Soon after the commencement of business, 3,000 to

taken to 5001.; the current price, however, througuout
the afternoon vas 100 to 30, taken and offered.
Flatterer was backed at 100 to 15, and Flacrow at 100
to 6 and 100 to 7. 600 to 50 was taken once about
Vandyke, but 10,0 to 30 was afterwards obtainable.
Veteran and Calamui were backed for some money at
500 to 30 each. At the close the former was slightly in
advance of the latter.

were taken about Miss Allen, 40 and 50 to 1 about
