done little towards stimulating the backers of favourites.

ments to any extent were in Golden Bee, Pink Bonnet, Sir
Tatton Sykes, and Regalia—the first having been backed to
at least 3001. at 1000 to 15, and in some instances at 1000 to
20 ; Pink Bonnet for 70/. at 50 to 1, Sir Tatton for about
100/. at 1000 to 15 and 20, and Regalia at 1000 to 10 to 100/.
—the acceptances amount to 108, Mr. H. Clay's Nomina-
