The room was very fully attended, but business etas not so brisk

D'Egville, first at 20 and afterwarcia alt 16 to I pitied by the
feeling displayed, we should say that he is likely to take a still higher
ground before the day. Bullion, Conservator, and the Early Bird
are quoted at the highest prices we heard offered—we are not aware
that either was backed outright.. 2,000 to 60 was backed against
Drum-Major, but as 1,000 to 20 was afterwards laid, we have
thought it safest to give the highest quotation. The Oaks was
very dull affair; Ninny and Brown Duchess have sprung a point or
two each, owing, no doubt, to the signal defeats sustained by
Unique, Glenara, the Fairy Queen, &c., having materially weakened
the field. The following statement comprises pretty nearly all that
was said or done from three till half-past six o'clock
