TATTERSALL'S.—MONDAY.
Although the attendance was not very large, there was
some good business done, the wagering on the Two Thou-
sand and the Derby being for the time of the year un-
usually heavy and extensive. Oa the Lincohishire Handi-
cap and the Chester Cup the betting was oomperstively
trifling and without feature. For the Grand National the
only home in the front rank backed for money was The
Plover, Who found supporters at first at 25 to 1, and
afterwards at 20 to 1. Shakespeare, as at the clubs, had
an unhealthy look, offers of 25 to 1 meeting with no sort
of response. Port Royal, Helen, sad Captaia &mitres
were also backed to win a fairish stake each. The notice-
able feature in connection with this event, however, was
the back,ing of Lord Coventry's lot, and Mr. Barber's lot,
one gentleman investing .101. on the first-named, and 1501.
on the latter. For the Two Thousand, 100 to 40 was in
the early part of the aiternoon obtained in two or three
instances about Rosicrucian, but subsequently offers were
reduced to 9 to 4, and 5 to 2 would have been taken. 100 to 60
was taken with a start, the layer offering to go on. 7to
1 was quoted against Formosa, which met with no re-
sponse, but 5 to 1, with a start, being offered, one gentle-
man accepted 1000 to 200, and some minor bets were
booked on the same terms. Against Pace, Bto 1 was
offered, with a counter bid to accept 9to 1, but no blow
was struck. 1000 to was booked about Etaaditto, St.
Ronan, and Rabican, but the prices were exticaial, as
the three were backed at once. On the Derby, a levia-
than bookmaker offered " six monkeys" against Lady
Elizabeth, and after an endeavour bad been made by one
speculator to procure 1300 to 200, 600 to 100 was ac-
.:opted—the layer desiring to extend his operations. Roof-
crucian was laid against in one bet of 706 to 100, but after-
wards no more than 100 to 15 was forthcoming, and this
was booked several times. Green Sleeve declined slightly
—offers of 11 to 1 against her bringing no bid. There
were also offers in plenty against Suffolk of 20 to 1. Cocas
and Harvester were each offered to be laid against at 1000
to 30 without producing any transaction. Banditto, Blue
Gown, and Rubican had 40 ponies taken about each, and
See Saw was supported at 1000 to 20 three times. Mr.
Chaplin's outsider, St. Ronan, met with a good friend, who
accepted 2000 to 24 about him. Closing prices

BETTING IN LONDON.—MoxnAY.

A considerable amount of activity was displayed at the
clubs this morning ; but although speculation took a some-
what whle range, the investments were as a rule limited.

Cheater Cup again progressed slowly. Viridia found ,
ready takers at ltiO to d, and was the only animal backed
for much money. Abergeldie's position was slightly im-

introduced into the quotations at 1,000 to taken.

for apew.al remark, the prices of the vat ious candidatss re-
maining much the same as before. In the course of the
