-. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
THE DERBY.
Dervish and the Wild Huntsman were the only horses
"in good demand. At the commencement 3to 1 was
laid ,against the former to about 5001. ; at the close 5 to
2 was taken freely. The Huntsman opened at 500 to
30, taken twice, and was afterwards backed for various
sums at 15 and 14 to 1 ; 15 was the current price at
the finish,
Andover receded to 9 to 1 ; and although at first 12
t) 1 was refused to be taken about The Hermit, the
latter in the course of the afternoon was backed against
Andover for upwards of 4001. at evens.
At one time 13 and 14 to 1 were laid against Hospo-
dar, but 12 to 1 was the last price taken. A few invest-
ments were made on King Tom, at odds varying from 10
to 15 to 1 ; but towards the conclusion of business, 20 to
1 mighthave been obtained to 5001., or more, "if wanted."
Two or three " forlorn hope bets" of 40 to 1 to small sums,
were-booked about Autocrat. 25 to 1 was taken to up-
wards of 2001. about the Knight of St. George, and 1,000
to 25 three or four times about Marsyas. 1,000 to
10 several times about Prince Arthur. 1,000 to 15 once,

This morning comparing books on the Derby was the
first thing attended to. Afterwards some betting took
place on that event. In our last we chronicled, "The
downfall of the Autocrat." Since then his successor,
King Torn has abdicated, leaving Dervish in possession
of the premiership. Andover and Neville were next in
favour. Of the outside division; Knight of St. George
