THURSDAY AFTERNOON, THREE O'CLOCK.

The sport this afternoon was similar to Wednesday,
consisting of four events, of which one only possessed
any importance beywid the amount, viz.—the 100 sovs.
Stakes, in which Planet, first favourite for the Derby,
and Epirote, winner of the Column, were pitted against
each other. Interesting as this race must have been to
sporting men, the excitement in the ring was small, and
the speculators even le.s numerous than on Wednesday ;
the result is given below ;—the immediate effect on the
Derby betting was to raise Planet to 6 to 1 and to send
e Epirot to 20 to 1.
