POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

GUILDHALL.

George Ryan was placed at the bar before Alderman
Rose, charged with stealing a roll of flannel value £4.
John Tiddy, a clerk in the firm of Messrs, Bleary, 20,
Aldermanbury, warehouseman, said this morning, about
ten o'clock, I was near the street door when I saw the pri-
soner leave the place with a large parcel under his arm. I
went after him, and he then threw the parcel in the road
and run away. I came up with him and seized him, when
he struggled very violently to get away. A policeman came
up wad he was secured and taken to the station-house. The
parcel was found t.) contain 46 yards of fancy flannel, and
was worth about £4. It had been taken off the counter.
The flannel produced is the property of my employers.
City police-constable 459 said he took the prisoner into
custody. On searching him he found 2d. and a knife on
his person.

For the Cambri3geshire Stakes there is but little change
in the front division. 11 to 2in hundreds was taken a few
times about Henham Lass ; and Asteroid, Confectioner,
and Limeflower were very freely supported, especially the
latter, about whom •all the 10's to 1 that were offered were
readily taken. Ivanhoff was in some request, but we did
not see less than 25 to 1 booked. Mutineer came with a
rush, but the limit to• day appeared to be 100 to 3, and there
is every appearance of his seeing a less figure than that.

THE DISPUTED RACE AT THE CALEDONIAN HUNT
MEETING.—EidoIon having been objected to for not carry-
ing the proper weight in the Sweepstakes on Thursday, the
race has been officially awarded to Overton, who came in
second.

SPORTING PRO PHE7S ON THE

Either Confectioner or Gabrielle d'Estrees will obtain the
judge's flit, and Fravola, The Roe, Paste, and Queen of
the Vale will be their next attendants.
TOUCHSTONE—The Era.

In taking " lots against the field," our readers must not
overlook either Queen of the Vale, Baron Munchausen, or
Sporting Life, who are almost as formidable-looking on
paper as Henham Lass, Limeflower, The Roe, Asteroid,
Ivanhoff, Gabrielle d'Estrees, Confectioner, Mutineer, and
Donner and Blitz, and render our task of selecting the
winner more than usually difficult, for between the above
dozen we scarcely know how to choose. However, the
venture must be made, and we have an idea the winner
will turn up in the following

The Roe 1
Confectioner
Mutineer ...
RHYMING RICIIARD—BeII's Life.
For that man must be made up of malice and venom
Who won't find a sweet rhyme for the Lassie of Henham ;
And his heart must be cold as the ice of Lake IV enham,
Who feels no warm throb for the Lassie of Henham.
A health to all lasses, may each of us ken 'em,
And find them as kind as the Lassie of Henham.
llhymes trip up each other as fast as I pen 'em,
On such a fair theme as the Lassie of Henham.
But is there no danger? Whilst paying cur court
A Rap on the knuckles may shorten our sport ;
Or perhaps, by not carefully watching the premises,
We may leave the back door peeping open for Nemesis.
Too true—yet the danger I fear is a nearer one,
And the favourite's backers may find it a dearer one.
You may think him a mean• looking kitchen utensil,
Yet don't make too recklessly free with your pencil ;
Don't play, 1 implore you, the goose with the Gridiron;
Will Day may yet make him as hot as a skid-iron ;
And, unless human eyes are addicted to lying,
The Gridiron's fit—if the fish is worth frying.
AUGUR—Sporting Life.

In selecting half a-dozen as a— lot against the field, I
think the following most likely to furnish the winner :
Asteroid, Confectioner, Henham Lass, The Roe, Mutineer,
and Lime.flower. For reasons which I have stated Came-
rino is not included ; therefore I must, in again reducing
them, stand by my selections of October 9
Asteroid and The Roe.

The only other I consider at all likely to defeat this pair is
Limeflower, the one recommended as the then best outsider
in my last.
Racing Indicator._

This slip of paper, for which the public is charged half-a-
crown, only takes four horses to beat the field ; and, if bettiag
men were to back the whole of them, they would be nothing
in pocket. The writer says :—Taking everything into
consideration, we shall not vary our previous selection of
Ilenham Lass and the best of the French lot (Palestre or
Gabrielle d'Estrees), expecting they will find their most
formidable opponents in Limeflower and Ivanhoff.
