SPORTING iINTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S. -.-MONDAY.

The meetings of the pest week produced one of the
heaviest settlings at Hyde-park Corner this afternoon that
we have seen for many years, and thoording to all accounts
things went smoothly enough money seeming to be easy
and plentiful. it was somewhat lateish in the day before
attention was turned in right earnest to speculation on
future events, when at one and the same time the City and
Suburban and the Derby were brought on the tapia. For
the Handicap Gordan Knot etijoyed the same
popularity he has commanded in the City for
several days, having been backed very freely at
100 to 15. The rush to get ou Veterinarian in the morn-
ing at any price had not by any means exhausted itself ;
moreover it appeared almost as if fresh "commissions "
were " wired" into the subscription room and lawn at short
intervals during the transaction of business, as 9 to 1, 8 to
1, and 7 to 1 were laid, "all of a heap," the latter being the
taking pries at the close. Voliptas receded to 20 to 1
taken and offered ; Stocking also, who had been supported
to some mousy at prices ranging from 20 to 25
to 1, suddenly fell weak, and offers of 30 to 1
did not, bring • blindly voice to the rescue.
A powerful addition was made to the string of favourites,
by the introduction of Brindisi, formerly the property of
Lord Stamford, but bought at his sale by the Duke of St.
Albans. In the course of the afternoon be came to as short
a price as 1(.0 to 8, at which he was freely backed to money,
but later oo backers were lees " food," and offers of 100 to
7 went begging. No one patronised the Mail Train, and
Vivid was sent to the right about at offers of 66 to 1. The
announcement of the scratching of Liston caused no
surprise, inasmuch as it wee fully anticipated days ago.
For the Metropolitan Lord Zealand was firm at 5 to 1, and
twenty "fifties" were accepted about William Day's Joao.
Several heavy investments were made on the Derby. Scot-
tish Chief was backed for 2,000/. at 8 to 1 and 15 to 2, the
latter odds being " wanted " before the room broke up.
Coastguard was also in demand, 14 to 1 having been taken
to upwards of 7001. Forager was so eagerly inquired after
that at one time as little as 15 to 1 was noted, but the last
bet we saw booked about the Sussex crack was sixteen
"hundreds." Birch Broom could scarcely be said to sus-
tain his Saturday's prestige, as he yes somewhat " up and
down" in the market, but be finally left off at 18 to 1
taken to 1001. At first 2.5 to 1 was laid against Blair
Athol, but shortly afterwards an offer of 22 to 1 was
accepted to • "pony." First Flight had • host of friends,
who severally backed him for upwards of 13C)/. at his
quoted price. Several other traneaotions took place, which
will be found below. Closing prices
