very significant and important. Dervish was in immense
force. At the commencement sto 1 was laid, bnt in
less than an hour afterwards 4 to 1 was taken to several
hundreds ; 2,000 to 500 was booked in one bet. It
transpired that the impulse was imparted in the course
of the morning at the Club, the higher odds being.
taken there to 4501. Meanwhile, Autocrat was so
severely shaken, that the investment of upwards of
5001. at 6 to 1 could scarcely arrest his downward tend-
ency. 6to 1 was still offered at the finish. King Tom,
though closely pressed by Dervish, maintained his lead
with a degree of strength which gave encouragement to
his backers. 7 to 2 were the highest odds obtain-
able. In the early part of the afternoon 300 to 100
was taken. 600 to 500 betted between him and Der-
vish. Andover was a little unsteady—after 1100 to 100
had been taken, he receded to 12 to 1 " offered to
