TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

The publication of the "acceptances" for the leading
spring handicaps created a very lively interest, but most
of the afternoon was spent in examining the official lists
for the purpose of ascertaining to what extent the
" scratchings" affected the profit and loss account.
Amongst the forfeit payers for Chester Cup are num-
bered Virago, Heapy, Mr. Sykes, Typee, and Defiance
—horses which had been backed for a good deal of
money.

Little more remains for prefatory remark.
Newminster receded to 31 to 1 taken, and the Star of
Surrey shone forth the leading favourite. At one time
Peggy ran a close race with him, 25 to 1 being taken
about each, but towards the conclusion the latter fell
back to 30 to 1 ; the confidence of her gallant supporter-
in-chief was however unshaken.
DERBY.—By a lapsus lingua, a party offered to take
500 to 125 about the favourite, and he was instantly
" shot" twice. 5 to 1 was afterwards laid. The cur-
rent offers did not, however, exceed 9 to 2. 400 to 50
was taken about King Tom, 325 to 25 about Dervish,
625 to 25, twice, about Acrobat, and 1,000 to 30
Scythian.
