BETTING AT TATTERSALL'S, AUGUST 11.
Tattersall's to-day was very respectably attended, and the
principal betting was upon two or three outside Leger bores.
, It.will be seen that the favourites stand nearly as in our last,
with the exception of Claude Lorraine, who has made a rapid
advance ppwards. There was hut little or no betting on the
Derby or Oaks Stakes, which stand at the odds of last week:
