TATTERSALL'S.--THimsDAy.

Owing to the meeting at Nottingham, the room was very
thinly attended, and only a limited amount of business was
transacted. On two or three horses, however, the investments
were to some money.—Goodwood Stakes: Hobby Horse was
backed at 4 to 1 and to 9 to 2 for upwards of .200; 7 to 1 to
.e 75 was taken about Joe Miller ; and at 10 to 1 and 9 to 1
about -150 were laid out in favour of Vindex ; 12 to 1 would
have been taken about Trifle—odds which were repeatedly
offered against Haricot. Goorkah had a couple of friends pre-
sent, and at 25 to 1 their joint venture amounted to t6O.
Muscovite was quite in the shade.—The Derby : At the com-
mencement 13 to 1 was laid to .e 223 against Autocrat; at the
close 12 to 1 was taken to nearly the same sum ; 2,000 to 100
and 2,250 to 123 were taken about Dervish; 1,000 to 30 offered
against Andover, and 1,000 to 30 against Reel colt.
