lowed in compliment to it, have rather taken the edge off the more legitimate business at the Corner. The Derby betting scarcely requires a remark beyond the very favourable appearance of the two cracks; the provincial, however, having clearly the best of it. The next on the roll, Lord Clifden's horse, has either tried his friends or increased his enemies; the style in which anything derogatory to his dignity was offered not being answered exactly in that same sanguine spirit it was a short time since. Of the others, Strongbow and the Emma colt, now called the Knot, have had the best of a bad month; not forgetting, though, John Scott, who, if less formidable than usual, taken single-handed, has still many friends willing to respect "the lot" he has to select from. By far the most brisk work has been on the different events decided over the country, but they rise and pass away in such quick succession that it would be useless to attempt tracing their course in a monthly summary like this; still, to make up something of a show, we have drawn out another line of figures for the Chester Cup, in which the Danebury stable, it will be observed, is already displaying a strong front. Certes, when we come to remember how John Day has finished for this last year or two, few will question but this confidence has a foundation in " races past."
