The betting on the St. Leger was quite brisk till late in the
evening', and left off at prices which could scarcely have been
expected from the opening. Carew was in great request
about five o'clock, and was backed at 13 and 14 to 1 for about
500/., immediately after he receded a point, and just at the finish
was sent to the right about by an offer from an influential party
of 1,000 to 50 ! Brother to St. Giles and Wedge are each a
shade better than last week ; and Trapball, after being backed
?yen against one or two others, was backed as low as 7 to I,

l against Vulture outright, but she was backed heavily
against others. Nothing transpired about Elis, nor could he
