SPORTING INTELLIGENOA

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

The partial settling which took place at Doncaster on
Thursday last was far from satisfactory. Nevertheless,
hopes were entertained that, notwithstanding some ill.
omened rumours, the general settling to-day would be
carried on with ample means to give it smoothness.
Fresh disappointments were, however, experienced, for
money changed hands slowly, and it was soon evident
that the supply was not adequate to the full demand.
This was attributable in a great measure to a number of
absentees, who, although they have abundant resources
at command, neglected to send in their accounts to be
settled by their agents or " commissioners." Stich
instances of neglect are both vexatious and discreditable.
By some of the " hit and missing" arrangements are
proposed ; all things considered, therefore, there is good
ground to believe that, when the business of settling is
resumed on Monday next, much of the tightness now
complained of will be relieved.
Little attention was paid to coming events. The
principal transactions were in reference to the Cesare.
witch, for which Robgiil was in increased force • 10 to 1
was taken to a good deal of money. Scythian and
Neville were firm—the former at 12 to 1, and the latter
at 15 to 1 ; 600 to 100 taken, abonithe two. Joe Miller
and Veteran had an advancing tendendy.
Nothing else occurred worthy of particular notice.

THE OFFERTORY SERVICE.—Within the last few clap
the Bishop of Rochester has been called on to interfere,
with the view to restore peace among the parishioners of
Hemel Hempstead, Herts, in his lordship's diocese, be-
tween whom and the clergy differences have lately arisen
consequent upon the restoration and use of the offertory
and the prayer for the church militant in the service of
the church there by the present incumbent.
