evening.
The Wild Duck colt (in the Derby) died this afternoon.
This was the most prosperous " opening day" known at a
Craven Meeting for four or five years • the weather was de-
lightful, the company numerous and fashionable, and the sport
of more than average quaetity and goodness ; its results, how-
ever, were not produettre of any serious effect upon the Derby
betting. Thcon's victory having been over horses of iuoderate
pretensions, whilst Ottoman's defeat only served to confirm the
unfavourable impression which has been shown for some Cue
past by the quotations from Tattersall's. The usual list of ar-
rivals in our next.
