TATTERSALL'S. —I4ONDAY.
The meeting at Tatters&ll'a to-day was neither nume-
rates nor enthusiastic ; the first hour or so passed without
!Mottling a single bet, and many members who dropped in
went away without transacting any business. At leegth,
however, the Leamington Stakes was mentioned, and 2 to
I being the highest offer against Bseswing, ►he WWI backed,
presumably fur the owner, to win several hundreds. The
backer was desirous of increasing his investments, but
layers declined to go on. Pintail was the only other men-
tioned, she meeting with a limited amount of enpport at 5
to I. The offer of 100 to 0 against llooitreta, coupled
with the strong favouritism of Booming, as already noted,
left little doubt as to which was " the Squire's ' intended.
Neither layers nor backers seemed disposed to deal with
the Great Yorkshire Handicap, 100 to 7 taken about
Laneret being the only transaction that came within our
notice. For the St. Leger, Hermit maintained his position
of first favourite with remarkable firmness. 6to 4 would
have been readily accepted, and 3011 to 200 might have been
booked in one bet, but the general quotation was no
more than 5 to 4, although just at the finish one
speculator offered :Ai to 40. There appeared to be •
general desire to lay against Achievement, nevertheless
the offers in no instance exceeded 7 to 4, and the price
was accepted here and there to small amounts. 100 to 6
was taken about Vauban, and the munificent sum of two
so►ereigns was invested on Taraban, at the rate of 150 to 1, I
Certainly the marked feature of the present St. Leger
betting is the extraordinary amount of confidence reposed
in the two favourites to the almost utter exclusion of the
remaining candidates. It will be seen that on each of the
favourites 100 to 40 was laid for a " situation," 50 to 20 was
ado taken about Vauban for the mine contingency, and
the backer would have repeated the bet, but thereafter no
more than 2 to 1 could be obtained. As regards the
Derby, one speculator offered to back Lady Elizalseth, but
so offer was forthcoming. Grant des liatailles, Glenderg,
mid Uncut were each moderately supplied at the graduating
pylon of 28 to 1, :13 to I, and 40 to I—nothing else, so far
as we are aware, being touched upon. Closing quotations
