BETTING IN LONDON.—FamAy ArrmutooN.
Several of the members having returned to town, there was I
better muster at therlubs to-day than might have been expecte,
and although the betting did not take a aide range, the after.
noon's transactions were not without their significance. 11l
most important movement was the entraonlinary degree
favour accorded to Hermit, who was backed fur both
his engagements at a much shorter price than It
has seen for some time. For the Two Thousand, s.
eager was the desire to. get on, that in a short apace of tine
he advanced from 12 to 1 to Sto t taken. lie was also backe!
at 300 to 100 with a start, and 30 to 20 was betted on btu
against Plaudit, both to run at the same time. Air. Chaplbt
colt was supported for the Derby at 12 to 1, and this not heir:
afterwards obtainable, one gentleman offered to take 2,200 b
200, but be could not he accoinmodated The hem of the di,
was alio backed for the double event at 1,000 to 20 and 500 t.
10, and had the layer been disposed to go on he would hate
secured plenty of custom. Julius had a receding appearance
for the Two Thousand, and there appeared to he a desires,
lay against Vauban. The odds of 10 to 1 were offered &Wirt
1/Tatou:Del for the Derby, but The Rake's price did n.,t teas
spire. Foe the Oaks! to 1 was offered against Achievement
and for the City and Suburban Aldcruft and Lowdown wet,
