SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

VICTORIA CLUB BETTING.
DAT.
Some heavy speculation took place to-day on the Derby,
the leading feature of the movement being the extraor-
dinary firmness of the two favourites, and the frequent in-
quiries after The Dragon, who, at 11 to 1, found some favour,
but at a point more would have been backed to win several
thousand. Hermit was supported at 9tol, a price
hardly obtainable at the close, while both Julius and
Grand Cross were in healthy demand; and though 20 to
1 was at one time laid against the latter, book-
makers subsequently refused to advance on 16 to
1. The investments on the others quoted below were
not to large amounts, but not the least remarkable move
was in connection with Plaudit, who after 1000 to 30 being
noted down abont hint retired. to 50 to 1, 500 to 10 being
laid three times in a generally well-informed quarter, with
an additional tier to bet 100 that the Richmond horse did
not start.
