"Spectator," in his letter on "Turf Topics," in the
I. Norning Star, of yesterday, remarks :—" The recent im-
portant changes in the Derby betting have been the elevation
of Lord .Palmerston's Mainstone to the premiership in the
market, the decline of Umpire and Buccaneer, and the up-
ward tendency of Lupullus. All sorts of strange rumours are •
afloat respecting Buccaneer, whiCh induce people to 'hesitate
before embarking their fortunes with him. His legs were, •
last season, regarded with, suspicion, and the reports which
are circulated, to the effect that they have been very qu' er of
late,' account for the long sherts which bare within the last.
three days been fired at him. The decline of the American
horse Umpire is attributed to the fact of his not being seen on
parade very frequently of late. Perhaps,' however, the true
cause of his fall in the market may be traced to a growing
disbelief in his alleged extraordinary merit. Lupullus is de-
scribed as wonderfully thickened, and they who have recently
seen him are loud in their praises of his fine sweeping action.
He is, however, likely to be more dangerous for the Two
Thousand than the Derby."
The room at Tattersall's was tolerably well attended on.
1 Monday, but the betting could not be said to be very im-
portant. Indeed, it was not until quite late that activity
prevailed. In the spring handicaps little alteration was
noticeable, except the rapid rise of Curlew and Tommy Noble
for the Lincoln Handicap, and Promised Land's advance for
the Chester Cup. For the Two Thousand 7 to 2 was offered
against The Wizard, but his friends held out for 4 to I ; Lupul-
lus was supported three or four times at 5 to 1, but those odds
were currently offered at the close, although at a point higher
he would have been backed for some money. Buccaneer and
Umpire made decided retrogressions ; at 8 to 1 the former was
not quite friendless, bet offers of 10 to I, and even 12 to I in
the early part of the afternoon could not tempt an investment.
For the Derby the Premier's colt Mainstone signally supplanted
Umpire as first favourite, 10 to 1 being taken freely about the
former, while the latter was feebly supported at that figure;
Thormanby, who last week evinced some symptoms of weak-
ness, receded to 12 to 1, and although backed at the close for
£lOO at that price, there were still several persons anxious to
lay. The most remarkable movements, however, were those' .
which affected Buccaneer and Nutbourne, and the demonstra-
tions against them caused sonic sensation ; Buccaneer retreated.
to 14 to 1 offered ; and Nutbourne was hopelessly out of odour,
20 to I being offered without a single response. £9OO to £2OO
were taken about Umpire and Mainstone coupled. The other
transactions require no special comment.
