AUSTRALIAN BETTING.
Speculation on the Melbourne Cup has commenced on the other side in earnest. Silverton and Singapore are decided favourites at 100 to 6, and the first-named has had a commission executed in his favour in both Sydney and Melbourne, Tradition and Antieus arc next in demand at 100 to 4, Sir Modred's son having been backed to win a lot of money. For the Cauln'eld Cup, Whakawai is the favourite, having been backed for a small amount at 100 to 5, which price is still on offer on the field. Straighb-out books have been opened on the V.R.C. Derby, Dreadnought being the nominal favourite at 4 to 1.
