The betting was marked by a few important changes.
FOR THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKEs.—Defiance was
the lion of the day. After 5 to 1 had been taken to some
money, he sprang to 4 to 1, taken to upwards of 1501.
Lamprocles, against whom 10 to 1 had been laid in the
City, was backed for about 1251., at Bto 1. Pancake
rose to 12 to 1, taken.

GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES.-7 to 1 was the high-
est price obtainable about Jonathan Martin ; 11 and 10
to 1 betted against Virago, to a small amount ; and 400
to 20 taken about Lamprocles. Ariosto was out of
favour.

CHESTER CUP.—A strong commission was in the mar-
ket to back Baalbec, most of which was executed at 30
to 1. Towards the close 2,000 to 70, and 1,000 to 35
were taken ; the latest quotation was 25 to 1. New-
minster had a strong downward tendency, which no one
seemed disposed to arrest.

DEnnY.-:-The shade which for some time past has
been on Autocrat and King Tom, was somewhat deepened
by 7 to 1 being laid in ponies against the former, and 9
to lin fifties against the latter. 1,800 to 100, 1,700 to
100, and 1,000 to 60 taken about Wild Huntsman ; and
50 and 45 to Ito various sums about Old Noll. Ruby
was quite friendless. Further comment is unnecessary.
