Another heavy match across country has been signed and sealed for November next, to be decided on the same day as the opening chases at Worcester. The terms are 12 st. each, three miles, and a thousand a-side, and the champions Captain Peel and Mr. Hope Johnstone: the captain to be on Pioneer, and Mr. Johnstone on anything he may fancy from Lord Waterford's stable. In the last match of anything like this amount, it will be remembered Mr. Johnstone received forfeit from Mr. Mytton. We are happy to see Tongue's Patent Drag has now the royal patronage unsolicited and unexpected-items that ought to make the favour "doubly dear." His Royal Highness Prince Albert was himself struck with its virtues while journeying through "the Wight," and immediately ordered it an indispensable" for all the royal carriages, To many of our readers Mr. Tongue, as "Cecil" and Co., should be an old acquaintance; and so to their congratulations we leave him accordingly-our own, of course, subauditá, as we say in the Syntax. as Captain Daintree's kennel of greyhounds-bar King Cob-were sold at Alridge's in the latter end of August; but at prices scarcely so good as might have been counted on. The pick of the basket was Probity, by King Cob out of Kate, which went for fifty-double the amount of any other lot offered. STATE OF THE ODDS, &c. SALE OF BLOOD STOCK. THE BENTINCK STUD.-Three divisions of this celebrated "collection" have been offered to the public during the past month, and two of them gone clean off to a tune that augurs well for the speculation Mr. Mostyn has had the courage to engage in. A little practice in simple addition with the prices we subjoin, added to the fact that the best horses have still to be dispersed, will tend to show a return of the ten thousand as by no means the end of it. The first division came to Tattersall's on Monday, the 6th; and went off as under.

R. M. JAQUES, Esq.-Considering we were amongst the very first to call attention to the merits of Mr. Jaques as a sportsman and a country gentleman, we cannot but feel gratified in repeating the gratification of The York Herald as evinced in the following paragraph. That "the home circuit" would sooner or later come forward with something of the kind has always been our conviction, and we are glad to find the county has determined on so appropriate an occasion for its presentation. It is not, however, to one district only that Mr. Jaques need refer for a reputation; as a true friend to the turf we know scarcely one other who has displayed so much of that energy and ability which characterized the career of Lord George Bentinck. The only cause for regret is that Mr. Jaques's success on his own account, and that for racing in general, have not been a little more pari passu. We shall "back him out," though, yet. "We are much gratified to find that our fellow-citizens have determined to present this gentleman with some testimonial of respect on his retirement from the stewardship of York Races. Not only the city, but the whole county of York must feel grateful to him for the laborious exertions and the extraordinary zeal which have characterized his services as steward during the past three years. The position which York again holds in the racing world is, doubtless, attributable to the fostering care of Mr. Jaques. We congratulate our fellow-citizens on this exhibition of their good feeling towards a gentleman to whom they must feel deeply indebted." There is a rumour-not the first by any means-that Mr. Ford follows the fashion, and retires from the Turf; the report going on to say that his horses will be sold in the Second October Meeting. The "Sellinger" so entirely occupied the greater part of last month as to make it impossible to draw up a table of the Odds, or anything else "whatsomever." For the Derby the only feature observable before Doncaster was the evident desire to get on the Liberator, a feeling which died away again very soon after. The almost only effect, in fact, of the two-year-old running here (always important) has been the increase of strength to the Dutchman, and the decline of it in all the other stables that showed. It will be found that Van Tromp is now quoted at odds quite as small as ought to be expected as this season of the year. On the October Meetings the extent of business hitherto has been a little wild wagering as to Sir Tatton winning everything he is engaged in. The town and country settling, by the way, on this conquering hero has been very even and gentlemanlike; the "everlasting smash" that some people predicted in the event of his getting over it having settled down to a solitary call or so for time. The amount of William Scott's own profits (in addition to the Stake) being "sworn" at under four thousand, if not three, ought to be taken as some evidence of the moderation adhered to.
