LATEST BETTING: •
No offer was made either to back or lay against St.
Hubert or Lord of the Isles after the races. The only
bet on the Derby was 1,000 to 30 agst Kingstown. For
the Chester Cup 14 to 1 was taken about Early Bird.
5 to 1 was taken about St. Hubert, and 15 to 1 about
Lord of the Isles, for The Derby, before going to the
course.

The strange, perplexing, and seemingly unaccountable
movements which had of late affected the relative posi-
tions of the two leading favourites for The Two Thou-
sand, each being raised and depressed in turn, caused the
race to be invested with extraordinary interest. The
partisans on each side were equally confident to the last,
and their investments were, in the aggregate, to a very
heavy amount. The betting, however, frequently af-
forded evidences of the influence of pique and preju.
dice, and suspicions of the true capabilities of the horses
were consequently suggested. During the morning 6
and 7 to 4 were laid on St. Hubert, and 5 to 2 and 3 to
1 agst Lord of the Isles ; but, as will be seen, a slight
reaction again set in on the Heath in favour of the last-
mentioned horse. The interest which centred in the race
deepened momentarily until the start was effected, anif,
no sooner were the flags lowered, than every voice was
lnkhed. When the horses entered the cords, and St.
Hubert was seen gradually to tire, the prevalent excite-
ment burst forth in a.simultanoous shout of "Lord of
the Isles wins." The race was, however, well sustained,
and the judge, with praiseworthy promptitude, delivered
his decision in favour of Lord of the Isles by a neck.
The result was, doubtless, not a little gratifying to the
trainer, and other parties connected with the winner ;
and the suspicions which had been recently excited were
proved to be as worthless and unjust as the prejudicial
reports were exaggerated and unfounded.
Although the card contained only 4 items, and but
scanty sport was expected, yet the "Two Thousand"
alone was eifficient to attract an immense concourse of
spectators.

The wcather was dry, but a smart "North-easter"
raised clouds of dust which contributed somewhat to
mar the enjoyment of the racing.

Old Ireland and Deceitful ran nearly together to the
top, when deceitful went ahead, and made the running
to the last turning, where he was beaten. Old Ireland
then took up the work with Trembleur in close attend-
ance. In the straight a splendid set-to took place be-
tween the two, and it ended by Trembleur being landed
the winner by several lengths.
