LONDON BELTING.-BATITEDAY.

The close of the week in which so much good is
effected, is a positive relief to racing men and the world
general. general There was an average muster at the Victoria Club to-
day, but excitement did not run so high as during the previous
week. Student allowed healthy dims of occupying a respectable
Leg:n in the market for both the Two and Derby
long. His friends did not hesitate about taking 100 to 6,
and finally 15 to 1 for the Guineas and 18 to 1 for the Derby. atter
20 to 1 had been laid several times to money. Lord Lyon holds his
ground against all comers for both events. After GOO to 500 had
been noted for the Two Thousand, even money was offered,
while at 6 to 1, or perhaps even half a point lees, he would have
met with most substantial support for the great Epsom event.
The business done on the Handicaps was insignificant Pearl
Diver was in immense force all over the town early in the
forenoon, and at "the Clubs" he left off at 4 to 1 taken and
wanted. Drum, Whalebone, and Zskring were each backed at 7
to 1, the last bet about the former, however, being 100 to 15. It
was said that money was being got quietly on lord Zetland, who,
after being the medium of a considerable outlay at 100 to 8 left
oil at 10 to Icoffered). Dolby from the strong " party" behind
him, is in no danger of being displaced by anything in the
market at present, and his chance for the Cup seems
more likely every day. To-day 10 to 1 was the highest price
available, but at 18 to 1 or 100 to 8 he would have commanded
strong support. galactin, Sandal, sad gurney were fancied at
their quoted vetoes, but Salpinctet was knocked out to 1000 to 10
—accepted, however, three tdmes. In dealing with the Derby,
we had almost omitted to say that at the very last moment 1000
to 9D was booked about Strathconan, and that • large speculator
offered to take 65,000 to £4,000 that Rustic beats Lord Lyon.
