TATTERSALLS'-YESTERDAY.

The room presented an unusually quiet aspect for a
" settling day," and subscribers dropped in rather slowly.
Still there was a total absence of complaint, and the general
opinion appears to be that the St. Leger settling will be
comparatively harmless.
" The gentlemen" are mostly losers by the defeat of Pro-
mised Land and Summerside, whilst on the other hand, the
majority of book-makers gain very little by the overthrow
of the favourite. "Very many of them did not escape laying
against the winner, and although he was not backed for any
great amount, still he was always at a long price in the
betting.

Towards the close of the afternoon speculation was re-
sumed on the Newmarket events and the Derby. For the
Cesarewitch Stakes, Royal Sovereign, who had been backed
in the City during the morning at 100 to 6, advanced to 15
to 1, whilst Polestar, who shone forth last week at Don-
caster as first favourite, receded to 20 to 1. There was very
little betting on the Cambridgeshire, but Volta was in some
demand.

Many inquiries were made respecting Umpire for the
Derby, and some conversation took place as t? his qualifica-
tion for this race, as a rumour has been lately afloat that he
was entered without being properly described. In order
to set the matter at rest, we deem it expedient to extract
the following official announcement from the Racing Calen-
dar,:—

" Doubts having beea expressed as to the qualification of
Umpire for the Derby, in 1860, in consequence of his being
entered for that race by his name only, we beg to state that
'faith nomination is quite sufficient, the horse having been
entered at the same time for the Newmarket Biennial
Stakes, 1860-61, with a full pedigree.—See Rule 13, con.
cerning horse-racing in general."

Rule 13, hereby referred to, is as under :
" If a horse has once been entered with his name and
padigree in a race published in the Racing Calendar, it
will be sufficient afterwards to mention him by his name
only, even though he has never started ; and in entering
a horse for the first time by his name in several races clos-
ing at the same time, it will be sufficient to give his pedi-
gree in one of those nominations, and his name enly in the
others."

The highest offer against Umpire was 7 to 1, but a point
more was wanted ; 10 to 1 was taken about Buccaneer, and
Thormanby was supported at 100 to 6 and 16 to 1. At the
price indicated below, High Treason was backed for £2OO.
