TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

The favourites most in favour, yesterday afternoon, were
the Frederica colt, Auckland, the Lord of Holderness, and
Jack. Of this lot the first opened at 7 to 2, taken in hundreds ;
several other bets at that price were succeeded by 1,500 to
500, and 300 to 100 in three or four places, and as 7 to 2 was
offered throughout against Attila (4 to 1 was betted twice) ;
the Stockbridge nag was decidedly established as first
favourite ; the odds against each, as given below, were currently
offered at the close. Auckland had a strong party at 12 to 1,
taken frequently ; his backers would have gone on. The Lord
of Holderness began at 16 to 1, and at one moment had sup-
porters at an improved price, but gave way on the advance of
Jack, who came late in the afternoon, and was backed freely
at 18 to 1. As this see-saw game has been played over and
over again it would be hard to say which of the two will be the
favourite on Thursday, or whether both will not be displaced
by Meteor, who closed at takers of 30 to 1, after 1,000 to 25
and 1,000 to 30 had been laid five or six times. A few other
horses were backed, but not at odds or to amounts to call for
observation. Nothing done on the Oaks.

As the Derby is now close at hand, we think it right to re-
mind those who may have bets on it, that it is requisite to com-
pare books at least two or three days, say Thursday, before the
race; the neglect of this precaution has occasioned numberless
wrangles, and cannot be too strongly reprobated.
Meteor, Ballinkeele (now at Newmarket), and Tiptoe, are
mentioned as likely to run for the R. M. plate to morrow, at
Newmarket.
