VATTERSALLS'-THURSDAY.

A very small number of subscribers attended this
afternoon, and the betting was of the most unim-
portant char, acter.

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 wus booked against 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 Lat.
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-
panion, Chere Amie, 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.
The Two Thousand Guineas.—Scarcely a blow
was struck. 7to 1 was freely offered against Dio-
phantus, 9 to 1 each was booked to a little money
about Kettledrum and Russley, 8 to 1 was offered
against Preceptress and 12 to 1 against Klarikoff.
The Derby.—The anxiety manifested to " get
on" the favourite during the afternoon caused layers
to be particularly " shy," 4 to 1 being the highest
offer on the field, 9to 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
Overton, and the like odds against Preceptress.
King of Kent was again in demand, 2,000 to 35
being booked about him, 1,000 to 15 was laid against
Aurelian and Walloon, and 1,000 to 10 Cetsaio.
