TAm.. ERSALL'S—YISTIanaV.
THE DERBT.—it will he collected from the quotations that
Confederate has again displaced Theon and the Angelica colt,
and has established himself as first favourite. This was not the
effect of any heavy outlay, as the betting was far from brisk,
nor was it the work of a moment, for until late in the afternoon
it would hate been difficult to say which had the call of the
four, viz., the three already me ntioned and Launcelot. The
business transacted towards 'the close removed all doubt,
and, contrary to our anticipations, the " country
nag" was once more " 'iirst in the throng." Theon was
backed three or four times at 15 to 1, and appeared
to be a shade better than Angelica, whose friends kept
rather, quiet. Launcelot was in force ; 16 to I was obtained
once, but was not offered afterwards : we cannot, quote him at
more than 15 to 1. Bokhara was in as much estimation as
ever, and left off at an improvement of a point on Monday's
price. Muley Ishmael and Ottoman were at 20 to 1 each,
the former with one backer, the other with none. DittoWardan,
who gave Way a point —no takers less than 30 to 1. Gambia
was also a trifle behind his previous quotation. St. Andrew
was backed once at 25 to 1. but the current offers against him
did not exceed 23 to 1. If we add that Prince Albert was in
much favour with some. parties who introduced, and have
throughout• supported him, we shall have said all that is neo-
cessary on this stake.
Ties OAKS.—Nothing was done about the favourites,
several offers to take 4 to 1 abOut Crucifix, and 20 to 1
about Black Bess, having been made in vain Teleta opened
at 25, and closed at 20 to 1, both taken ; and 30 to 1 was laid
and afterwards offered against Shereen.
Two THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES.—Ottoman, Crucifix,
and Muley IshMael were severally backed at 7 to I each ; but
Confederate and the Angelica colt, who are clearly the prin-
cipal favourites, at any price ; 4 to 1 was the highest offer we
heard on the field.
