SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.-LAST EVENING.

Settling on the past week's racing, and the disposal of
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 which Catch .'em Alive was in great force, 7 to 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
2on 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 :

had a bad night, 4 to 1 being laid and offered ; but the de-
monstration against him was not very general. Catchient-
Alive was in force, the highest oiler 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. Closing prices !
