THE DERBY.

The Derby betting yesterday afternoon was alike inconsiderable
in amount and importance, and would scarcely call for observation
but for further improvement in the Phantasima colt and Wintonian ;
the backers of the first are increasing daily in number and eager-
ness. and there is little doubt that he will shortly occupy the posi-
tion vacated by Defender. Wintonian stands at 15 to 1, or taken
at 16. Layers and backers are equally shy about Defender, who
remains at 20 to 1; 4,500 to 100 was betted against Hybiscus
(crother to Cactus), but 15 points less were taken shortly after.
The latter may be taken as the current odds offered. No other
change will be found.
