AFTERNOON BETTING.
DERBY.
3to 1 agst King Tom (take 7to 2).

The above quotations justify us in placing King Tom
first. The weather to-day was delightfully fine, and the
sport and attendance exhibited considerable improve-
ment. At noon some of Lord Exeter's horses were
brought out to be sold by Messrs. Tattersall, but only
Macduff found a purchaser. The price was 80 guineas,
without his engagements. Most of the professionals
left by the 6.45 p.m. train to "assist" at Shrewsbury.

drainage of the metropolis. He regretted that that sum
should continue to bo locked up, and if they did not receive
the sanction of the Government for the expense of works of
main drainage, they should be at liberty to apply it to other
works of urgency that were frequently demand of them.
Mr. GIBSON thought the suggestion of Colonel Dawson
should be added to the application of the chairman, and
that they should use the money for other purposes.
The CHAIRMAN said they had no wish to relieve them-
selves of responsibility by tranferring it to the Government
or any other body, as recently a member of the Govern-
ment had asserted in the House of Commons that he could
not withstand or sanction any measure they proposed.
There was no moral doubt that they should not have a
judgment in general matters, but they objected to their
going into details of the works they proposed.
Lieutenant-Colonel DAVISON thought, as their hands
were tied as to the main drainage, that they should be
enabled to apply the money to some other purpose.
The CHAIRMAN said, as the season was far advanced,
with the peculiar state of prices, and the threatened ap-
proach of the cholera, there was no time to be lost. They
ought not to let 150,0001. lie idle, that might be spent with
so much advantage on other works.
The motion was then put and agreed to that works to
the amount of 75,8951. be executed.
