SPORTING INTELLIGENOIL

TATERSALL'S—MONDAY,
Beyond paying and receiving on the Goodwood events
—the accounts for the week being, as newt!, very heavy
—only a limited amount of business was transacted.
Although large sums of money changed bands, much
remains to be paid.

Unfavourable reports respecting a few absentees leave
little to be hoped for by their creditors. The conduct
of one in particular was most emphatically condemned ;
for it is well known that he won a large stake at. Asoot,
and also at Liverpool, and that the means of paying are
within his power.`--
In the course of the afternoon the. committee of the
room decided that the race for the Chesterfield Cup at
Goodwood was a p.p. race, and therefore that all bets re-
specting the Queen Mab filly, whose jockey did not take
her to the post in time to start, must be paid.
This decision appears to be-strangely at variance with
the decision in the following ease, whieh is recorded in
the " Book Calendar
For the Stand Cup at Liverpool races, July,
1829, Velocipede was saddlei; mounted, and brought
out, but on being Cantered the rider found him lame and
did not take him to the post to start. •
"A question re.pectine the bets was submitted to the'
stewards of ,the Jockey Club, who decided that the bete
were not to be considered play or pay,' the ease not
coining within the provisions of the following clause of
the rules and orders:— . .
" When the riders of any horses brought out to run
for any race are called upon by the persons appointed to
start them to take their place for that purpose, the owner
of every horse which comes up to the post *hall be con-
sidered liable to pay his whole stake, and all beta re- •
specting such horses shall be considered as play or pay
bets."'
•
Towards the close of the afternoon speculation on
coming events was resumed ; but it was kept within
very narrow limits, as the subjoined list will show :
BRIGHTON STAKES.—Baroncino was in .high favour
from 3to 1 he rapidly rose to 6to 4, taken. Quince and
Mishap received a small share of support at 6 to limb;
and 100 to 15 was taken about Winkfield..
EBOR HANDICAP.—At first 7 to 1 was taken to 501.
about Homily, and 15 to 1 was laid against Midsummer.
At the close, however, 9 to 1 WAS offered against the
former, and 10 to 1 taken to 50/. about the latter.
ST. LEG ER.—The investments on Onlston at 6 to 4
and 11 to S, exceeded 300/. ; 10 to 1 would have been
taken freely about Grmculua Esuriens. Noisy was intro.
duced at 20 to 1.

DERBY.—The principal bets were 10 to 1: to 3001.
abo'it Wentworth ; 6,000 to 150 about -Van Galen, and
the same about Villiers ; and 3,000 to 75 about Coup de
