THE SUBSCRIPTION ROOM AT NIGHT

Although the betting on the St. Leger was very limited,
yet towards midnight some unimportant demonstrations
were made After 7to 3 had been offered on the field, and
8 to 1 bar one, layers became bold, and 2 to. 1 might have
been obtained about Toxophilite, and 9 to 1 was laid several
times against East Langton. This movement, however, was
caused by the sudden rise of Knight .of Kars, who from 20
`to 1 was advanced to 12 to 1, taken freely. - It was reported
that he had just become the property of Lord Clifden, who
had purchased him for £2,000, withhalf of his engagements.
As our list of quotations will show, both Sunbeam and
Eclipse declined several points. The Hadji was inquired
about, and at one time a disposition was evinced to back
him ; but bookmakers were shy and cautious. From 40 to
1 Kelpie rose to 30 to 1, taken.
The prompt publication of the acceptances for the
Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire caused operations on the
handicaps to be resumed with spirit. The prices at the
close of business were as under :
