
turned round suddenly, the vehicle upset, and unfortu-
nately fell upon pocr Jerry. The injuries he sustained
were considerable. He was conveyed to Chichester In-
firmary, but 'mortification ensued, which terminated in his
death. A sum of r 0 was subscribed, and handed over to
his widow. " Alas poor Jerry I"
