BETTING IN LONDON.-SATURDAY.

After the decision of the boat race, members flocked to
the clubs, and there was one of the best musters that
has been seen for some time past. Speculation was
brisk and heavy, especially in connection with the Two
Thousand and the Derby, and some important proceedings
took place calculated to affect the market materially.
For the first-named event, itesiernann was in good odour,
the odds of 3 to 1 finding ready takers in several direc-
tions, and 1501. being booked in one band at this price.
70 to 40 was also laid four times on Resiorooka v.
Formosa, beat of 1,2, 3. Typhoeus was in consaierable
demand, and early in the morning 8 to 1 was books.' in
his favour ; later on, however, 100 to 12 was laid several
times, and one speculator offered "eight monkeys"
spinet him. Harvester was de.idedly t lion of the
slay, all the 20'e to 1 about him being snapped up and
ultimately he was backed at as little as 100 to 71900 to
100 being also taken with a start) ; finally, however, &alight
re-action set in, and 100 to 6 was laid. His stable coca-
pardon, Pace, meanwhile went through a variety of
changes ; 100 to 7 was laid five or six times, then thirteen
ponies were taken, then 100 to 6 was booked twice, sub-
sequently 14 to 1 was taken freely and asked for, and as
the finish no more than 12 to 1 was offered, and es indeed
taken to • small amount. See Saw and Restitution were •
good deal inquired after, and met with substantial
support at their respective quotations. On the other
band, Banditto and Bine Gown exhibited a downward
tendency, as much as 1,000 to 30 being pencilled
the first-named, while repeated offers of 200 to 7 tailed
d againstto
induce any one to invest on Sir Joseph Hawley's outaider.
Rabican went even worse, offers extending from 40 to 1 to
1000 to 10 without bri4vg • single response. Among
the outsiders Michael de Basco was invested upon three or
four times at 1000 to 20, and Chelsea was frequently in-
gest::: after, but the price offered did not seem to suit.
elation on the Derby took a somewhat wide range,
gh individually not very heavy. Prolamin were
made to accept 100 to 15 about Lady Ilimbetb, but layers
as • rule fought shy, and it was only here and titers an
oomaional offer was made of 8 to 1. Against Basioreeka
the current quotation was 7 to 1, WI in ams indium 16 la
2 was offered met by a counter reopens, to wept 800 to
100. 360 to, 100 would also have been taken about
AIN two coupled, but offers did not exceed 300 a.
