TATTERSALL'S.

AT the early part of the month business
was very flat, nor did it become in any
degree brisk till the last week or ten
days; it then improved a little, and
some alterations were speedily effected.
Latterly Beiram and Spencer have been
at issue for the first place in the list,
and several even bets have been made
between them. On the last public day,
Spencer at one time had the call, 1,100

blood in him. Minister is less in de-

TO READERS AND CORRESPONDENTS.

THIS number concludes our second Volume, and our unfeigned thanks are due for
the liberal patronage that has been accorded us. Amid the most unfavorable times,
our circulation has increased in a manner unknown in any other branch of literature,
and our best energies shall be employed in discharge of the debt of gratitude which the
kindness of our friends has entailed upon us. The establishment of Agents in India
and the Colonies requiring a large supply of copies, this opportunity of completing sets
should not be neglected, as all unsold back numbers will be sent out in the course of
the next two months, and even should the type be re-set, the impressions from the
plates cannot possibly be so good.

The present number, though of unusual bulk, contains more "matter of course”
than its precursors, an anxious desire to accommodate all friends having induced us
to postpone the Racing Calendar to the last. We pledge ourselves however that
when we do give double numbers they shall be given, and for the future, in com-
pliance with the wishes of several friends, we intend keeping up our Racing Calendar
as near the mark as possible, so that a similar arrear will not again be found. Any
other improvements that may be suggested shall at all times be attended to, as we
are neither above our work nor yet too proud to learn.

The remainder of Dashwood's Tour, including a brilliant run with Mr. Portman,
and a capital day's sport with Mr. Yeatman's hounds, together with a Postscript entitled
"a Few Days with the B. V. H.," we are compelled to postpone till our next, in con-
sequence of the great press of matter. We must also apologize to him for our
inability to insert a second letter containing remarks on various subjects, particularly
"on a horse-dealing transaction not a hundred miles from Piccadilly".

We are sorry that we have not room to insert at length, "J. M.'s" letter with queries
on the New Game Act. In reply, we think that "A" would not be justified in pursuing
his game after notice to quit, and that the Act leaves the Law on this point as it
formerly stood. "Fresh pursuit," we should say, means either uninterrupted pursuit,
or where a cast is made in hopes of recovering, as adopted by masters of hounds in
each other's countries.—It is still an undecided point whether dog-spears or other
dangerous instruments may be erected for the preservation of game. The subject
was very fully discussed in the Court of Common Pleas, in 1817 in the case of
Deane against Clayton; but the Judges being equally divided in opinion, no judgment
was pronounced. The law may be uncertain, but what the practice is, a noble Bucks
Marquess is able to say.

"A friend to all sports" is thanked for his friendly communication.
We had no
intention of altering our system and only published the paper alluded to to show how
completely impossible it is to please every one. The arrangements ofthe volume are
on account of the Racing Calendar.

In reply to "Lily" we beg to observe that the omission he speaks of was caused
by want of space.

"Talyrand" is thanked, we dare not make promises until we see what friend
Swanquill's "May" is like, because we rather suspect he may choose fishing for
his "thesis." At all events we shall be happy to receive the "Irish Tour."
H. F. "on the Forest Laws, &c." is accepted and will appear in its turn.

"Mr. Hickman's" letter stood for insertion this month, but we found the duplicate
in the "Old Coach" last month. No man can ride in two at a time, and he ought to
have stated that he had sent it to the Old Magazine in his letter.

G. S. W. "on Trolling," if possible in our next-we shall be happy to receive
the communication he speaks of.

X. Y. Z's. letter describing a run with the " Aldingbourn Harriers," differently
stated in two places as to time-one being four hours and fifteen minutes--the other
three hours and forty minutes, but covering forty miles, must be "verified by affidavit."
"A Lover of the Country" is not forgotten. His paper on "Wild Ducks" will
appear in its turn.

We are requested to announce that Mr. John Jorrocks has kindly consented to take
the Chair at the "Ordinary" at the Epping Hunt.

Numerous favours-many of them so acceptable that it would be invidious to
particularize-must stand over till next month when they shall either be im-
mortalized, or the writers receive in the interim handsome private apologies stating
our reasons for declining them.

Ah! you April fool!-S. S.
