STUARTS 2000 TO 1 DOUBLE Betting on doubles in England must be exceptionally heavy. After the decision of tlio Liverpool Grand National it was announced that the prominent bookmaker, Duggie Stuart, laid a Swansea sportsman 00, 00j to 00 about the winning combination of Granely, Lincolnshire handicap, and Music Hall. Odds of 2,000 to 1 about a winning double, especially for such a large amount, should give the successful backer pleasant memories for the remainder of his day3. Granely started at 20 to 1 for the Lincolnshire and Music Hall at 11 to 1 for the Grand National. The London "Sporting Life" statea that it saw the original letter and wire relating to the bet, also Stuarts check for 00 -000 and the lucky backers endorsement thereon. The bookmaker named must do and does an enormous business to be able to lay such a large amount in one hand.
