TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The St. Leger betting exhibited no improvement in extent
and very little in character. We need only state that 3to 1
was taken eagerly about Laur celot, and that a marked anxietY
to back Gibraltar caused the offers against him to fall a point
no one venturing to exceed 7 to lat the close. 10 to 1 'seat
laid against Crucifix to a small amount, being an advance on
Monday's odds. Maroon was on the decline ; ditto Galen,
against whom Broadwath was backed with a call of 6 to 5 ;
at hi!
actual price did not transpire. The bets against Theon 'a
St. Andrew are in accordance with the last quotations from Wel'
vet hampton. Closing prices:—

of sulphuric acid, but und, r what circumstances taken

which were thrown over its chest and abdomen. Verdict,
" Accidental death."
