TATTERSALL'S.—THURSDAY.
What with the settling of the Bath account, compar-
ing bets on the Derby, and booking additional invest-
ments, a good deal of business was transacted. The
betting was not, however, marked by any very import-
ant point of difference from the quotations last published,
except with regard to Vandetmulin, who "came again"
with much force. In City circles be was backed freely
during the morning, and at "The Corner" 12 to 1 was
taken about him to some money. These odds were,
however, currently offered at the close. The investment,:
on Wentworth at 3 to 1 exceeded 1000/ , and backers,
hardening in confidence, were evidently willing to go on.
Fazzoletto was in considerable request ; 5 to 1 was
taken to several hundred pounds. At
half a point.
higher the outlay in his favour would have been greatly
increased ; 8 to 1 was offered against Can noble,
rt of and
the
'9
to 1 taken about Artillery. In the early pa
afternoon 10 to 1 was booked to 501. about Coroner ;
subsequently 11 to 1 was Lid, and at last 12 to 1 was
offered. Several inquiries were made about Fly-by-
Night, but we did not see him backed ; 15 to 1 in fifties
would have been betted. At 1000 to 30, 30 to 1,
and 25 to 1, the investments on Ellington amounted to
about 7001. ; 30 to 1 wai his closing price. The odds
quoted again-t the Prince was taken to 1001. Of the
outsiders, Cotswold and the Barbarina colt were in most
demand.
The prices at the conclusion of the business were as
under:--
