SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S.-MONDAY.

The interior of the subscription-room was the scene of
considerable bustle and moving to and fro, but the amount
of business transacted was by no means up to what might
have been expected from such a numerous attendance.
Still there were several stiffiish investments, especially for
the Derby; but betting on the great handicaps was any-
thing but animated. Bantam, who had been for some days
threatening to depose the reigning favourite, Emblem, for
the Liverpool Grand National, did so this afternoon most
decisively, 11 to 1 being taken about "The Bant," while
Lord Coventry's mare receded to 100 to 6 taken. Wee Nell
also declined a point or two, 14 to 1 being offered, although
we were told that, at the commencement of business, 13
to was booked about her. The Chester Cup was again
mysterious ; at one period of the afternoon Change had
decidedly the call, as little as 20 to 1 having been
taken kindly, but soon afterwards Blackdown " came"
again, and 20 to 1 was accepted to some money, although
at the finish those odds ware obtainable. 1,000 to 45 was
taken about Change in one bet; and Accident, Anfield, and
Golden Pledge were each supported at 25 to 1. Thirty
" centuries" were entrusted to Carisbrook, notwithstanding
the declaration of his owner that the horse will be announced
in the next sheet calendar to be sold, with his engagements.
For the Derby 10 to 1 was offered on the field. Coast Guard
was somewhat steadier than last week, 15 to 1 being taken,
and the same about Cambuscan. A somewhat daring spe-
culator offered 25 to 1 against Forager, which was at once
snatched up; layers then became chary, and after several
investments were made at 20 to 1, backers were contented
to take two points less, and in one instance which came
under our notice 300 to 18 was booked. 23 to 1 was offered
agst Historian, and Blair Athol would seem to have fairly
discovered that there is a screw loose somewhere, as 25 to
1 did not bring many friends to the rescue. Of the long
list of "outsiders" Strafford was supported for most money,
1,000 to 15 having been taken fifteen times about him.
