CITY BETTING.-(YESTERDAY.)

The attendance both in the City and West-End was very
meagre, the majority of both backers of horses and layers
having departed for " glorious Goodwood," where there
will, no doubt, be a great meeting notwithstanding the
seeming unpropitious state of the weather, for even if wet,
Goodwood will always be Goodwood, and the company is
sure to muster strong. The Goodwood Stakes was the
all-absorbing topic of not only conversation, but busi-
ness.

Ths Stewards' Cup engrossed considerable attention,
several animals being backed with great spirit. Maggiore
was decidedly the favourite, and would have been freely
supported at Bto 1, but the longest offer was 7to 1. 100
to 8 was freely offered, bar:the favourite. Man at-Arms,
Viroflay, Fort -a - Bras, Narcissus, Contadina, Zitella,
Sweetsauce, and Cynricus, had each their supporters. Vire-
say, Fort-a-Bras, and Man-at-Arms, were each backed
at the close of business at 100 to 7. 100 to 6 was
taken about Narcissus, although at the commencement
100 to 3 could have been procured, but the odds gradually
dwindled down to the price above stated. Contadina,
Zitella, Sweetsauce, and Cynrioa wore backed reseectively
at /5 to 1, but not to any very large amount.
The Goodwood States betting created a great sensa-
tion. As little as 7to 2 was taken to a very large
amount about Satellite, so much so, indeed, that with
the bookmakers it was a case of "shut up," and even
the bookmakers themselves would in many instances rather
have been backers as far as the favourite was tvercerned.
Indeed, we have no doubt that before the telegraph hoists
the winner's name as little as 5 to 2 will have been
taken. Gridiron seemed at one time to have a tendency
to return to his old price, and 7 to 1 was taken so freely
that 6to 1 was the current offer. Bto 1 was offered about
Tocher, but he did not seem to have many supporters
at the price. Wallace was in some demand at 11 to
1, which was taken freely, so much so that at the break up
of the rooms 10 to 1 was the longest price obtainable.
Rattlebone went very bad in the market, as much as 100 to
8 went begging, and had he had any friends to have bol-
stered him up, another point, no doubt, might have been
procured. Claire and Flitch had each friends at 20 to 1,
and Riseber was decidedly on the decline, 25 to 1 was
offered in many places, but met with no response.
For the Goodwood Cup Starke was in great demand ;
5 to 1 was no sooner offered than taken, and after 9 to 2
had been taken to some money, 4 to 1 was taken, at which
price he left off. Butterfly was backed at stol by her ad-
mirers, who were numerous. Gustave was backed at 6to
1 freely, but Dangu was in such bad repute that all sorts of
prices were offered, varying from 10 to 1 to 20 to 1.
The St. Leger better was nominal in fact ; but a very
few bets came under our notice, and those of very little
moment.

the market at the time of going to press :
