TATTERSALL'S, Ti URSDAY.

The Derby betting, without being at all heavy, was' at
least as lively as it usually is at this period; the chief out-
lay was on Idas, who was tricked for about £3OO ; about
half that sum was put on Young Eclipse, and a smaller
amount on Pam—the odds in each 22 to 1. Anti-Re-
pealer was hacked at 25 to 1, for £6O or £7O, the taker
willing to goon; Connaught Ranger for £6O, at 40 to 1 ;
Miss \Vh!p colt at £2,000 to £45 ; and two other outsi-
ders for small sums. The odds against Alarm and the
Cobweb colt are nominal.
