Caller Ou, although carrying the top weights, is far from
out of the fray, were it not for certain parties who are never
tired of laying against the old mare. Were things amicably
arranged before they face the starter she would be my sole
representative. Welcome, with the assistance of Fordham,
must be near winning. This horse has underwent one of
these finishing preparations for which John Scott is so cele-
brated. East Lancashire, after having been knocked about,
is again firm in the market, but I think he must be getting
stale. If in anything like the form when ho ran Dollar to
half a length he must be there or thereabout at the finish.
Donnybrook and The Tartar are both under a cloud, and
it would not astonish me to seo one of them come to the re-
liet of the fielders. There is none more likely to upset the
favourites than one of the pair. Raglan is very lightly han-

dicapped for a 4-yr-old, and if he cannot win in the coal

pany that will oppose him he ought to be turned out 01

training. The Daniel o'Rourke colt has been occasionally
backed, but on Saturday a hostile demonstration set in
against him, and doubts are entertained that he may not

even see the starter. The rac9, in my opinion, will end
in a match between RAGLAN and WELCOME, and when
the numbers go up I shall expect the judge to place—

WELCOME
RAGLAN
....
EAST LANCASHIRE.... , . 3
The Great Yorkshire, to be contested cn Thursday, wil,

produce about six runners, comprising Blair Athol, Gen.
Peel, Claremont (a stable companion of Baragah, evi-
dently in reserve for the St. Leger), Ely, Guerilla, Paris,
and probably llymettus. The race will be a match between
General Peel and Claremont, giving a slight preference to
the former, as I do not believe Blair Athol can give 7lbs
to either of the two. Rapid Rhone should win the Cup,
next to whom I shall expect Caller Ou.

A FRESH MAN,

CITY BETTING-SATURDAY.

The recent movements in the Turf market upon certain
bosses in the Great Ebor handicap have been somewhat
perplexing, and, as the day for the decision of the race
approadms, the industrious ones do not let the grass grow
under their heels in the "game of speculation." First and
foremost of those animals whose gyrations in the list of
quotations have been the most eccentric is Caller-Ou, and
since her last victory at Egham her "up-and-down" posi-
tion is still more ine:tplicable. At Oxford, on Friday, as
much as 200 to 15 wa.s laid, while at the same time any
thing over 8 to 1 would have been snatrthed up eagerly in
town. This afternoon, at the Victoria Club, there was a
slight skirmish in the way of betting; but no harm was
done on either side, and all the business actually done as
we2l,as proposed will be found in the subjoined list cf
closing prices :
