Even betting on Veil before starting. She did not run for the
first heat, but she kept her place at even betting, and made all the
running, and won by a length. •
The Stand exhibited a blaze of female beauties ; and it was
rather a pity that the additional splendour of female attire did not
join to complete the scene, rather than remain in close carriages.
Mr. Mytton's horses won the cup, and all the stakes, on Friday,
at Cheltenham. Euphrates was the winner of the cup.
FIVES' COURT.—SCROGG INS'S BENEFIT.

Mister Scroggins being a gentlemanly sort of a fellow, took his
benefit yesterday, and was patronised by a very respectable mus-
ter of the Fancy. The Court was crowded at an early hour, and
Scroggy, in pursuance of his pledge, made ample preparations for
their amusement. The " sets-to" were good, but they had nor to
boast of much novelty, as most of the men had performed together
within the last few weeks. Among the exhibitors were Lennox
and Gadzee—Oliver and Acton—Young Belasco and Savage—
Warren and Seabrook—Spencer and Emmett-.-P. Inglis and Deaf
Davis—Gipsey Cooper and Dick Curtis-.-Lock and Goulding, and
several others.

AND Asset:arr.—These men, who fought for a purse on
Monday, shewed. Bailey was very little the worse for wear, but
Abbenott wan dreadfully punished. The latter mounted the stage,
and Scroggins made an appeal in his favour, stating that he had
done his best, and had got but three pounds of the purse, two pounds
of which were his own. The appeal was not made in vain, and a
shower of silver and copper proved the liberality of the admirers
of true courage.
Ja►t Byars 111,1 D O'Nxitt.—.lem was also present, and did not
shew any very prominent marks of the unequal contest in which he
had been engaged. His left cheek was swollen, and one of his eyes
was black, but otherwise there was nothing the matter. O'Neill
was absent. It was stated that he was so ill as to be incapable of
motion—he remains still at Cbertsey. Some complaints were made
of Langan having left him to his fate after his defeat. Burn re-
ceived several presents as rewards for his bravery.
Batriwnt atm O'Nitat.s.—Baldwin mounted the stage, and ex-
pressed his regret that be had not been able to fight O'Neale on tke
preceding day. He was in such bad condition that his friends
thought it was better he should not go into the ring. He was very
anxious, he added, to fight O'Neale before he fought anybody else,
and would meet him therefore at Cribb's this evening, to make a
fresh match for 200/. a-side. O'Neale immediately answered the
challenge, and said he was quite as sorry as Baldwin that they had
not fought on Monday. He was matched to fight young Burn for
fifty, and if that was a, or whether or not, he could meet Bald-
win at the time appointed, to stake for any sum he chose, and would
bet him a hundred he won the fight into the bargain.
Goulding, the Bristol man, having challenged any man of his
weight, for X5O, a man of the name of Dick Coulbert, of Irish ex.,
traction, said he was ready to meet him, and it was agreed they
should be at Randall's, on Thursday evening, to stake. Coulbert
has the appearance of a hardy fellow, bat he is neither so tall nor
heavy as Goulding.—Several new matches ate in embryo, but
nothing definitive has yet been done.
