TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The Derby betting continues unfavourable for book-makers, the
field having greatly diminished in number, while, to make matters
worse, very little money is sent in to support the few horses left in
the market. The business transacted yesterday may be described
in a few words. Grey Momus was backed at 4to 1, in hundreds
in one part of the room, and at 36 to 10 in another, the closing
offers averaging 7 to 2. Phoenix's price .was equally indefinite.
We saw 6 to 1 taken in one quarter, and 7 to 1 directly after in an-
other ;we must, therefore, average him at 13 to 2. Cobham,
without being backed, remained at the closing price of Monday.
Young Rowton stood at 11 to 1, or takers of 12, till nearly half-
past six ; the 12 was then laid, and followed up by two or three
other bets at a point more ; at the same time 1,000 to 400 was
betted that Phwnix beat him. lon as on Monday, and Nonplus
three points worse. We did not sec anything done about D'Egville
or Bullion, nor did two or three fifties at 20 to 1 make any altera-
tion in Beggarman. The Early Bird suffered a fearful decline; 30
to 1 was laid, and notwithstanding only 25 to 1 was offered after-
wards, there can be no doubt that had there been any more backers
the same odds might have been obtained. Albemarle, another of
Scott's lot, came into the market, several offers having been made
to take 40 to 1. We have quoted him at 30 to las the outside
price, but cannot pledge ourselves to their being the exact odds.
The Oaks show no change worth notice, nor was speculation in it
a whit brisker than on the Derby. A long dull afternoon closed as
follows :
