SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERS ALLS'--YEsTERDAT.

Considering the proximity of the great national race at
Epsom, the attendance the Corner this afternoon was
not up to the average fo at
r the week before the Derby, and
the amount of business was correspondingly limited;
nevertheless, some movements—commenced in the City,
and followed at Hyde Park—were imbued with special in-
terest. The events of the Bath and Somerset meeting oc-
cupied some attention, and, although we can make no
quotation upon the minor races, we may take this oppor-
tunity to mention that evens were betted on The Knave
for his engagement in the Tenth Biennial, and in the
Eleventh Biennial 7 to 4 was taken about .Etna and 2 to 1
about Escape. For the Somersetshire Stakes Dusk was in
force both in the City and at the Corner, 5 to 2 being taken
freely about him up to the termination of business; 6 to 1
was accepted " kindly " about West End, and Attaman,
who was reported to have beaten Amy and Optimist in a
trial, was freely supported at 7 to 1, a commission in his
favour having been sent into the market early in the
morning. Those next in request were Draghound and
Costa, about whom respectively 8 and 10 to 1 were booked.
For the Derby The Marquis held his position with much
firmness, the form shown at York by his stable companions,
Clop. rl7aunly and the, Wizard. having evidently given his
friends fresh courage-100 to 30 was the highest offer
against him at the close. Buckatone was again strongly
supported this afternoon, 5 to 1 being very freely taken
during Use course of business. Zetland was also in strong
demand, and after the utmost industry and avidity had
been exhibited during the morning in securing all the 12's
to 1 obtainable, the demonstration was renewed at the
Corner, and finally 11 to 1 could not be procured without
much perseverance, a point less being booked in some few
instances; 100 to 8 was taken occasionally about the Stock-
well colt. The movement connected with Caterer created
some commotion, the current rumour being that he had
" hit his leg" while at exercise, and in City circles he was
temporarily driven to 40 to 1; but, ultimately recovering
the first shock of that hostility, he came back, point by
point, and left off at 100 to 7 (taken.) Ensign, who has
been up and down in the market as often as an angler's
" float" in roach fishing, was again backed to-day at 20 to
1, at which odds Neptunus was quiet. Some talk was
once more made of Sir Joseph Hawley's lot, Duke Rollo,
St. Alexis, and Argonaut, the trio being supported at the
respective prices quoted below. Norroy, Baron Roths-
child's presumed " coming outsider," made a retrograde
movement this afternoon, and was unsupported at offers at
50 to 1. Spite was completely knocked out; it was no
secret that The Roe had galloped away from him in a trial
this morning, and those entrusted with the office of " get-
ting out" had orders evidently to lay as much as they pos-
sibly could. Spite's case may, therefore, be set down as
hopeless. An offer was made during the afternoon that
the field beat 20.
The Bath meeting so often involves the fate of the favou-
rites that some anxiety is felt among backers of horses to
discover how the most prominent will come out of that
ordeal. Closing prices :
