LATEST CUP BETTING LAST NIGHT AT THE ROYAL HOTEL.
Early in the day One Act was freely backed at 6 to 1,
but on being beaten for the Palatino Stakes, she rapidly sank
in public favour, 12 and 15 to 1 being freely offered. The
betting at the Royal Hotel last night was about as follows :-
8 to 1 agst Imogene.
9 to 1 agst Stork.
10 to 1 agst Yorkshire Grey.
9 to 1 agst Yellow Jack.
9 to 1 agst Typee.

The Cup is set down to bo run for at twenty minutes to
four o'clock, and we learn that the stewards intend to be punc-
tual to the time. About twenty-seven or twenty-eight horses
are expected to come to the post, and it is most likely that
Imogene, Yorkshire Grey, Yellow Jack, Stork, or Typee,
will be the winner.
