SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

EPSOM RACES. •
Yesterday was in, every sense of the word en " off
day;" the races possessed very little interest, the fields
were small, the company was thin, and the weather dull
and misty.
The Oaks betting, usually brisk on the day before
running, was flat, the only animals backed with any
spirit being Trousseau and Bird-on-the-Wing; the fa-
vourite was on the decline. With reference to the
Derby, we collect that an easy settling is very generally
anticipated; Mr. Davis, the heaviest loser, is reported to
have been hit to the extent of at least 30,000/. Had
either Barbarian or Chief Baron Nicholson won he
would have " landedarriumwee stake.
