THE GENTLEMEN v. PLAYERS.-This, always about the crack match of the season, never commenced with more interest, or concluded amidst so much general excitement, as on the present occasion. It commenced on Monday, the 20th, and finished on the 23rd, in favour of the gentlemen by one wicket only, the last man going in against 1 to tie and 2 to win! The following is the score. Players:-Martingell, 11 and 26; Dean, 0 and 3; Box, 3 and 7; Guy, 25 and 31; Parr, 0 and 5; Butler, 6 and 11; Clark, 1 and 3; Sewell, 10 and (not out) 12; Dorrington, 5 and 1; Hillyer, 4 and 11; Lillywhite (not out), 4 and 3: byes, &c., 48: total, 230.

Mr. Moore's celebrated kennel of pointers came under the hammer of the Messrs. Tattersall, on Monday, the 30th of June, and went at the following figures : Gs. Rock, three years old, by a dog bred by Mr. Trotter, of Bishop Middleham, out of Bloss by Don, grandam Depce by Nelson, great grandam Sappho 31 Stump, three years old, by Mr. Edge's Romp, own brother to Rake, out of his Nell....

This gentleman was formerly well known as a gentleman jockey, as hunting with the Warwickshire and Atherstone hounds, and as a breeder of racing stock, among which were Mayflower, the dam of Prizeflower, the Duke of Richmond's Lothario, and many others. He left England about five years ago, and has since resided in America. A HINT TO SOME MASTERS OF HOUNDS.-The silver cups given by the Duke of Beaufort for the best two foxhound puppies returned to Badminton from his grace's Monmouthshire and Gloucestershire estates, have this year been awarded to Mr. Thomas Church, of Trelleck Grange Mill, and Mr. Thomas Wade, of Arpwell Grange, Woolastone. STATE OF THE ODDS, &c. Mr. Clark has sold the Baron, Miles's Boy, and seven yearlings to Mr. Mytton, and they have joined Wadlow's lot at Stanton; and Mr. Merry has become the owner of Hope for 410 guineas, paid under the hammer at Liverpool. Sir Charles Monck's horses have left Dawson's and joined John Scott's string under circumstances, as the following order and answer will show, anything but pleasant : FROM SIR CHARLES MONCK TO MESSRS. DAWSON. MESSRS. G. AND T. DAWSON: This letter, to be delivered to you to-morrow morning by my servant, Henry Dean, is to require you to deliver forthwith to him my four race-horses, Glossy, Flattery, Vanish, and Touchstone filly, together with their clothes, and all other things belonging to me, to be brought by him away. I think that my own just interest and fair character with the public, who have also a just interest in the events of the Turf, impose upon me the necessity of this change to be made in this manner. Your obedient servant, Belsay, July 8, 1846. CHARLES MONCK. FROM MESSRS. DAWSON TO SIR CHARLES MONCK. SIR CHARLES: Agreeable to the order contained in the letter I have received through Henry Dean, I have delivered up to him your four horses, and beg to say, had you confined yourself to a simple order for delivery, it would not have become me to question its propriety, but when you speak of being influenced in the summary step you have taken by what you say was "only due to your just interest and fair character," I feel called upon to demand of you an explanation of the unjust imputation your language is calculated to convey; and I therefore demand of you, as a gentleman, to reduce your charge against me, if you have any, to writing, in order that I may at once refute it; and in the event of your failing to do so, I think it right to give you notice that I will send your letter to me, and this my answer to it, for publication in Bell's Life, as I will not permit you, or any other man, be his rank what it may, to take the slightest liberty with my character. I am, Sir Charles, your most obedient servant, THOMAS DAWSON. The Earl of Eglinton succeeds the Marquis of Exeter as Steward of the Jockey Club; the Stewards now are Hon. Col. Anson, Lord George Bentinck, and the Earl of Eglinton. At the same meeting in which the latter was elected, it was determined, in imitation of Ascot, to pay over all the fines imposed upon jockeys at Newmarket to the Bentinck Benevolent and Provident Fund. This resolution includes the penalties of last season. DEATH OF ATTILA.-This celebrated race-horse died early in the past month at Tattersall's, Hyde Park Corner, from the effects of a rough passage from Boulogne to London. He had been covering this season in France, having been let for that purpose to Monsieur Lupin. NOMINATIONS FOR 'FORTY-EIGHT.-The Derby has closed with 217 subscribers, and the Oaks with 153. The Derby is still some twenty nominations or so on the advance, while for the Oaks the number of subscriptions are "no more and no less" than those for next year. DEATH OF LE COMTE A. DE VAUBLANC.-This amiable man and good sportsman-the Bentinck, in fact, of the French turf-died recently at the baths of Coutteret, whither he had repaired with the view of benefiting his health. The Comte's decease is supposed to be mainly attributable to the great exertion he underwent and the nervous excitement he experienced in getting up the late Grand Paris Steeple Chase; a labour of love in which we fear he received from his countrymen far more opposition than assistance. Samuel Barnard, the celebrated jockey, died suddenly at Newmarket on Monday, the 29th of June: he was in his 70th year, and had long lost his sight. At the Royal Agricultural Society's Meeting at Newcastle the prize of 30 sovs. for the best thorough-bred stallion was won by Mr. George Holmes's Newsmonger, by Voltaire, out of Cyprian, beating Bay President, Phoenix, Perion, Freedom, Ferneley, A British Yeoman, and others. The month's betting, as far as we have to speak of it, has been, on the whole, but indifferent. As the salt of the Goodwood speculation will have lost its savour on the very day our magazine is published, we decline entering on any of the suppositions of what, by then, will be wellestablished facts. For the Leger an apathy as to one and all has been the most remarkable feature; Pyrrhus gradually attaining the first, as much by the chapter of accident as any spirited support. Of the "knock'em-downs," however, Fancy Boy appears to be coming again; while Sir Tatton (or, to be thoroughly explicit) Sir Tatton Sykes is just at these presents palpably in trouble. Brocardo, too, it will be observed, looks a little less formidable than of late; while Dolo, notwithstanding his consecutive triumphs, and the great force the stable is in, has not yet improved on the 20 to 1 we left him at last month. Our Derby Table will demonstrate the strength we allude to by the position Van Tromp holds on it: a worthy witness to his Liverpool running, that we are inclined to believe his Goodwood performances will do much to confirm. Whether or no, we can now deservedly quote him as first favourite for the Derby, while Miles's Boy, Cossack, and such like pretenders to the throne, have been sent "bock agin" into their native obscurity. Of the other young ones honoured with a place in our pages, Epirote, Crozier, and Halo are the most in request.
