SUPPOSE three events depending, on the first
of which it is 6 to 1 for you, on the second and
third, 3 to 1 and 2 to 1 against you, and you want.
to know the odds against winning them all;
look for the page and line where 6 to 1, 3 to 1,
and 2 to 1, all in your favour, stand in the third
column where it is written at the top against
your winning the first and losing the second and
third, in which you will find it to be 13 to 1
against you; operated thus: X=34, 84-
6-78 to 6, which being contracted is 13 to 1, as

in the table.

Suppose 5 to 2 for you on the first, 5 to 2 and
5 to 4 against you on the second and third, what
are the odds against winning them all? Look for

Look for the line where it stands 4 to 1, 3 to 1, and 3 to 2, all in your favour, and in the fifth column (marked, against your losing the first, and winning the second and third) you will see it to be 10 to 1, work'd ××=80 as per tables.

An AFFIDAVIT to prove the QUALIFICATION of a HUNTER.

A. B. of London, Gent. maketh oath, and saith, that a bay mare, called which this deponent (by his servant) now offers to enter and run for the Hunters plate, at Reading, never started for either match or plate, but has been actually used as a hunter at the last season, and not only to get the name, but really as a hunter; nor has she been in sweats with an intention to run, but only from Lady-day last. Sworn before me this

voluntarily.

RULES relating to the Method of MATCHING and FIGHTING of COCKS in London, in practice ever since the reign of King Charles 2.

To begin the same by fighting the lightest pair of cocks (which fall in match) first proceeding upwards to the end; that every lighter pair may fight earlier than those that are heavier.

In matching (with relation to the battles,) it is a rule always in London:-That after the cocks of the main are weighed, the match-bills are compared.

That every pair of equal or dead weight, are separated, and fight against others; provided that it appears that the main can be enlarged, by adding thereto, either one battle or more thereby.
