a silver tea-service was presented to Mr. Morton, the Lecturer on Chemistry and Therapeuties at the College. A RISING MAN.-Langan, the ex-pugilist and publican, famed in story as the opponent of Tom Spring, has purchased Thornton Hall, Cheshire, for £9,000. The Irish Champion's wealth has been chiefly acquired at a hotel near the Liverpool Docks, where he was more profitably engaged in drawing the corks for, rather than of his customers. Nothing now remains to be wished for beyond a presentation and a peerage. STATE OF THE ODDS, &c. Sale of blood stock. The late Duke of Grafton's stud were sold by Messrs.

Lord George Bentinck has bought My Mary of Alderman Copeland; and Mr. Meiklam Lightning, of Dawson, the trainer. Mr. Wreford's Franchise (winner of the last Goodwood Stake) broke her thigh a few days back while at exercise, and was immediately destroyed; and Mr. Theobald's celebrated stallion, Camel, was shot in the beginning of the month, being completely worn out; we saw him at Stockwell not long since, when no hopes were entertained of his lasting another season. Muley Moloch now stands No. 1 in the collection. Mr. Copeland's horses are now in the hands of Beresford, at Newmarket. Lord Huntingfield will also shortly have a small stud there in Richard Boyce's stable; and Mr. Phillimore's horses will be trained by Sly, at the same place. Crouch joins Messer as Prime Minister, vice Sly promoted. DECISIONS OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. RUNNING REIN AND CRENOLINE. "The Two Year old Plate in October, 1843, has been awarded to Crenoline. All persons who backed her are entitled to receive, and those who betted against her are bound to pay." BLOODSTONE. A case was submitted at the last Houghton Meeting by the purchaser of the colt now called Perkin Warbeck, which ran at Ascot under the name of Bloodstone, involving the following questions: 1st. Whether the forfeits due upon the entries of Mr. Newman's ch. c. Bloodstone by Bubastes, out of Romaike, attach to the said Perkin Warbeck, so as to disqualify him from starting while they remain unpaid. 2nd. Whether it will not be competent for the present owner of Perkin Warbeck to run him in 1845, as being then a maiden four year old, believed to be by Beiram, out of Romaike. To the first question the answer was-That, as it was proved that there was a colt by Bubastes, out of Romaike, of the right age, for which the other horse was substituted, the forfeits are due for the Bubastes colt, and do not attach to the horse which ran at Ascot by the name of Bloodstone. To the second question the only answer the Stewards gave was-That the race at Ascot did not disqualify the horse which ran there as Bloodstone for running as a maiden horse. THE LATE MR. CROCKFORD'S ACCOUNT. "At a general meeting of the Jockey Club, it was resolved-That the account of the late Mr. Crockford must be settled on the first Monday in December, on a guarantee being previously given, by some persons duly authorized, that the bets due from Mr. Crockford shall be paid in full; and after that time, all persons refusing to pay shall be considered defaulters, and treated accordingly.' The above decrees, intended to set at rest matters long standing over, have by no means been respectfully or dutifully received. There is justice, certainly, in all of them; but with many of the parties affected, the weight falls on the innocent instead of the guilty. We see, however, nothing for those who mean to go on but to grin and bear it. Mr. Goodman, no doubt, is satisfied-Mr. Newman quite ready and willing to pay up his forfeits when called upon-and, when a good guarantee is found, what is to stop the final examination of Mr. Crockford's book? These unpleasant affairs have interfered somewhat with the business of the month, which at the commencement was good, but has gradually fallen off. Alarm continues as strong in his position as ever; while, as our table will show, the Cobweb colt is looking well for second. Two prominent favourites have sprung up in Brother to E.O. and Idas; and Weatherbit, Newsmonger, Young Eclipse, The Laird o'Cockpen, with one or two others, have admirers fond and free. Forth's lot, be it understood, is backed independently of the Irish allies; he is (ita dicunt) one day receiving in squadrons, and whose assistance the next contradicted upon authority. The Oaks betting-if we may use such a term— speaks for itself. |
