BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, OCT. 5.
There was not any thing done here today, the betting tpen being
still at Newmarket. The state of betting, as received from that
place, and inserted by us yesterday, supports our prediction (ex-
pressed some time since), that the Wyndham horses would bit first
in the betting. The Rifted colt is now first favourite at rather 1411 i
than SO to 1, which odds will doubtless be materially lessened wheti
the Newmarket Meeting,' are concluded. From the naming of
the Duke of Grafton's horses of late, it tan hardly be expected, that
they will rank high in the odds.
NEWMARKET FIRST OCTOBER
Wroxesnar. (Concusses')
The course to-day was attended by 411 the Nobility and elentrY,
whose names have before been given ; and in the evening most of
the members, including the Duke, of Grafton and Portland, Lords
Lowther and Jersey, dined at the Jockey Club Roonts,which were
afterwards visited by such other members who had been absent at
private parties.
The race for the St. Leger Stakes being highly interesting and
important, we subloin a fuller description of it.
Barring—This Race, always important, this year possessed more
interest than hitherto. His Grace the Duke of Grafton felt cons..
dent of winning (having sin horses entered); and in this he was not
singular • for all the good judges had booked him to win. The
betting before coming to the Course was brisk, but cautious, it nut
being then known which of his formidable troop the Duke meant
to win with. When on the ground, and it was ascertained that
Goshawk and Problem, the two best were selected for that pur-
pose, the betting became strong. Goshawk was offered at evens
against the field, and 4 to 1 against Problem ; and notwithstanding

some of the knowing ones had anticipated the Judge's decision (at
least what they thought must be so). by placing then% first and
second, there were many takers at heavy gigues, who were influ-
enced, no doubt, by the bad running of his Grace's horses on
Monday, Tuesday, and in the Sweepstakes to-day. sto I *as
offered against Sitter ty Pinwire (who won a Sweepstakes at Ate&
last Meeting), 7 to l against Carthage, and 8 to l against Monarch.
who was beat by Hobgoblin on the Grand Duke Michael Stakes,
on Monday, and had no place. Leeway's winning, or having the
shadow of a chance, being a thing nut of all calculation, she was
scarcely thought of, much more backed; 20 to 1 wax offered.
When together, and after the false starts, they went off at a good
pace, Leeway leading, and making rattling running over the Sat,.
and till they made the Duke's stand, all the 'others being nearly
abreast at her heels; Goshawk came up thete, and made a chat.
lenge, but soon died away. Immediately on his failure, Monarch
took the running up, and. between him and Leeway every inch of
the remaining ground was contested with extraordinary truth and
severity i head and head they ran, and came in, the Judie being
obliged to declare it a dead-beat.

PEDESTRIANISM.

The match between Captain Farmer and Mr. Bennett took place
yesterday morning, over a sis-mlle piece of ground, between Coal.
font and the Hermitage, Herts. It was, which would make the
best of his way eighteen miles, and was for a stake of fifty sots,
The Captain backed himself to perform the distance In one hour
and fifty-four minutes, for twenty-five sovereigns. The parties
ran well together the irst six miles, which was done in forty
minutes, when Mr. Bennett made the play, and kept his adversary
in full exercise. The second six miles were performed in thirty.
nine minutes by Mr. B. who was fifty yards a-head ; but be began
to fall off his speed in the sixteenth mile, when his adversary passed
him with sue, and in condition to win cleverly. The Captain had
still to make play for the bet of twenty-five sovereigns • his adver-
sary resigned in the seventeenth mile; he lost them, iowever, by
three minutes and a half.

Mr. F. West, brother to the celebrated pedestrian, started Tester.

Park Corner to Maidenhead (twenty-six mile.) in three hours. The
pedestrian performed nine miles with great ease in the first hour,
and he reached Slough (twenty miles) fresh and well, leaving him.

complish the remaining sic miles in. He won it easy, with four
minutes to spore, and offered to do It back again the neat day for
the same stake.

Meade, a Devonshireman. At twenty-seven minutes put three

o'clock, Moyle entered the ring, accompanied by the referee and
umpires, and his opponent shortly afterwards. Meade was by far
the heaviest and strongest man. Having shook hands, they hitched,
and much kicking took place between them, the wrestling being an.
cording to the Devonshire mode, Meade kicked most and hardest,
and was furnished with the heaviest shoes; at length they got
locked, and a fall would no doubt have taken place, bad not the
umpires interfered, ea account of theft net being In the ring, and
compelled them to loose their holds and bitch afresh; they soon got
locked again, when wen struggle Seek place between tbena, and
k was doubtful which would go. Meade bad MnYla in Ma arms
with a Cornish hug, but his wind and strength appeared to be ebb-
ing fast. At length Moyle, virbn apparently improved as the other
worsted, with a violent exertion, threw Meade the Brat fail. After
about fifteen minutes respite they hitched again, as it was to be del
clded by the best of three falls, four falls took place between them

ultimately thrown, and lost. The other match did not take place.
