TATTERSALL'S—MoNDAT.

Speculation moved very slowly at first, but proceeded
somewhat briskly towards the close.
The transactions placed St. Hubert at the head of the
list, for which 10 to 1 was the highest offer ventured
against him, 11 and 12 to 1 against De Clare and Grm-
coins Esuriens were laid to some money. St. Hubert
was not backed outright, but soon after the commence-
ment his real position was made manifest by 1,000 even
and 500 even being betted that he beats Grmculus, and
1,000 even being offered that he and Lerd of the Isles
beat any other two. Oulston and Rifleman were nomi-
nally at 15 to 1 each, but they had nevertheless staunch
adherents who would have increased their investments
had a point or two more been offered.
Polydore again found ready takers of 1,000 to 35, and
in two or three instances 1,000 to 40 was booked ; the
higher odds were, however, again obtainable afterwards,
The quotations against Wild Dayrell and Flatterer were
only to small sums. Rambling Katie was backed four
, or five times at 1,000 tols, and the same odds were laid
against Clementina colt.
The prices at the close were as:follow :
