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 close 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 fi lends 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
Sto 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 G. Bto 1 was at one time booked
about Blithfield, but later on rather higher odds were
offered ; and Baiham was quietly supported down to 100 to
8. Closing prices :

popee:ing the Leautiful exhibition of chrysanthemums in the
'llizbeTraE
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
bloom,
to the plants, there are some beautiful specimens in full
among the most attractive being—Queen of Eng-
land, Golden Queen, General Slade, Antonelli, Alfred
Salter, Prone, Vesta, Arigina, Delight, Etoile Polaire,
Cassandra, Chevalier tiumage, Beverley, Christine, Lady
Harding, Rifleman, Jardin des Plantes, Duke, &c. Among
the pompones, or lilliputian varieties, are—Ellen Lindsay,
Golden Cedo Nulli, lilac ditto, white ditto, Salomcn, Mr.
Actie, La Lilliputian, Adonis, Ranuncula, Aurora
Inner
Boreale,
Mr. Murray. Argentine, Daruflet, &e. In both the .
a the
and Middle Temple gardens (in the latter Mr. Dale l
gardener) the display of flowers will gratify a visit, and al.
i's,
though grown in the centre of the metrepo they will bear
comparison with any exhibition of chrysanthemums
in
any
part of England.
