BETTING ON THE COURSE.

WAGER.—A bet of a very sporting character was de'
cided on Monday, H. E. Handley, Esq., of the. Sorts
Greys, betting 2001. to 401. that he would ride four
horses bona fide belonging to him over 12 feet of waters
i
each horse to be allowed two trials. The place selectee
for the event to come off was near Clondalkin, betweles
the seventh and eighth lock on the Grand Canal, and
was selected by Mr. J. Cassidy, of James's street, who
trained the Miller, a very promising 4.yr-old, with
whom the gallant captain made his first essay. After a
preliminary canter, and jumping three or four small
fences, he came a rattler at the brook, which he cleared
in first-rate style. The celebrated steeplechase horse
Beware did his work equally well, without the slightest
mistake ; not so Tallyho, who breasted the bank,
pitching his rider clear over his heap, but withOtti
any further mishap occurring. Twig Topper; who ,did
The next animal put
in requisition was a grey,
his work in hunter-like style. Notwithstanding the
failure Tallyho had previously made, his plucky owner •
mounted him again, and in putting him over a couple of
small fences he twice grassed his rider, and it appeared
any odds against the feat being accomplished. The-cap.
tain, however, nothing daunted, came at a splitting pace
and just cleared the water, the horse falling on landing,
giving his rider a severe shaking. On reference to the
umpire he decided the bet was fairly won. Very few
were present, as the venue was changed from the neigh•
bourhood of Clones to Clondalkin at the last moment.
