The room was fully attended, and several bets were made.
on the Derby, at odds varying in several particulars from those
quoted on Monday. Brother to Bay Middleton was decidedly
first on the list, but no blow was struck until past six o'clock,
when 8 to 1 was taken about him; 15 to 2 was then offered,
and at the last moment 17 to 2; 9 to 1 was taken about Jereed
to a pony, and afterwards offered, and 6 to 5 laid in fifties
between the two. Benedict was backed fur a hundred pounds
at 91 to 1, and Mango for the same amount at 11 to I, both
leaving off a shade better; indeed a pony was laid out on the
latter at the odds mentioned below. Sambo did not sustain
the position he filled on Monday, although between two and
three hundred pounds were laid out at 17, 20, 22, and 24 to 1,
the last price being 20 to I offered; he evidently suffered
from the anxiety manifested to back Mickle Fell. Rat-trap
was backed fur two or three hendr'ed pounds without moving.

trial on Wednesday at Newmarket; he had been backed in
two or three quarters to win an immense stake. The closing

Venison arrived at Newmarket on Waneslay in the cara-
van, accompanied by the Drummer, aid Bay Middleton alter-
wards took.took an inside place by the same conveyance to
Stockbridge ; it does not appear that either of the ti:rce made
any objection to this novel way or travelling.
