BETTING IN LONDON.—TIIEBDAY AFTER/COON.
The attendance at the clubs was limited to-day, and
there was no apparent desire to speculate. For the Lin-
coln Handicap, Christmas Carol appears fur the present to
have paralysed the betting, such a good thing is it re-
gardeil, that backers are almost unanimous in pinning
their faith to him, while bookmakers can lay against
scarcely anything else. The majority of speculators de-
clined to offer any kind of price against the Carol, one per-
severing gentleman did succeed in obtaining 105 to 15, and
there were two or three offers of 6to 1 on the field.
Mount Palatine proved the neat beat favourite, and all
aorta of odds were offered against the remainder. For the
Grand National, gurney was moderately firm at 100 to 7,
and 100 to 6 was taken several times about Columbia.
King Arthur was supported for a trifle at 40 to 1, and the
remainder of the does proceedings, so far as this race was
concerned, consisted of offers. There was literally uo
Chester Cup betting. LOW to 70 was offered in vain
on the field, and the prisms of a Jew other
homes were inquired after, without, however, leading
to any business For the Two Thousand Guineas 4to I
was offered agst Plaudit, which was met by a counter pro-
position to accept .q to 1 ; 10 to 1 was offered agat Her-
mit, 1,000 to 6u Knight of the Garter, 20 to 1 Master
Butterfly, and I,oou to 30 Van Aroburgh ;40 1 was
taken about Distic to a small amount, and 40 nits
were taken about Beanstalk and Moamar' eonpled. The
again shoved hake to be a thing of mystery, he
DwitTbliacked for about 300/., the last bet booked being
830 to 100 ; but be still appeared to be in anything but an
easy position. A determined attack was made against
Plaudit; his price quickly descending from 10 to 1 to 14
to 1, at which odds a pony was invested, but offers of
13 to 1 were plentituL Master Butterfly was backed at
1,000 to 30, and the proceedings eloped. Appended are
the quotations :
