TATTEISALL§2-YESTERDAY,

The overcrowded stite of the room added greatly to the
difficulties attending 8, heavy a settling as that consequent
, upon the recent Nortlampton meeting. At times it was
with extreme difficultythat those principally interested as
commission agents for tte provincial bookmakers and others
could elbow their way tirough the excited throng so as to
enable theta to meet these with whom they had outstand-
ing balances ; and it Wa not until an unusually late hour
that the "Babel of tongteri," and the exchange of money
had subsided sufficientll to enable those least interested in
the proceedings to comaenco speculation upon the forth-
coming events at Epsoreon Thursday and Friday.

tions were carried out. 3oth Phantom and Vancouver ap-
peared to have a host of ,dherents, the former particularly,
who gave evidence, from he eagerness to clutch at his open-
ing price, that they had something substantial to depend
upon ; and at the close it tppearod a real good thing at 11 to
2, at which price Vancouvt was supported. 11 to 1 was ac-
cepted about Suburban tosome money. At the same Ducat
appeared to be mot with of every side by opponents. All
sorts of prices were offered and every doubt expressed about
his meeting the starter, but after patient inquiries we be-
lieve wo shall be found cotect in returning his closing price
at 100 to 8. The unexpected advent of Olive Branch in the
city in the morning at all sorts of outside prices, instead of
throwing oil upon the troubled waters, created additional
interest in the proceedings here in the afternoon, her closing
price eastward being eagerly secured, and at last as little as
15 to 1 to good money wasaccepted. Mr. Merry's represen-
tative did not appear so bioyant, and, notwithstanding his
owner was present, 15 to 1--five points more than his last
quotation—was freely offered; without meeting with a cus-
tomer. 1,000 to 60 in one bet was taken about Limosina,
but similar odds could hays been obtained to the last. Saw-
cutter was nibbled at, at hs quoted odds, and Sappho from
the outside division met vith a few supporters at 1,000 to
20.. The only mention we heard of the Great Metropolitan
Stakes was with reference to Ducat and Brighton, the for-
mer at 8 to 1, and the latter at 20 to 1 to a pony each.

THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.—OId Calabar, the de-
spised one day, the favourite the next, it appears was not
in favour at the club in the morning. Many in consequence
took the opportunity of gettng out at 9 to 2, but during the

was taken about Baron Rothschild's colt, and similar odds
offered against Caterer ; Nottingham was backed at 12 to 1,
and Marble Hill at 30 to 1.

THE CHESTER CUP is a perfect dead letter. The only
animals that came under our notice was Fairwater, about
whom 100 to 6 was taken a few times, 100 I o 8 Hadji Stavros,
and 50 to 1 about Bevis,
