BETTING IN LONDON.-NATURDAT.

To-day's protwedings were chiefly remarkable for the knock-
ing about" which many of the Derby to were subjected
to, the prices in come eases varying trey five minutes, and ex-
hibiting eccentricities In their fluctuation such as to baffle the
most astute and experienced. To commence, however, with the
favourite, it is beyond a question that she retained her position
with unswerl be constancy. In the early part of the morning
doe to 130 amid led to 1 0 were but subsequently the odds
were reduced to 7.. to 40, at which rate numerous investments
were made, and the total outlay on the mare's behalf reached
close upon £l,OOO. Blue Gown was again in extraurdinary dn.
mend, the moat conspicuous bets taken about him being MO to
2el , bOO to 200 twice, and 403 to 1. uthree Muses. At this rate of
udds several smaller transactions were also concluded.
Paul Jones, after being backed at 1100 to 100, bad
some good business done in his favour at 10 to 1,
one commissioner putting on £l4OO at this figure, while
lu other quarters "ponies" and tittles were Invested
with some eagerness. The three horses thus enumerated
monopolised not uuly the heaviest bit the most genuine specu-
lation. All the representatives of the secona rank, namely,
Speculum, Suffolk, itosicrtician, Green Sleeve, Pace, and Orion,
either hung tire or progressed badly. The last-named especially
went up arid down Like a shuttlecock. At first the offers alpinist
him were 11 to 1, speedily extending to 20 to 1. at which price
he was supported for £l5O, subsequently 1000 is 40 will laid and
offered, but betide the dime of busineu there were successive
offers to accept 25 to 1, 20 to 1, and 100 to e, the concluding quo-
tations not exceeding 16 to 1. Thu Earl, on the supposition of
his being • starter, found friends at 30 to 1 and 40 to 1, but
afterwards 60 to 1 was laid to £100; at the finish, however, uo
more than 40 to 1 was obtainable. Mercury wee supported for
a good deal of tummy at 1000 to 60 and 40 to 1, while no. Rerun
mud Forest King met with friends at 1000 to 2/1 and 1000 to 15
respectively. Atter Toni Bowline colt had been supported
three or four Wows at 1000 to 10, 1000 to 7 was offered against
him without a response, and linens sunk to still lower depths,
offers of 1000 to 5 fulling to tempt an investment. Closing

BETTING AT THE WEST-END.—SnimAY.
The aspect of Vle two favourites was materially changed by
a lapse of 24 hours. Lady Elizabeth had far more layers than
backers : and after 200 to 100 had been booked twice, offers of
to 1 became general, one speculator offering 1000 to 500 on the
field. Neither did Blue Goan go well, for after 4to 1 had been
offered against hint, with bet no occasional response, 850 to 200
was offered. On the other hand, rand Jones had a very healthy
look, finding many friends at 9to , 100 to 12, and Madly 8 to
1. The two moat le request ...Tense Earl and Suffolk, the desire
to get on the first-named being so great that be was backed at
all sorts of prices,from 1000 to 40 to 1000 ten the last-mentioned
odds being booked twice : 1100 to 100 and 1000 to 100 were also
taken with a start, and 10 to 1 was offered that he would start. At
1000 to 00 and 100 to 0 Suffolk found many friends, but,theee odds
continued to be offered to the close. Neither Green Sleeve nor
Roalcracian wore to good odour, and against the last.nanzed
the desire to lay was especially mauffeat. The other transactions
were much the lame as before. Latest quotations :
