SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.
The business of paying and receiving on the recent
events at Warwick, Epsom, and Brighton occupied most
of the afternoon. At intervals, however, betting was
resumed, and with some effect.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STARES.—Nabob was in great.
force ; from 8 to 1 he quickly advanced to 5 to I—at In-
tervening prices he was backed for a good deal of money.
Meteora, at'the commencement, took close ground with
him, but in a short time from 7 to 1 taken she receded to
10 to 1. Various sums were invested on Lincoln's‘inu it
11 and 10 to 1; Ireland's Eye, the winner of the last City'
and Suburban, was only lightly touched.
THE Two THOUSAND.-7 to 4 was currently offered
against St. Hubert ' • 350 to 100 and 700 to 200 were Lid
against Lord of the Isles, and 6 to 1 against Bonnie Morn ;
7to 1 was taken to a little money about Polydore, and
40 to 1 was betted against Kingstown.
THE DERBY.—A considerable amount of hedging money
was laid against St. Hubert at 7 to 1 and 13 to 2 ; 2100 to
300 was laid in one bet. Lord of the Isles was in a very
ominous condition; at first 12 to 1 wee taken to a pony,
but layers were soon found to be eager; 13 to 1 to 5001.
was repeatedly offered, but no one stepped in to the rescue ;
at last 1500 to 100 was offered, but he was still friendless.
Dirk Hatteraick was in pretty good demand at 25 to 1,
and Saraband and Rambling Katie were backed for some
money at 1000 to 30 each. 2000 to 25, 5000 to 75, and
1250 to 25, were taken about Corcebus.

EXHIBITION OF ART CONTRIBUTIONS
IN AID OF DISTRESSED RELATIVES
OF OFFICERS IN THE EAST.

The special object of this exhibition is to create a fund
for the orphans and distressed relatives of our °Macre
who have been engaged in the war. For this purpose a
large number of amateur artists have contributed works
executed by themselves to the number of about 1,500, of
which only between 700 or 800 can be suspended, on so-
count of want of room. Contributions are even now
pouring in. The proceeds arising from the exhibition
and sale of the works are to be devoted to the pur•
poses above mentioned. The object is a good one,
and has every prospect of being successful. There is
another object which will be fulfilled by the exhibition,
and which was not, of course, contemplated by the
originators. It will furnish a tolerably accurate test
of the education of the youthful members of the higher
classes in one branch of the fine arts. Viewed in this

light the exhibition is very satisfactory. Many of the
paintings and drawings display not only great taste and
talent, but much artistic skill. Among the contribritors
are the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, Prim
Alfred, the Princess Alice, and the Princess Helena,
The Princess Royal's water-colour drawings, "The
Battle Field," has created a furore amongst the compe-
titors. At the private View on Saturday we remarked
that as much as 100 guineas had been offered for it, and
yesterday the bidding had reached 200. The Prince of
Wales has contributed a pen•and-ink sketch of A
" Knight," for which already 50 guineas have been
offered. All that we need observe upon this harmless
enthusiasm is that we are glad the results of it are in-
tended to be employed for so praiseworthy a purpose.
The Duchess of Gloucester has contributed 16 draw•
ings. The room, situated No. 121, Pall-Mall, was
crowded to excess on Saturday and yesterday. The ii.
tentions of the originators will be fulfilled in a manna
•
to exceed their most sanguine expectations.
