SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.—LAST EVENING.
Settling on the past week's racing, and the disposal of a
few outstanding accounts on the Houghton Meeting, occu-
pied the attention of members till latish in the day, when
some speculation took place on the Liverpool Autumn Cup,
for wbich Catch-'em Alive was in great force, 7to 2 having
been taken about him to money, but later on 4 to 1 was
laid several times, although at the dote 100 to 30 was the
highest price obtainable. Golden Pledge was slightly under
a cloud, as, although there were frequent offers to lay 5 to
2 on the field, the friends of " The Pledge" did not evince
any anxiety to get on, and at the finish 3 to 1 was offered
without a response. Fairwater was very firm at 6 to 1
(taken), and Blithfield was entrusted with some money at
Bto 1. Earl of Surrey and Balham were each supported at
10 to 1. There was a little spurt on the Derby, but no very
heavy blow was struck, with the exception of 500 to 30 being
laid three times agst Cambuscan. Closing prices :

BETTING AT MANCHESTER.--MONDAY.
For the Liverpool Cup Golden Pledge appeared to have
had a bad night, 4 to 1 being laid and offered ; but the de-
monstration against him was not very general. Catch'em-
Alive was in force, the highest offer at the close being 4
to 1, although his stable companion, Muezzin, was rather
freely supported at 100 to 6. Bto 1 was at one time booked
about Blithfield, but later on rather higher odds were
offered; and Balham was quietly supported down to 100 to
8. Clueing prices :

Two boys were gathering up some gunpowder
which had been spilt in a shop at Ironbridge, on the sth of
November, when it suddenly exploded, and both the boys
were so severely burned that they have since died.

TIIE TEMPLE GARDENS,—On Saturday, through
the liberality of the Benchers, permission was
granted to the gardener (Mr. Broome) to throw the gardens
open. The public, therefore, have an opportunity of wit-
missing the Leautiful exhibition of chrysanthemums in the
above gardens, which have been cultivated there for nearly
20 years. The flowers are not quite so forward as last year,
owing to the existence of dry weather at the time when they
usually begin to grow fast, consequently the development
of bloom has been retarded about a fortnight. Despite all
this, and recent heavy gales, which have done some injury
to the plants, there are some heautitul specimens in lull
bloom, among the most attractive being—Queen of Eng-
land, Golden Queen, General Slade, Antonelli, Alf red
Salter, Progue, Vesta, Arigina, Delight, Etoile Polaire,
Cassandra, Chevalier putnage, Beverley, Christine, Lady
Harding, Rifleman, Jardin des Plantes, Duke, &:'3. Among
the pompones, or lilliputian varieties, are—Ellen Lindsay,
Golden egdo Nulli, lilac ditto, white ditto, Saloumn, Mr,
Actie, La Lilliputian, Adonis, Ranunculi, Aurora Boreale,
Mr, Murray, Argentine, Duruflet, In both the Inner
and Middle Temple gardens (in the latter Mr. Dale is the
gardener) the display of flowers will gratify a visit, and al.
though grown in the centre of the me trepolis, they will bear
comparison with any exhibition of chrysanthemums in any
part of England.
