SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TAT T ERS ALL'S-THURSDAY.

- -
Notwithstanding the near approach of the First Spring
Meeting, and the heavy importance attaching to the Two
Thousand, speculation upon the latter grand event is some-
what sluggish. 'Tis true that this very day Breadalbane
was most frequently inquired after both at the Victoria
Club and at Knightsbridge ; but although certain indivi-
duals exhibited a strong desire to obtain the full market
price, as they termed it, the horse was not backed for any
considerable amount of money, layers being evidently
chary about giving backers an opportunity. 100 even was
accepted about Breadalbane being one of the first three,
while 50 to 49 was laid against the two favourites. Vari-
ous flattering rumours were in circulation about Ariel, the
effect of which was to speedily send this promising repre-
sentative of Lord Glasgow's to 100 to 15 (taken).
On the Derby 7 to 1 was accepted to some money about
Breadalbane, and after 1800 to 100 had been booked about
Ariel, 1000 to 60 was noted, the taker of odds wishing to
go on. Will this Chattanooga over disappear from the
betting horizon, or will he not ? Mr. Naylor would do well
to pronounce upon hiS merits, and give him preferment or
repudiate his claims at once and for ever for both the Two
Thousand and Derby. There are still to be found a few
believers in the Criterion running being verified at Epsom,
and one of the number took 1000 to 30 that Mr. Naylor's
beats anything. Closing prices:—
