TATTERSALL'S, MONDAY.

Until four-o'clock the room wa's but thinly attended, and
betting flat, its only novelty being the re-appearance of Lord
Jersey's non-favourite, Glenorchy, who was backed in four
or five quarters at 30 to 1, in tens and points. After this
hour there was a strong influx of subscribers, and business
became unusually animated. It did not close until half-past
six. The difference between the two principal favourites at
the close was very trifling; 14 to 1 having been offered cur-
rently against Theon during the whole of the afternoon, 16
to 1 taken about Angelica colt, and 1000 even laid betwixt
them. We should not have been surprised had 15 to 1 been
offered on the field, to have seen Angelica colt taken in pre-
ference to the north country nag ; 7 to 1 about the two would
have been accepted. Bokhara was backed early in the after-
noon at 17 to 1, and we are informed that 2,000 to 120 was
also. taken ;- this bet, however, we are unable to trace.
Launcelot opened at 18 to 1 (t), and at this price he con-
tinued until a considerable number of the subscribers had
left, after which two points more were laid :three or four
times. Confederate's party, not quite " convinced," in..
creased their investment to a considerable extent. at 18 to 1,
at which quotation he commenced and finished ; we believe
these odds might have been obtained at the close. Muley
Ishmael was backed for a small sum at 20 to 1 ; and, from
the number of inquiries made we expect to see him " go-a-
'•head" ere long. Gambia, after a short reign, abdicated-25
to 1 was betted at the beginning, and five points more at the
end; there was a woeful falling off in the number and.fond-
ness of his partisans. Ottoman, as might have been antici-
pated from the termination of the betting on Thursday last,
" came again" in great force ; 25 to 1 was taken to a large
amount, and when we left it was a question if any one would
have laid so much against him by a couple of points. There
was no other change in this race beyond the decline of
Assassin to his old position, nor was anything [done on the
Oaks worth dwelling on.
