THE FIELD. 
must, therefore, be concluded that each went to do bm best; 
but on the failure of the favourite, and Dervish dead-beaten, 
was Acrobat pushed ? This, too, may be proved Some are 
found hardy enough to assert there was no break-down with 
Boiardo, but that he was fairly pumped out. The certificate 
of a veterinary surgeon would at once set that rumour at rest. 
But an ominous calm has followed the storm ; and, for the 
honour of all parties concerned, we would fain have it 
broken. Instances of flagrant conduct, with respect to 
racing, are occasionally brought to light, and, on exposure, the 
delinquents receive severe and merited punishment, lhe 
true lovers of the turf must naturally cling to men of high 
character. The more exalted the rank of the individual, the 
more will he, in this country, be looked up to for example. 
And he should, like Crcaar’e wife, be above suspicion, r eeling 
assured that Lord Derby lias been deceived, we trust that he 
will insist on an investigation thut will place the burthen on 
the proper shoulders, and ut once refute the damaging asser- 
tions that aro mode with no " bated breath. 
The excitement on which we have been remarking rendered 
the race for the Cup a nullity, though Virago’s appearance 
luul already cast it into insignificance; no liorsc but the 
never-tiring Kingston, out of a large entry, being found bold 
enough to oppose the victoriouB strides of Mr. Howards cele- 
brated mare. On the previous day the winner of the Derby 
succumbed to heavy weight, and the fleetucss of the young 
Chicken over the T.Y.C., for the Bghuton Stakes. Omoo 
sadly disappointed her friends in the Park-hill. Both jj® J 
Rosaline cut up wretchedly. It was an 
Honeysuckle, while Jetty Treffe cleverly snatched .the £100 
second money from Sister of Mercy. Audovei had all his 
work to do to beat the handsome little chesnut Hospodar, 
for the Don Stakes. The Nursery and Scurry Stakes con- 
cluded a meeting winch, but for the unlucky drawback on 
which we have been constrained to cblato, must have been 
pronounced as excellent. . * 
1 The attention of the turfite lias been pretty well occupied 
during the week, commencing with Pontefract on Monday, 
but as the following day also saw the gnthennm at Bodfold 
and Leicester, he must have been puzzled to make Ins s lec- 
tion. At the first place, Lancashire Lass won the W est 
Riding Handicap, while both Dr. O’ Toole aud Tros, those 
money -losing steeds, evinced, if any proof were needed, that 
Sere is ample scope for improvement in their running, and 
which neither will probably effect til a future 
Bourgeois and Deformed were winners ; the lattei, probably, 
doing no goodjor herself with a prospective view to the Cam- 
bridgeshire, but, perhaps, indicating that there is something 
bettor in the stable. . ... , 
Bedford afforded an opportunity to the JcMala filly to 
make up for a series of defeats by carrying off the chief . ace 
of the meeting, the Bedfordshire Stakes. Gossip made the 
best use of a capital start, aud wrested the laurels and gums 
of the Two- Year-Old Stakes from the favourite, Rambling 
Katie ; and Michaelmas Maid claimed the Scurry Handicap. 
At Leicester Adelaide mended her pace, and proved ^the 
unexpected winner of the Leicestershire Handicap. Jack 
Sheppard gave farther evidence that lie is one of the most 
dimgerous^youngsters at large. The Scurry Handicap was 
hero placed to the credit of Butterfly. . .. . 
The Manchester Autumn Meeting commenced busmese this 
day and with every likelihood of success. The pimcipal 
item, the Wilton Handicap, has been won by a.^tsjdei a 
vountr ludv hitherto unknown to fame, bight Miss Alien ,

The muster of races thickens as we go on, 
to the Newmarket First October, where theie is a new 
feature in the shape of a Handicap Plate, given by the Eastern 
Counties Railway Company for a spin o\ ei tlie l . i 
and which may furnish an insight to the chances of some

the ST. LEGER SETTLING. 
The business of settling was resumed to-day, but the attendance of 
members was remarkably scanty, and money was evidently very 
'Amongst the written announcements that were posted over the 
mantelpiece, there was one strikingly significant ; it was to the effect 
that an “attempt" would be made to settle the accounts ot some five 
or six gentlemen whose names were appended to the notice. 
Many balances stand over; but, os no important defalcations have 
occurred, hopes arc entertained that, after a little breathing time, all 
liabilities will lie fully discharged. 
The result of the race for the St. Loger was alike unfavourable to 
tho public and to “gentlemen sportsmen.' whose confidence in hcotUs 
lot Increased in proportion us the hour of starting drew near Of 
course, a large majority of bookmakers have balances on the right side, 
but there aro very few who may be termed great .winner* The prin- 
cipal aro Mr. Davies, who saved the Knight of St George o do battle 
for him against tho favourites ; Mr. Morris, the owner of the Knight; 
Mr. Warrington, Mr. T. Bell, and two or three others connected with
