As usual there was a great crush at the coiner, and a
considerable number of horses were backed for the Derby;
the business, however, on the whole, was not by any means
extensive, nor were the fluctuations of much importar ce.
Of John Day's lot, reduced to two by a declaration that
none of ➢lr. Gully's horses will start, The Cossack had an
undisputed call, an even 1,000 having been followed by a
bet of COO to 500. Of Kent's lot Planet, Glentilt, Red
Hart, and Halo, were in betting, the first and third having
the strongest parties. Oxonian was the "lion" of Forth's
lot, but several scores and fifteens were invested on Old
Port. Van Tromp was on the decline, and Mr. Martin
altogether out of favour; nor was any disposition evinced
in favour of The Liberator, Nottingham, or Clarendon. Very
little done on the Oaks. Closing prices :
