TATTERSALL'S-SATURDAY.

Monday being the fixture for the commencement of the
Newmarket Craven, an extra day for the heavy settling
which must have inevitably follow such an important
meeting as Epsom Spring was imperative, and accordingly
Saturday was appointed for that purpose. The muster,
however, was not so ?arge as might have been anticipated,
and although a considerable amount of money changed
hands, a heavy amount had to stand over for the ensuing
week at Newmarket. Considering the paucity of members
betting was spirited, several animals being heavily invested
in for the Derby, while some little novelty attached to the
Two Thousand, owing to the introduction of one or two
fresh names. Fille de l'Air was very strongly fancied, and
was supported on the quiet at 4 to 1; but 7 to 2 was the
highest offer before business was entirely suspended.
Sir Roger was backed to win several hundreds at
100 to 7, and left off at 100 to 8 offered, while
his stable companion, The Chief, receded to 25
to 1, taken and offered. Almost the first bat
booked was 20 " hundreds" about Lord Stamford's
" repurchased " Acolyte, about whom frequent inquiries
were made during the afternoon, at prices varying from
that named to 30 to 1. Very little was done on the Chester
Cup, the only bets that came under our notice being 20 to 1
to a pony about Lord Zetland, and 500 to 15 twice about
Farce. Scottish Chief was very firm for the Derby, and
that too without any especial demonstration, a cool thousand
being got on very quietly at 15 to 2. The recent success
of his stable companion in the City and Suburban Handi-
cap made Birch Broom a still better favourite than he was
early in the week, 100 to 7 having been accepted about Lord
Westmoreland's horse. Forager was again in his place,
1,000 to 60 having been booked twice, notwithstanding one
or two futile attempts to depreciate him in the market.
Among the outside division the Major, one of the three
dead-heaters in the Metropolitan, was entrusted with most
money, being backed to win something like £20,000, at 66
to 1. Lord Glasgow's and John Scott's "lots " were
backed at 11 to 1 and 12 to 1 respectively ; and several
place bets were also noted, which will be found in the sub-
joined list of closing prices :
