VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.—Tnis DAY.

The further advance of Shakespeare for the Grand Na-
tional was the feature to-day, 10 to 1 being greedily taken
and ultimately wanted about the Newmarket horse. Der-
mot Asthore was also in request, the pair alone being
backed ;for any amoant of money. Clarice was inquired
after for the City and Suburban, and her victory yesterday
would have caused a tacker to accept 20 to 1 to win some
hundreds, had the latter price (which was taken about
Wild Agnes), been obtainable. Plaudit was firm for " the
Guineas," while Hermit was unmistakeably " fishy," even
money being freely :offered against his running,
though in the same quarter 1000 to 60 would have been
taken about him for the-Epsom event. The Rake and
•n'Estournel, coupled, were supported for a "monkey ; 20
fifties were recorded about Dalby for the Chester Cup,
after which 100 to 6 was the highest price obainable.

NOTES

FROM

TRAINING QUARTERS.

NEWMARKET.

Tho Rake is certainly improving, for the stiffness is
gradually wearing off, and he is doing a bit faster work.
He exercises alone. D'Estoutnel gallops a mile and a
quarter with Leyburn ; and Julius is fast getting ready
for the Two Thousand. Dragonbas an improved appear-
ance, and is galloping over a mile in splendid form. Hippia
is being led now by o ld Lothario, and she spills along
beautiful, and Moleskin follows Sealskin in rare form, too.
Dot takes Star of India up the Bury Hill clipping. Etni-
grant is preparing Chippenhant for Northampton ; and
both Miss liarriette and Othello aro being got ready for
early engagements. Tormentor is now galloping a mile
and a half at au excellent pace. Shakespeare will take all
tho beating that can bo given him for the Liverpool Grand
National, for he is in brilliant form, anti jumps fences quite
as cleverly as lie does hurdles.

RICHMOND. .
_
Plaudit continues to do e' cellent work 'alternately* with

Lozenge andllob Chambers. He is always in Snowden's
hands, and his exercise each day consists of three canters,
and then a good gallop of over a mile and a quarter. His
temper is a generous one,•and his stride most commanding.
Strathconan will soon relieve Lozenge in leading the crack.
Newland is now settling down carefully to his Chester
preparations, galloping a mile and a half, after a couple of
ranters, finishing each day: with long walking. He looks
beautiful. Bose is merely trotting at present. but Violet
and Bumble Kite are rattling along in race form; and the
same may be noted of Moldavia, The Begun►, and Empress
of India. B!airgowrie and El Cid take plenty of cantos.
