TATTERSALL'S.-MARCH 16.

Although the room was only thinly attended, a con-
siderable amount of business was transacted, as the sub-
joined quotations will show.
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES.—Lamprocles was again
in high favour, 6to 1 was taken freely. Several com-
missions were in hand to back Defiance, but only two or
three of them were executed on the terms required.
The general answer to applications was, Full, and
done with." Red Lion came back to 9to I—taken to
a pony— and 20 to 1 was taken to a small sum about
Pancake.

GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES.—Ariosto, Jonathan
Martin, Virago, and Lamprocles were in good request ;
10 to 1 against each of the first two was taken, 11 and
12 to 1 about Virago, 1,000 to 60 and 200 to 12 about
Lamprocles.
The odds quoted against Haco were laid to only 101.
CHESTER COP.—Offers of 20 to 1 on the field indi-
cated something unfavourable with regard to Newmin-
ster-2000 to 80 taken about Brown Brandy.
THE Two THOUSAND.-100 to 30 taken about Boiardo,
4 to 1 offered against Ruby, and 200 to 30 taken about
Champagne.
THE DERBT.—Autocrat and King Tom were still
coldly received; 9 to 1 was taken to upwards of 701.
about Dervigh ' • 425 to 25 and 1,000 to 60 about Wild
Huntsman ; 625 to 25, 1,000 to 45, and 2,000 to 100
about Marsyas, who was backed at the commencement
against Ruby for 500 even. At the close Ruby was no-
minally at 25 to 1. 500 to 15 was taken three or four
times about Andover, and some fresh investments were
made on Acrobat at 30 to 1, on the chance of his jump-
ing up again. 2,000 to 50 and 3,500 to 100 taken about
Bessus, 1,000 to 20 each Old Noll and Boiardo, 1,000
to 15 The Early Bird, and 1,000 to 15 wanted about
Ostrogotb—odds which were offered against PhEeton
after 1,000 to 20 had been taken. 1,000 to 10 betted
against Marble Hill.
THE OAKS.—The bets on this event were only to small
sums.
