TATTE RSALL'S. --MONDAY.
Speculation on the. Liverpool Grand National wag
carried on with considerable spirit.
The horses in most demand were Crabbs and Half-
and-Half ; the former at 100 to 8, 11 to 1, and finally 10
to 1, and the latter at 12 and 11 to 1. Crabbs wag.
however, much the stronger of the two.
Bourton was very firm at the odds quoted, but Mies
Mowbray was evidently tottering : 600 to 100 was laid
in one bet. Some money was put on Cockcrow at 20 to
1. and two or three poneys were intrusted to Burnt
Sienna at 25 to 1. Peter's average price was about 100
to 6.

METROPOLITAN STAKES.-500 to 25 taken about Mue•
oovite, and 625 to 25 about Rataplan. Notking aloe
mentioned.

CHESTER Cur.—Newminster was backed for 501. at
20 to 1, odds which were repeatedly offered against The
Star of Surrey, who appears to have reached the calum-
niating point, and is beginning to grow dim.
Two THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES.—A slight reaction
took place with regard to. Boiardo-400 to 100 was
booked.

DERBY . —Autocrat was still suffering from the blow*
which had been recently dealt upon him at the club. 5
to 1 was now and then taken, but only to a compara-
tively small amount. The opposition which he has ex-
perienced may, however, be only a ruse de course. King.
Tom was backed for upwards of 3501. at 7 to 1, and
Dervish improved a point or two ; after 15 to 1 had be-eIL
laid to 501., 14 to 1 was taken to the like sum ; 1,000 to
50 taken about Ruby ; 550 to 25 Acrobat ; 400 to 117
twice, and 1,000 to 30 Marsyas ; 2,000 to 50 Bonus ;
and 1,250 to 25 The Early. Bird.
