BETTING IN LONDON.-SATCRDAY.

The muster at the clubs to-day was a very large one, and
an extraordinary amount of betting took place on the
Cambridgeshire. After a little beating about the bush it
became obvious that Honesty was first favourite, offers
against him for some time not exceeding Bto 1. Directly,
however, an additional point was conceded, it was taken,
and several other horses being backed in the interim,
10 to 1 was offered in two or three quarters, and to use a
homely simile, backers were " ready to jump down their
(the layers) throats ;" as a consequence the horse returned
to his original price, and at the finish there was a manifest
disinclination to lay at all. Meanwhile Julius gradually
receded to 100 to 7, at which odds 500 to :15 was taken.
One large speculator also offered ri " monkeys " against
him with a run, which provoked another offer of
two ponies to one that he would run. Fri-
ponnier held a somewhat indifferent position ; be was
Nicked, it is true, several times, at 15 to 1 and 100 to 7,
but Mime who supported him, by confining their invest-
ments to mall amounts, did not seem to repose any great
amount of faith in their champion ; one gentleman offered
to lay an even tenncr that he did not start, and at any rate
this was not Friponnier's day. Beyond all question
Wroughton was one of the moat genuinely supported horses
that came into the betting ; the aggregate investments in
his favour could not have been less than 500/. or 6001., and
the pricestaken ranged from 20 to 1 to 15 to 1. At the open-
ing of business an offer was also made to accept 15 fifties
about Wroughton and Gardevisure coupled. -But the lion
of the day was decidedly Knight of the Garter, the firstsign
of whose coming was in the taking of 1000 to 40 twice.
He was then backed several times in rapid succession, the
last bet being 2000 to 100, and in the aggregate he was
supported to win all 15,000/. Actsea was made the medium
of several quiet investments at 18 to 1, and 1000 to 70
" with a start," was takes twice. Lozenge and Valorous
also bad friends, who booked 1000 to 40, :",00 to 20, and
some smaller bets. Blinkhoolie had a most unhealthy
appearance—be started at 100 to g taken, and gradually
declined to 25 to 1, being laid against to lose • total of
between 7,0001. and MOW. Four horses, namely, Linnet,
Ammunition, Arruourer' and Nu. were each backed to •
limited extent at 49 to 1, but these odds were forthcoming
at the close. For the remainder the quotations will speak.
The Derby was mentioned occasionally, but beyond au
offer to take 1000 to 30 about Blue Gown there is nothing
to record. Appended are the prices at the close:
