'TATTEHS ALL'S.' 



The ' dear delight ' of our sporting grandfathers is no 

 longer what it was ; at any rate, it is not to their 

 grandsons what it was to them. Nor does it stand on 

 the same spot as it did when ' Tattersall's ' was the 

 imdoubted centre of the English turf— so far, at all 

 events, as the bettino- finance of racing was con- 

 cerned. 



'I shall meet you at the Corner' used to be a 

 frequent formula for an appointment, and there were 

 hundreds of persons in the betting world who gave no 

 other address. * Will see you at Tatt's,' was all that 

 was vouchsafed by persons who were winning or losing 

 thousands daily at the different race-meetings. Now- 

 adnys settling at the Corner is but a phrase ; for 

 transacting turf business Tattersall's has given place to 

 another institution, the Victoria Club (and similar 

 resorts), at which the greater j^ortion of the betting 

 and settling is accomplished. So that the Corner is 

 the Corner in the old sense no longer. The horse- 

 repository of the period is still in the hands of the 

 family, but is now situated at Knightsbridge, not at 

 Hyde Park Corner.
