STORIING INTELLIGENCE.

IiTC ASI7RACE3.
boackeentli, INIIIMSDAY NIGHT —The Gold Cop day is Amyl
one of great interest here, nor has it on the present occasion lost any
of its importance; indeed. It has this year surpassed all former
meetings in the celebrity of the horses, and the extent of specula.
don. Its result has been quite as unexpected as the &. Leger, and
it is thought that nio.t of those who suffered on Tuesday were In
for it again to-day. We have not yet beard of any defaulter of mo-
ment, and the whole settling seems to have gone of very quietly.
The weather to-day has not been by any means favourable, and
the ground is in a dirty slippery state, notwithstanding which the
assemblage on the race course was almost, if not fully, as numerous
and fashionable as on Tuesday. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire
went to the ground In the splendid carriage used by him in his
Busman Embassy,and surpassed all others in the general grandeur
lof his retinue. Lord Fitxwilliam and Lord Milton were also is
carriages and six. Lord Londonderry's, Mr. Beaumont's, and
many other equipages, were also much admired.
The ball on Wednesday night was attended by upwards of 700
fashionables, and under the patronage of the Duke of Devonabire,
every sling went off In the highest style; it was a dress ball, and.
the noble Duke was dressed in the Windsor unform, decorated with
the star, garter, and collar. The line of carriages extended consider-
ably more than a mile. The new French quadrille band of Lintolff
and Adams was in attendance, and gave general sati4.lction. Lin-
toirs two new quadrilles, called the Stew and the Freebooters. com-
posed for the occasion, were repeatedly called for.
We understand that James Robinson, who rode the winner, has
had presents made him to the amount of £l,OOO by Mr. Ctuick-
shanks and Captain Doubiggin, the former of whom wins
and the latter £9,000. Mr. Petre, the proprietor of Matilda, per-
mitted hint with £2OO.
Afametuke has again changed masters, having been purchased by
Mr. Dilly, and to•murrow morning he starts for Mr. Drlly's stables
at Newmarket. His match with Mr. Petre's Granby, which was
fixed for to-morrow, is or.
We et.hjoin an authentic return of the races this day, which have
been excellent.

Lord Grosvenor's Christmas, and Mr. Gully's Cervantes colt.
As this stakes brought some of the St. Leger borsesagain toge-
ther, there was some interesting betting on it, at the following odds
—5 and 6 to 4 on Granby at first ; it then changed to 6 to 4 on the
field, and closed at even betting on him ; the odds were 5 to 2 apt
Moonshine, 4 to 1 agst Emma,lo to i agst Malek, and 20 to 1 apt
Pelican. bloooshine started off with the lead, and kept it to the
bill, where klalek got op and ran him to the rails ; they, however,
then began to give way, and Granby having got up, soon pawed,
and beat them all easy ; rode by W. Scott. The distance was run
in 3 minutes and 26 seconds, being 2 seconds more than the St.
Leger time.

This stakes was originally started in the year 1800, when It was
won by Lord Darlington; it is always a good betdng race. The
odds at starting, were 3 to 1 ea Velocipede, and S to 1 apt Bens,
Bedlam, and plenty of business. The young ones went off well at
the first trial, and came at a great pace, Velocipede making the play,
but Bessy Bedlam's speed brought her out, and she won by nearly a
length; rode by T. Lye; Velocipede. by George Dockery; Lee's
filly, by G. Nelson ; Lord Cleveland's, by Henry Edwards; Lord

Sir M. W. Ridley's b. in. Fleur de Lis, 5 yrs
Mr. Nowell's b. b. Longwaist, 6 yrs
Lord ICilburn's b. c. Reviewer, 3 yrs
Lord Sligo's br. b. &etch, aged
Lord Scarborough's b. c. Tarrare, 4 yrs
Duke of Leeds's h. c. Moth, 3 yrs
A great deal of confusion prevailed last night, from a most shame-
ful trick which was played off respecting Memnon. Some person
circulated a report that Lord Cleveland did not intend to start
Memnon, which having been brought to the New Betting-rooms as
a fact, the heroes name was scratched out, and the cards printed
without it. When the subscribers came to the rooms to proceed
with the betting about the cup, :hey were thunderstruck to find
him struck out, and some Noblemen instantly declared that it
could not be correct. Some of then Immediately waited on
Lord Cleveland, who was at a dinner party, and who was as
• much surprised as themsel4es at the circumstance. His Lord-
ship instantly left his company for the rooms, where he gave
the most explicit contradiction to the mischievous statement,
and proceeded to back his horse to a very heavy 'mown,
stating that dnce his defeat by Fleur de Lis on Tuesday, he
had given hint a sweat, and had every reason to think he could
win the cup. The betting then became very heavy, and we are
well assured that more money was staked on this race than
OS the Great St. Leger during the few days previous to its
decision. It was 5 and 6t04 on the field agst Fleur de Lis, 4to
1 apt Memnon, 5 to 1 apt Mulatto, 6 to one agst Lungwalst, 6 to
1 apt Tarrare, 20 to 2 apt Actnon,2o to I apt Starch, and 100 to
3 against Reviewer. At the word" Go," off went Tarrare, Starch,
Fkur de Lis, and Reviewer, abreast, the others close at their heels,
and the whole beautifully together ; but in passing the St. Leger
turn they tailed, Fleur de Lis and Starch leading, Tarrare and
Mulatto next, Memnon very near, the others not much out of place,
and the whole going at a terrible pace. At the Sat Mulatto got up
and came out with the mare, but she could not live with him, and
be won by a clear length. It was a dead heat between Fleur de
Lis and Memnon, so that the judge could only place the winner ;
Tarrare was fourth. Run in 4 minutes and 46 seconds. Although
this race has been run in less time, it was one of the finest we ever
witnessed, and its, result, added to his general good running, con-
vinces us that, but for the very heavy state of the ground, he would
have won last year's fit. Leger easy. The winner was rode by T.
Lye ; Memnon, by Chifney ; Fleet de Us, by Cottony (who rode
also in the Leger of 1913) ; Reviewer, by Fisher; Actwon, by H.
Edwards; Starch, by Scott; Moth, by Down ; Longwaist, by
Dockery; and Terrace, by G. Nelson.

ROYAL IsIOOE OF HUNTING IN RUSSIA.
The Russians have but a very imperfkct Idea of the pleasures of
hunting, for in most instances the animal has net the slightkst chance
of escape. When the Emperor is disposed to enjoy the delights of
the chock, which seems to be but seldom, a few wretched hares are
brought out In bags to the scene of action, generally one of those
vast plains so numerous in Russia. Upon the signal being given,
two or three of the parking and timid little creatures, already ball
frightened to death, are let out of the bag, and immediately after
two enormous lung-haired greyhounds, which overtake and kill
them in a few seconds. And this is what, in those countries, is
called enjoying the pleasures of the chAce !—Loruloos Weekly Review.
