TATTERSALLS'—ThEsDAY. •
THE DEBBY SETTLING.
They who placed confidence in the satisfactory nature
of the settling did not over-estimate the pecuniary
strength of the Ring. The supply of money seemed
fully equal to the demand, and the complaints which
were now and then heard were only those which might
have been uttered on an ordinary occasion. Still it must
be confessed that the doubts which had been entertained
in certain quarters had some foundation on truth and
experience. Throughout the winter months, down to the
period of her defeat for The One Thousand, Blink Bonny
bad, with the exception of a brief interval of depression,
been the leading favourite, for both the Derby and
Oaks, and in addition to being backed outright for her
Epsom engagements, she had been taken in many heavy
double event bets which have " come off," and which,
owing to the mare's retrogression, the takers had little
opportunity of hedging. The cause of Blink Bonny's
losing her pride of place in the turf market has been
traced to the suspicion tinder which she Was placid at
the beginning of the year, and naturally to the disgrace-
ful defeat which she sustained at Newmarket. The in-
genious explanations, however, which have been fur.
Dished respecting both circumstances, have scarcely sa-
tisfied those persons who regulate their investments in
accordance with the publicly tried merits of horses, and
who now shake their heads incredulously when the
" unfitness" of Blink Bonny for The One Thousand is
talked about, and who state, with a good show of reason,
that 6 to 4 is not generally laid upon horses that are
" dead amiss" for a race in which they are likely to be
opposed by any animal that has therecommenclaiims of
health and sonndness. Foyle, however, who are dis-
appointed, and lose their money, will say hard things,
which may not be justifiable.
The absentees this afternoon were not numerous. The
" Sussex Gentleman" to whom we referred yesterday
caused a notice to be posted to the effect that he will be
ready to settle on the Monday after Ascot races, but
this announcement did not seemingly lessen the desire
to " sell out" on the part of his creditors. An Italian,
who earned much notoriety last year by some peculiarly
sharp practice with respect to Fazzoletto for the Two
Thousand, and who was also distinguished by his inabi-
lity to write even sufficiently to book his bets, . was
amongst the first to show in what Mr. Dickens calls the
"outer set of betting men," After receiving about 6001.
he suddenly disappeared, and, if report be true, be is not
likely to be soon heard of again. Strange stories are
told of this man. Last year, when Fazzoletto came sud-
denly into the betting on The Two Thousand, " the Ita-
lian" went down by express train to Worthing, where he
knew a gentleman had "a book," and backed the horse
at treble its market price. The bet was disputed, but
was ultimately decided in favour of the taker. After
that occurrence the man betted more heavily, and, de-
spite his ignorance, his word was accepted more freely
than many other-men's bond; Altogether some kind of
romance attaches to the "distinguished foreigner," as
he was called on the turf ; for-it is said that he was ori-
ginally an organ grinder, and. that
.a boarding-school
Miss fell in love with him whilst in that capacity; and
married • him, and that ultimately -a separation was
effected, and the friends of the young lady make him an
annual allowance of a sum of money. Such are the canards
which are flying about, and they, "feathers and all," are
readily swallowed by those persons who Ought to be well
acquainted with the facts.
Amonst the legitimate members of the Ring very few
are reported "wounded," and they will recover in time.
Mr, H., of Arundel, and Mr. C., of -York, are at present
the principal absentees.
The " outer set" has had its numbers mach diminished.
Mr. Thorpe, who recently figured at the police-court, as
a proprietor of a betting house in Jermyn-street, and
against wh6m a sentence of two months' hard labour was
recorded, has not put in an appearance at all singe the
Epsom meeting: It may be remembered that he gave
notice of appeal against his conviction, and that he was
liberated on bail. Mr. Thorpe's breditors, and they are
many, seem rather anxious to ascertain when the re-
hearing of his case will come on, and will doubtless be
glad to meet him on his acquittal. '
As several persons at present in" default have pro-
mised to make speedy arrangements, it would be, unjust
to refer particularly to them 'until the, required time be
expired. _ _
The approaches to' the sribscrijition mem were, of
course, occupied by a miscellaneous 'crowd of persons.
Although the police were on the alert, we regret to _state
that one gentleman had his pocket picked•of abo.ve 5001.
The following list comprises the only-bets which-came
under our notice :

MANCHESTER BETTING-YESTERDAY.

The rooms were well attended to•day, and the settling
upon the Epsom events was with briskness continued,
with every prospect of it coming to a satisfactory issue.
A few accounts were unrepresented, but the stability of
the temporary absentees is beyond question ; and we
may with every confidence pronounce the settling here
as having been attended with no material disappoint-
ments. At intervals a little speculation took place upon
future events. For the Union Cup (Manchester) sto 1
was taken and offered agst Stork, and Cedric advanced
from 10 to 1 to 7 to 1 ; Bel Esperanza, Courtenay, and
Bourgeois closed at 9 to 1 each—taken. For the Ascot
Gold, Cap 100 to 20 was taken, and afterwards offered
about Lance. sto 2 was offered to. money agst Blink
Bonny for the Doncaster St. Leger, and 4 to 1 on the
field, bar one.
