From the statistics compiled by "Pegasus," I cxtract the following table; which shows the number of horses who won £200 and Over during last season :—

THE BETTING MARKET. A few days back, at Sydney Tattersalls, a question was asked by a Melbourne s.ports-; man as to whether the assembled ring would lay him a large sum against a horse in the : Melbourne Cup not included amongst the favourites, offering to accept thousands, to fifty, but not to name until sufficient ha i been booked to satisfy the stable. The deaired arrangement met a quick response, and, after pencilling £25,000 or so, the name

of First Water transpired, to general surprise, as the hero of the occasion. Before the. commission let! off, however, £43,000 was accepted at the one rate. The general Opinion is that the same amount could have been secured at thousands to twenty or thirty had there been no mystery made about the horse. First Water has Bst allotted him in the Cnp,. or 61bs less than he failed 1 to carry into .a place in the same event, last year, and 81bs less than when he won the Australian Cup in 1881. On. Tuesday last Eeuter telegraphed the following as the state of the Melbourne betting market on that date ; — V.K.C.
