VICTORIA BETTING.—This DAY.

Lecturer to-day was in great force for the Ches-
ter Cup, Bto 1 being greedily snapped up. Both
Rama and Proserpine were in good request, and
several outsiders were mentioned—Archimedes, of
these, being backed in a generally well-informed
quarter. Plaudit was in better odour than yester-
day for the " Guineas," yet it was evident that,
except for the uncertainty of his starting,
Hermit would have been as good a favou-
rite, as £l5O to £lOO was laid on the latter
against Major Elwon's horse, both to run. Marks-
man was often mentioned, and several times in-
vested on at his price, though at the close half a
point more was obtainable. The feature of the
Derby betting was a commission being out in
favour of Taraban, who was supported to win some
Thousands, as below :

NOTES

TRAINING QUARTERS.

(THIS DAY.)

NEWMARKET.

Our horses are getting very fit for their next
week's Craven engagements, and the heath this
morning was all alive with the various trainers' lots.
Arnull gave Whalebone a steady gallop of a mile
and a half ; and from Charley Blanton's stable
Tormentor and Seringapatam were very active.
Blinkhoolie galloped a mile and a half, but Red
Shoes merely cantered. Lizard had a mile and a
quarter spin. Joseph Dawson sent Othello and
Numa Pompilius along at a rattling pace, and the
latter really ought to land the Newmarket Handi-
cap on Tuesday, though Leases is very forward in
condition, and can race. The latter did a mile and
a half fast this morning. Apsley and Greenback
galloped a similar distance. We did not see either
Claverhouse or Sydmonton out ; but Primrose,
Jasper, Jauua, Plutus, Leap Year, and Scipio
were severally doing plenty of nice exercise.
The Flying Scud had a mile and a quarter rattling
fast gallop; and Bismarck went a mile at three
parts speed. Cecrops and Gretna were galloping
about, and Delium cantered freely. Dr. Syntax
went a mile. The Pieman had a two mile gallop,
going well. Camilla, too, did a mile and a quarter
first-rate. Eau de Vie, Grimston, Nyanza,
The Morning Star, and several other two-year-
olds, engaged for next week, were doing over a mile,
acquitting themselves most creditably. Hippie,
Avron, The Rake, Ravioli, D'Estournel, Moleskin,
Friponier, The Hermit, and Julius were very busy ;
but it is not likely that either The Rake or The
Hermit will be 'tripped next Wednesday for the
Ninth Newmarket Biennial, therefore the represen-
tative of Mr. Saville's interest will have nothing but
Vauban and Taraban to foar, and we under-
stand that stabling has been engaged for both
of them. Mount Palatine has done well
for the Eighth Biennial, but he is sure to be op-
posed by Ischia or Ceylon. Minnie did a mile and
three-quarters clipping this morning, and is very
ripe; she will win the Abingdon Stakes. Eau de Vie,
too, continues well. Lord Glasgow's four-year-old
Strafford's dam colt did a couple of miles in rare
form, and has the Port Stakes entirely at his mercy.
Jollity was at work again, but her action was bad.
The Amanda colt trotted about. Mdlle. Cleopatre
had a mile and three-quarters gallop. Trocadero

and Dragon galloped a mile and a half ; and Knight
of the Garter did similar work. Opoponax went a
mile and a quarter, and Van Amburgh half a mile
or so further than that.

STOCKBRIDGE.

Gomera took Ischia two miles steadily this morn-
ing, and Vauban followed Lord Ronald a similar
distance. Ischia, who has been eased of late, had
a spin with Seville and Lady Rose. Distill still
walked about, and Pantaloon led the two year olds.
Lecturer trotted and cantered about, but the Duke
had a gallop with Bla k Prince for about a mile.
Harpenden and Roll Call did little or nothing.
Uncas and Fairfield went a mile and three quarters.
Caucasus did a mile and a half.
