ford Bill till Thursday week, at 12 o'clock. He would pro-
ceed with supply on the evening of Thursday first.

TATTER SAL L'S-YESTERDAY.

Thanks to Ammonia, there was a very pleasant re-
viver for the fielders in the settlement of the accounts
connected with the recent meeting at Aintree. Much of
the depression which previously existed was manifestly
removed. For a long time past loss had followed loss in
almost uninterrupted succession, so surely were the
favourites, in most instances, " spotted" against them.
On coming events only a comparatively small amount
of business was transacted.

Tros, said to have been tried very satisfactorily, was
in great force for the Goodwood Stakes ; at 7 and 6 to
1 a considerable sum of money was invested. Happy
was firm at the odds quoted. Diana under suspicion ;
at one time she receded to 10 to 1, but, after a slight
rally, 9to 1 was taken to 501. The Crusader was re-
markably quiet, considering the very active part he
played in the betting at Liverpool.

LEGEll.—After 4 to 1 had been taken about King
Tom to nearly 1001.. 5 to 1 was bettied in fifties. At the
close, however, 400 to 100 was booked.

TAB DERBY.—Throughout the afternoon a lively in-
terest was created by the introduction of a new favou-
rite bearing the " taking" title of the Lord of the Isles.
He is by Touchstone, out of Fair Helen, and is training
at William Day's. He is engaged at the Lavant and
Molecomb Stakes, next week, at Goodwood. At the
commencement 40 to 1 was laid, but so warm was the
support ho received, that at the close scarcely 25 to 1,
was obtainable. 1,000 to 100 taken in one bet about
Grmculus Esuriens, 1,000 to 50 Cruiser, 1,000 to 25 and
400 to 10 Moonbeam colt, and 1,000 to 15 Rambling
Katie.
