TATTERSALL>S'-THURSDAY.

A very small number of subscribers attended this
afternoon, and the betting was of the most unim-
portant character.
The Liverpool Steeplechase engaged the largest
share of interest. An atis was supported in good quar-
ters at 10 to 1, 14 to 1 was taken about the Em-
peror, and a point more to £5O about Franc Picard;
16 to 1 each was booked a gainat Cockatoo, Tattler,
and Jealousy to small sums. Old Ben Roe was asked
after, but 20 to 1 was refused. 100 to 3 was offered
against Kilcock, and 100 to 15 laid against Lamp-
lugh's Lot.
The Chester Cup was not touched upon until late
in the afternoon; 100 to 6 was offered against Man-
,at-Arms without a response, but his stable com-
p, anion, Chere Arnie, found admirers at 100 to 8.
North Lancashire and Satellite were backed at 1,000
to 30 each, and left off with an upward tendency ;
400 to 10 was taken once about Herne, and 40 to 1
to a; small sum was laid and afterwards offered
against Wallace.

was st ruck. 7to 1 was freely offered against Dio-

about Kettledrum and Russley, 8 to 1 was offered
age inst Preceptress and 12 to 1 against Klarikoff.
The Derby.—The anxiety manifested to " get
on" the favourite during the afternoon caused layers
to be Farticularly " shy," 4 to 1 being the highest
offer on the field, 9 to 2 would have been taken to
money ; 20 to 1 was offered, " bar one," Dictator
being second favourite. Klarikoff had an unhealthy
appearance, 30 to 1 being freely offered against
him; 40 to 1 each was laid against Kildonan and
