SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

The greater portion of the attention of an overcrowded
room was occupied this afternoon in the adjustment of the
balances outs►anding at Chester, which, having been got
through in the most satisfaetory manner, the members then
turned their attention to the events so immediately succeed-
ing at Bath and Epsom. Industry, however, did not on this
occasion meet with its due reward, for we scarcely recollect
so much apathy evinced upon the eve of these two important
meetings for many years, the little that really was transacted
being scarcely worth a return. Tho Bath and Somerset-
shire Stakes was touched upon, but the layers acted with
extreme caution in their investments—not knowing of what
animals the field would be composed, from the favourable
weight of Canary, about whom all sorts of prices were taken
in the City during the morning, notwithstanding J. Day
has two strings to his bow. At the commencement of busi-
ness 2 to 1 was taken freely about the favourite, whose ad-
mirers appeared to be extremely fond to the last, his only
opponent being Fantail, who was strongly fancied in an in-
fluential quarter, and 4 to 1 wuuld have been taken to win
some money. Lord Clifden appeared extremely firm for the
Derby, his opening price being readily consumed by his

than 9 to 2. Macaroai advanced half a point upon his last
quotation in the estimation of his friends, and bids fair to
see a much shorter price ; 10 to 1 was accepted about Lord
Strathmore's colt Saccharometer by well informed per-
sons, and a point over those odds was readily noted
down to win a large stake about Ghillie. In conse-
quence of these demonstrations The Ranger somewhat
receded from his place, 16 to 1 having been offered dur-
ing the afternoon against him, but at the close of tha
room, as near as we could collect, 14 to 1 was the highest
afur
offer made. Tom Fool was inquired after, and,,
