meets in connexion with this event. Mayon:Use filly, about
whom &short price was taken at the clubs in the morning, found
an equal amount of support here, and after she had been backed
freely at 6 to 1, a concluding transaction was booked at 11 to S.
In the meantime Clarke was in considerable request. and 7 to 1
was scoepted to a large amount. Very shortly afterwards,
however, Foresight came Into general demand, and, by force
of the money invested on him, gave Clarke the se oby, and
left olf at 100 to 15, taken. The only other horse hacked for
money was Jasper, about whom 100 to 6 was taken kindly, and

amount only. Julius was backed fur about xsoo
at 7+ to 1, and Hermit was in great demand, but
the difference of a point or two between the price offered
and that wanted proved an impediment to anything like
extensive transactions. In the course of the afternoon,
ever, 9 1,0 1 was taken, and before the reom broke up this price
was asked for in vain. At the same moment that Mr. Chaplin's
horse was being hacked odds of 30 to 20 were tail that he would

For the Derby the Rake and D'Eatournel were particularly quiet,
and in their place Hermit was all the rage, but here again the
narrow margin of one point kept layers and backers asunder,
as 11 to 1 would have been accepted freely, but offers never
went beyond 10's. The two remaining transactions were 3,000
to 100 abort Julius, and 2,000 to 25 Foresight. Closing prices:
