MONDAY.  Settling upon the peat week's accounts at Damara and Warwick occupied the attention of the members present until quite a late period of the afternoon. 5p801166011 upon coming events wu tame and unimportant to a degree, and considering that it was just on the eve of the Northampton meeting, the betting on the events to be decided there was remarkably dull. It was not until quite late that any demonstration was made, but towards the break up three or four moves wars made upon the Northamptonshire! which infused a little vitality into the proceedings. Kmitsford was surprisingly firm, and having been heavily supported in the City during the morning at 100 to 30, no more than 3to 1 could be obtained about him on assembling at Hyde-park-comer. At first no more than 5 tel 1 was offered against Orinuton, but he was by no means so healthy as his friends could have wished, and finally the odds were laid against him to several hundred pounds at 7 and 8 to 1, the last-mentioned price being accepted up to the close, the layers still offering to go on. The decided features of the afternoon's transactions were the advance of brother to Springbok and Fairwater. Concerning the first-mentioned, some comrnissioos ware out early in the morning, and he was supported so freely at the Corsa thatat the close no more than 9 to 1 could be obtained about him. Fairwater wu also one that was early inquired after, and such wu the evident anxiety to invest in her favour, that lessening prior were invested until she reached 12 to lat the close. Man-at-Arms was under a cloud, and divers rumours were afloat about him, an offer being made to bet 501. even that he did not go to the post. Nobody, however, ventured to take a liberty with him, until just before the break-up of the room, when the murder was let out. After a little by-play he was put up, and a few 100's to 6 having been offered, one operator 27:1fire in earnest, and laid 100 to 2, and even 1, which odds were snapped up by those who wished if possible to arrest his downward tendency. Ultimately he rallied a little, but his case nevertheless seemed hopeless, as 25 to 1 was offered in vain to the end of the chapter. Several were backed for the Spencer Plate. Lord Stamford's filly, Flying Fish, had come a " hot 'tin " in the City during the morning, where as little as 4 to 1 was accepted about her, and at the Corner she was supported with renewed vigour at 100 to 30, and even 3 to 1 was taken in certain retinae. Biondella, Argonaut, and Heat were next in demand at their quoted figures, and received fair support, and to very good money. Lady Clifden was backed with great spirit at 20 to 1, and finally 100 to 6 mu the highest offer against the top-weight. For the Two Thousand 5 to 2 was the highest offer against Hospodar, who would have been supported at 3to 1, but layers seemed disinclined to spring half a point. fisocharometer was backed for 1801. at sto 1, but the same odds were offered up to the dose. The Derby betting presented no fresh features. 6to 1 was the currant price of the favourite, and there was an evidently growing disposition is favour of Hospodar, about whom 1,200 to 100 WM booked once. National Guard and Automaton were backed at 25 tel 1 each, sad although 28 to 1 was laid ones or twice about Watson's horse, the quotation given below represents his trite price. Closing pram :
