At the Newmarket Meeting the lending Derby favourites
all put in an appearance for the Two Thousa- d, with the
exception of Buckstone, Neptunus, and Zetland. From
the hollow style The Marquis stalled off his opponents, he
was immediately advanced to the position of first favourite
for the blue riband of the turf, a position he will no doubt
maintain, and justly so, till the day of the race. Buckatone
still holds his position in the market with firmness, and
deservedly so, as no horse could be in better condition, and
either he or The Marquis are certain to win, but I would
advise my readers to keep a sharp lookout en Duke Rollo,
With regard to the races to be decided to-morrow at Chester,
my fancy points to ROYALLIEU, for the Palatine Cup ;
VALENTINE or INQUEST, for the Mostyn Stakes; JUNG
FRAU, for the Chesterfield Stakes; VOLTELLA or TRB
PROPHET, for the Wynnstay Handicap ; and JULIET, for
the £5O Handicap Plate. I shall refer at length to-morrow
to the Chester Cup, but in the meantime I can see nothing
in the race likely to interfere with the success of

SILKSTONE or THE VEST COLT.
A FRESH MAN.

TATTERSALLS'-SATuRDAr.

The heavy nature of the wagering upon the various items
comprising the plethoric programme of the past Spring
Meeting, as might have been anticipated, left some heavy
balances to be adjusted, notwithstanding the day to day
settling at the rooms at Newmarket. For that purpose th•
room was opened this afternoon, as also to enable the sub-
scribers to compare on the forthcoming Chester Meeting.
The attendance was unusually large, and the exchange,
although exceedingly heavy, appeared to be met with great
readiness, and passed off without a single complaint.
Shortly after the money fever had somewhat subsided the
attention of those present was directed to speculation upon
the Chester Cup, for which a fresh favourite, highly tried
by W. Day, took a decided lead in the betting, as little as 7
to 1 being taken freely ; but at last, we imagine, the layers
were the most numerous, and she left off with those odds
offered. This movement had a depressing effect upon
Zodiac, who retrograded in favour, and at the close 8 to 1
was very freely offered against him, but without meeting
with a reply. Stampedo appeared remarkably firm at 10 to
1, at which price Fairwater and the Vest Colt found sup-
port ; Wild Rose and Caractacus were in some demand,
and were steadily backed at their quoted odds to win some
hundreds, but the French representative, Hadji Stavros,
about whom quite a rush was made to obtain 12 to 1 after
his '• trial" on Friday, receded to 100 to 6 (offered) ;
Brighton was occasionally mentioned, and some few invest-
ments were made at 100 to 6. Simla was backed at 20 to
1, and the Weasel at 2,000 to 30.

THE DERBY.—The business transacted upon this im-
ortant race was extremely limited, and oonAned entirely t•
the demonstration in favour of the Stockwell colt, which
created quite a " sensation," his opening price being eagerly
secured, and he left off with an upward tendency at k 2 to 1,
taken kindly.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY.

For Chester Cup, bilkstone and Fairwater finished very
firm. 9to 1 was laid against Zodiac, but at the close 7to
I was the highest venture, which, however, was freely
offered. Early in the day 10 ►to 8 was readily taken about
Hadji Stavros, As the day advanced he receded to 100 to
4 (offered), which price was subsequently improved to 100
to 6 through the support of his admirers. No other event
to come off at Chester was touched upon. For the Derby
all that transpired within our hearing were offers to take
5 to 1 about The Marquis, which were not responded to.
