SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.-•THIS DAT.
A largo muster, and things active, a deal of time being
taken up in comparing over the Derby. The leading
features were the advance of Marksman, who, at 10 to 1
was supported to win some thousands, and finally 8 to 1
was freely accepted. 6 to 4 was at ono time the highest
figure offered against Vauban, about whom 7 to 4 was
easily obtainable at close. Van Amburgh found friends at
his price, but a point less was earlier in the day accepted;
he, however, was in good demand; while the Bake re-
turned to 9 to 1, taken to money, it being generally
believed that he will be amongst. the starters. Beyond
those before mentioned little else was done. The follow-
ing, however, were the current prices. The Oaks came
under notice as below :
