satisfactorily. On Tuesday the attendance was decidedif
good. The only investments were as follow :—Franehi96
was backed for " the stakes " at 4 to 1 to about £4O; 64
veral scores and tens were laid out on Croton Oil at
and 7to I, leaving off at the lesser figure. The Era. at
to 1, was done upon to a little money, but after currentil
offered. A " pony" was intrusted to the Pride of
dare, which constituted the absolute transactions on taw
race. For the Goodwood Cup two or three of the leader°
were bold enough to accommodate parties with 5 to .4, tha
last offer being 6to 5 ; 60 to 10 against Prizefighter, al•
last bet laid. For the St. Leger race 4 and 41 to 1 waslag'
against Ithuriel; 8 to 1 in fifties doubled, and other sun*

score; 9tol to a " fiver " was the Era's fate. Ivinsto°
Lordship made his debut at 20 to 1, and Parthian declined
to to the same figure. For the St. Leger 25 to 1 was take!
on Valerian ; also (rather a catch) 800 to 25. At night, to
Mr. King's first St. Leger " draw," the following bell
were pencilled down :-8 to 1 against the Era, 12 to 1 ag4
Parthian, 25 to 1 against Poussin ; also, for the St. Leger,
4 to 1 agst Ithuriel, 10 to 1 apt Morpeth, and 18 to 1
agst Valerion. Yesterday there was a good-like muster;
3 to 1 the top offer ; the field for the Stakes ; 6 to 1 110
Croton Oil (taken freely,) and 35 to 20 on the two; 20 to
1 was got to a little money on Murton Lordship ; 33 tot

backed at evens. For the Leger 4 to 1 offered on ta:
field ; 41 against the Cure, with takers of 5 to 1 abort
either - 8 to 1 against Momus (taken in ponies); 14 to 1
offered against Red Deer; 25 to I taken at first on Vale
rian, then 20 to lin ponies taken eagerly. 6to 4 want
on Scott's lot. The race promises this year to be ,
most interesting for many years past. The character
several of the candidates are of the "first water," and
look for a race worth a " Jew's eye."
