English Betting.-Those of our readers who
pay no attention to the affairs of the English Turf,
have no idea of the extent to which they carry
their speculation on an important race. We
see it stated that the owner of Cotherstone, the
winner of the Derby this year, net.ed $50. 900 by
his betting book. Lord Geo. Ben,ick won $35,
600; but had his own colt Gaper won the race,
his Lordship would have made 100000. This
looks prodgous, but is not at all improbable. asthe
number of nominations in the race exceeded con-
sderably one hundred, and the betting commen-
ced two years before the ruce came of. 1t re-
quires, however, great nerve and promptitude. and
singular readiness at combination to SNAKE a
book proftably.
