Scarcely ft dozen members were present, the majority having left 
town <n route for Goodwood. 
Not n bet was booked about cither the Goodwood Cup or Stakes. The 
Stewards' Cup was talked about, but tho amount of speculation on this 
event was a bet of 200 to II each against Brocket, Antavcrta, Ephesus, 
Kennyslde Hero, and Glenstruc. 
BETTING AT MANCHESTER. — Tuesday. 
Goodwood Stakes. — A few of the members who remained nt

Wc did not see a bet luid ou either the St, Leger or any other

SPORTING MISCELLANEOUS. 
CURIOSITY. — On Tuesday last, Henry Blair, Esq., nt Lunan 
House, shot a rabbit, which bus the peculiarity of having its 
incisor or cutting teetli about two inches long, bending in 
opposite directions. How the animal could huve subsisted 
with such teeth we are at a loss to comprehend ; but we are 
sure, that when killed, it was as plump and fat as any of this 
kind which have ever filled the capacious belly of the kail pot. 
It lias been sent to our museum, and we have no doubt it 
will he found a remarkable specimen of lusus naturae 
Mon /rose Sta n da rd. 
The Moors — In ordinary seasons the Ayrshire moors 
afford fair shooting, but we regret to find that disease is 
extensively prevalent this season amongst the grouse. It 
seems to be of a different nature from the epidemic from 
which the birds suffered so much a few years ago, though 
the causes are perhaps the same. In those years the grouse 
suffered from what was called the tape-worm, by which 
their strength was utterly prostrated, and their frames 
emaciated. This year the disease lias assumed the form of 
a liver complaint— that organ becoming very large and 
losing its powers, and the birds weak and powerless in con- 
sequence. They rise from the ground, but are unable to 
fly to any distance. The disease, unhappily, is prevalent, 
and the coveys will therefore be fewer in number, and the 
birds generally in such a condition as to afford less sport 
than usual. The cause, in all probability, was the uncom- 
mon wetness of the months of May and June. If we have 
sunshine for the next month, the birds may have greatly 
recovered before the 12th. 
The Moons, &c. — Disease is still continuing among the 
grouse in this neighbourhood, having spread to the young 
birds, and it is feared that the sport this year will be inferior. 
Hares are, however, very plentiful in this quarter. In Perth- 
shire the young broods of grouse are suffering so much from 
a disease which is supposed to be tapeworm, that in some 
districts there will be a total fuilure of young birds. — Greenock 
Adver tiger. 
Peculiarities of Grouse. — A correspondent in tho 
neighbourhood of Carr-bridge says, he noticed the other day 
a remarkable instance of that wonderful instinct which, even 
in tho most timid of the feathered race, is sometimes found to 
inspire a courage almost supernatural in defence of offspring. 
As S. W. Hurrel, Esq., was crossing the hill between Carr- 
bridge and the Spey, on a fishing excursion, with some of his 
dogs following, one of them pointed, when a grey hen offered 
lo do battle in defence of her brood, and flap, flapping her 
wings like fanners, gallina, with heroic bravery, actually bent 
her canine antagonist, and, to the no 6mall wonder of tho 
party, drove him crest-fallen away. Another instance of the 
singular force of the same natural instinct may be mentioned. 
Mr. Bass, M. P., and his friends, who have taken the shoot- 
ings around Carr-bridge, are in the habit of giving presents 
to the herd-boys in the district) in order to engage them, 
bond fide , to preserve the nests, and, if possible, guard them 
against external violence. One of the keepers lately accosted 
one of the herd-boys, and in answer to several queries on the 
subject of nests, was told by the boy that in guarding tho 
game from molestation, he had no difficulty except with one 
nest, which was situated in a place much frequented by the 
cattle, and which, he said, must have been destroyed unless 
by some means protected. “ But,” continued the boy, I 
have built a little house of stones and turf about it, and that 
will prevent the cattle from geiting at it.” “ But,” replied 
the astonished keeper, “ you will certainly scare away tho 
bird." “ O, no,” rejoined the boy, “ I have left a little door 
for the hen to get in and out at, nnd she sits on the eggs as 
usual.” The keeper, on visiting the place, actually found 
this to be tho cuse ; and several persons, attracted by cu- 
riosity, have seen the same singular phenomenon, which 
seems inferior in interest only to that of the famous bird, 
lately referred to in the newspapers, that built its nest in the 
mast of a ship in harbour, aud when tho ship sailed, accom- 
panied it on its voyage.
