Auckland Tattersall's Club.

The night before the V.R.C. Derby is always one of the greatest betting nights of the year, and there was a large attendance at Tattersall's to .hear the odds called over. Remus was backed for the Cup at 100's to 4 and 5, at which price £450 was taken in one line. 100 to 6 was also taken, and he shortened down to 100 to 10. There was a commission out to back 'Frisco, his price at the start being 100 to 5. At a few hundreds being taken he shortened a point. Oakleigh was greatly fancied, and Silver Prince rather easier, while for the Derby Abercorn strengthened to 6 to 4 on.
