BETTLNG IN LONDON. -SATURDAY.

The interest which the two great autumn handicaps now
awaken in be.ting circles was made manifest by the large
attendee ce of members at the clubs to-day, as well as by
the extent and variety of the transactions that took place.
For the Ceearewitch, Lothario and Bradamante were
equally first favourites, 10 to 1 being freely accepted about
each, and both securing a large investment of coin and
confidence. Against the mysterious Potou.ac the odds of
100 to 8 were offered, and at a point more she would have
found some friends, but the point was not conceded, and
she was not backed. Dubiety, who has been until recently
kept in the background, advanced to the front rank to.
day, and was supported at 1,000 to 60, and at the propor-
tionate rate of odds for smaller amounts, several times.
Pearl Diver was exceedingly firm, and after being backed
at 20 to 1 for good money, his supporters were content to
take two points less. Ethelred's partisans also exhausted
all the 20e to 1 obtainable, and asked in vain for that
price at the close. Mathilde had a hazy look, was seldom
inqu'-ed after. never backed, and when mentioned imme-
diately kat aside for something else. Chepstow—the
hero of Newmarket--was decidedly out of favour, and
gradually receded point by point ; and although he
was backed for small sums at 20 to 1 and 25
to 1, the latter price was offered against him at the
close with an alacrity which could be anything but
reassuring to backers. The odds of 33 to 1 were offered against
Regalia, and a counter-proposition to take 40 to 1 was rot
responded to. Jollity's case appeared serious ; she was
knocked about like a shuttlecock, and subjected to an
amount of hostility which seemed to indicate that her
end washed approaching. Abergeldie, Rains., Aetna, and
Duke of York were each backed at 50 to 1 ; and among
the extreme outsiders, War, Proserpina, Lecturer, Gibral-
tar, and Burney were entrusted with limited outlays. The
speculation on the Cambridgeshire was contracted within
the narrowest bounds. Chepstow was freely supported at
Bto 1, and the taking of so short a price for this event,
coupled with the fact of such long odds being offered
against him for the other race, indicates pretty plainly
which his journey will be. Affidavit was inquired after,
and would have been backed at 20 to 1, but no more than
100 to 6 was offered. One bookmaker wrote the name of
Charmette, and here the Cambridgeshire betting ceased.
Nothing was done on the Derby, and all that we heard
was an offer to take 20 to 1 about Dragon. The closing
prices were as follows :
