SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

I TATTERS'-Itrr APRIL I.
The subscription room was again well and most respectably at.
tended ; indeed, such we expect to be the case every betting day fit
some time to come, in consequence of the near approach of the
Craven Meeting, at Newwarket, when the Riddlerarorth, being
the tint great stakes of the present year, takes place ; sad quickly
after which, the event of the Derby and Oaks at Epsom. It will
be recollected that on the result of the Riddlesworth considerable
interest must be excited, as many of the Derby and Oaks horses
come out in it; consequently the event of this race will, in all pro.
bability, totally derange the books of sporting men, and oblige
them to break fresh ground. There was a great deal of business
done on the Riddlesworth and Derby particularly ; on which stakes
ray material alterations have taken place since our report of Mon-
day last, as will be seen by the following particulars :
