usually lukewarm; and the doings this forenoon require a few
lines only. At the commencement, 5 to 1 coul4 not be ob-
tained on Van Amburgh ; 30 to 20 was offered that he beats all
Scott's other horses. Six to I was eagerly taken on Ralph.
FiYe to one was offered against Coronation, and taken on I an,
before the too.-n broke up. Ralph would have been hacked
singly agairst any foilf ; or Van singly against any three.

horses only were backed, as follows :
