THE DERBY.
There was so much sparring about the favourites that it
was not until past five o'clock that a blow was struck, or thmt
we were enabled to ascertain the feelings with respect to Je—
reed, whose decline on Monday excited so much cbagrim
amongst his friends. Bto 1 was offered repeatedly till near
six o'clock, when some one nibbled, and at last 7 to 1 was:
taken freely, so that there is nothing very seriously the matter
after all. Benedict is a shade better, and Brother to Bay
Middleton a trifle behind Monday's quotation. Several par—
ties attempted to get on about Mango, but the layers of odds,
as in Benedict's case, are so amazingly shy that they were
fain to content themselves with 11 to 1 ; and even these odds
were not obtainable at the finish. Rococo rose to 25 to 1, but
was not backed that we observed. The closing prices were as

•Tilbury's eh. h. Prospero.
Lord \Vnterford had the lead for some time, but the horse
fell after clearing the second brook, and capsized his Lord-
ship, whose chance was thrown out. Conrad then took the
lead, and kept it, Jerry coning in second, and Spicey third.
Beanstalk fell at the brook, and never recovered his-place.
Jerry was the favourite, at about 21 to 1, Yellow Dwarf next
in call, and then Spicey. The start was from a hilly field
close to Little Hampton, and, making a circular course, finished
in the same field.
