The Wizard was backed for a very large sum of money
at 5 to 2, and advanced to the price quoted, 2 to 1 at one
time being the highest offer obtainable against him. Main-
stone advanced to 20 to 1, at which price a considerable
amount was laid out. Otherwise the changes were unim-
portant.

CITY BETTING-YESTERDAY.

The Racing limes says that in the City, and, indeed, at
all the , well-known places, business was doing, but not
to the extent we have. usually seen on the eve of the
Derby. With the exception of the three first favourites,
there was plenty of money to be laid about any
horse in the race. There was a good deal of conversation
amongst those who had actually seen the horses out in the
morning. Mainstone, it was announced, had been exa-
mined at Danebury specially by Mr. Spencer, the well-
known veterinary surgeon, who had at once declared
that the horse was perfectly sound, and fit to
run. These therefore, who, having backed him, were on
Saturday under apprehension as to his starting, may rest
assured that Mainstone will be amongst the field. It is a
remarkable coincidence that the sire of Mainstone, King
Tom, was placed in a somewhat similar position to Main-
stone, and yet he started and ran second for the
Derby. Those who have taken liberties with Mainstone
may possibly find it difficult to get out on profitable terms.
Those who had seen Horror on the Downs describe him as
a remarkably good-looking one, but a bad goer. He did
not please the good judges. Lanchester was closely
watched, and he looked remarkably well. It is reported
that he has been tried with Volatile, and that he gave her,
two stone and beat her. This has caused him to be
much inquired after this morning. High Treason looked
well, but the verdict respecting him was that he was leggy.
He did not create a good impression. Winton was pro-
nounced to be the best looking and the best goer that was
out, and he is a good outsider.

The business on the Derby, as we have said, was compa-
ratively limited. The Wizard and Thormanby were the
two in great force this morning. Umpire was not so
strong, and 4to 1 was currently offered. Nutbourne was
repeatedly backed at 100 to 7. Buccaneer was supported
at 500 to 30, and 100 to 7 was afterwards the highest offer
against him. There were plenty of offers of 20 to 1 each
against High Treason and Horror, and Tom Bowline was
not so good a favourite as he was on Saturday. 33 to 1
could have been easily had. Restes and The Rap were
each backed at 40 to 1, and 1,000 to 20 was taken twice
about Mainstone, and he exhibited all the appearances of
coming to a shorter price.
Tun Oaxs.-4 to 1 at one time could have been obtained
on the field. Seclusion went back, and Viatka had deci-
dedly the call of her. Rupee and Emily were each backed
for money, and 8 to 1 was taken kindly about each. 10 to 1
could have been had about Sagitta, and 100 to 7 any other.
The following are the quotations of the latest business
that was done :
