SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA.TTERSALL'S.—MONDAY.
The room was thronged throughout the afternoon, and
considerable progress was made in the general settle-
ment of the accounts connected with the recent events
at Newmarket. Except in two or three instances the
supply of money was evidently fully equal to the de-
mand.

The only important case of default was on the part of
a Mr. S —, who had betted heavily against the winner
of the Cesarewitch, and whose account is said to be in a
hopeless condition.
At intervals speculation was resumed, but backers of
horses were scarce ; the transactions were consequently

After 6 to 5 had been taken for some money against
Mr. Sykes for the Great War Nick Handicap he advanced
to evens ; but. towards the close the force with which
Polestar was brought into the market caused a slight
re-action-5 to 4 was currently offered on the field. The
outlay on Polestar, at 5 to 1 and 9 to 2, exceeded 6001.
Poodle was hacked in small sums at 4 to 1 and 10 to 3.
The principal movements with regard to the Cam-
bridgeshire were the advancing tendency of Calamus, the
upoort of which was given to Veteran and Flatterer,
and the disposition which was manifested to back Elvas-
ton. Calamus and Veteran, although one concern, had
opposing parties, and each was backed for a good deal
of money. Further comment is unnecessary.

AQUATICS.

ROWING MATCHES.

The below-bridge admirers of a aquatics were yester-
day emertained with no less than three rowing matches
of a varied character, over the same course. Each was
numerously attended, and created a great deal of excite-
ment.

M.
ChTa hmeb fie
rras tanmdatjc. Newton, was
h p aainfr raP.d
Arnadceersboent waenedn
Hetton. The former were from Newcastle-on-Tyne,
a
and the latter from Ostend. The event was for 50/.
a-side, and the distance from the Old Barge House,
Woolwich, to Limehouse Hole, with tide. It was a very
fine start, the Newcastle men taking a slight lead, which
they were, however, unable to retain. Anderson and
Helton Carrie up with them in a few strokes, and a most
determined and gallant race succeeded, in which they
were oar and oar for some time, when the Ostend men
drew in front, and were two lengths ahead at Blackwall,
but there the Newcastle men put on a fine spurt and
again they became level ; Chambers and Newton then
gradually drew away, and subsequently won by half a
dozen lengths.
Tae second match was between C. Childers and J.
Bristow, for 401. over the same course. They started
evenly at a quarter to three, and continued together for
some distance, when Childers took the lead, and main-
tained it, winning easily towards the finish.
Campion and Wade next made their appearance, and
and was accompanied by a steamer ,
crowded
rowed over the same course for 40/. This was a very
reporting
d ewith a
d rilatcbn'xious spectators. They were off at three
o'clock,
Campion with a Blight lead, which he held for
some • distance, closely pressed by his opponent. In the
heat of the race Campion unshipped one of his sculls,
o
owing to the rough water, and in a moment Wade was
his • •
by him,
and never forfeited position. Campion rowed
desperately, but could not overhaul him, and Wade won
by 300 yards.
