SPORTING INTELLIGENCE,

TAT TERSALLS'—LAST EVENING.
Noting shows the great change that has come over the
spirit of speculation more than the aspect of Tattersall's on
a Monday aJternoon. For the last five or six weeks we
have had but to repeat the almost stereotyped phrase,
" very little busizess done." The room is generally well
attended, but nearly the whole of the time is taken up with
the settling. Men bet as heavily as they ever did, proba-
bly more so, but it is in a different fashion. The large
sums of money which now change hands at Knightsbridge
represent fox the most part transactions at the post. Book-
making on future events seems rapidly becoming a lost
occupation. Time was when the Goodwood Stakes was
one of the greatest betting races of the year, and at this
period speculation in full swing. Now the utmost apathy
prevails about that and the Cup, and the few quotations
below are in marked contrast to the long list of prices of
three or four years since.

Claremont was in great favour among the few backers
present; 9 to 2 was all that could be obtained about him,
andin some instances,wo believe, hardly that. Lady Hylda
did not appear to go quite so well, and Sister to the Drake
andScheldt were the only horses that could be called at all
in demand.

For the Cup, Eltham had tho call over Gladiateur. The
mare we did not hear mentioned.

There were a few transactions on the Derby, which will
speak for themselves.

MONDAY.

The morning opened wet and stormy, but as the day
wore on the heavy clouds dispersed, and a fine afternoon
succeeded, thereby inducing a numerous company to

the fields were not large the sport was good, and came off
as follows :

ran head and head to the distance, where Poetess was

DR. PRITCHARD.

-.
The anticipated arrival of Dr. Pritchard in Glasgow, by
an early train from Edinburgh, caused a crowd of people,
anxious to get a look at the notorious convict, to assemble
waiting on the train at the Edinburgh and Glasgow sta-
tion, but they were • disappointed, as the doctor had been
taken out at Cowlairs. Governor Stirling having arranged
for his reception, left Edinburgh by early express on Satur-
day morning, and, lest his own widely-known visage
should attract attention, sent the prison clerk to Cowlairs
station in a plain carriage to wait on the arrival of the
prisoner. Mr. Ferguson, with his charge fast bound to the
officers on each side, duly appeared about 11.30, and getting
into the carriage almost unobserved, drove rapidly away
to Duke-street prison, where he was handed over to Gover-
nor Stirling, in the presence of Sheriff Strathern and the
assistant-surgeon of the prison. After being stripped of
his clothes and dad in prison garb he was removed to the
condemned cell. Five warders have been detailed to
guard him, two being present with him during the day,
and relieved by other two at night, while the third at-
tends in the corridor without. Tho cell for the condemned
is simply two of the common cells put into one, and fitted
up for the reception of the convict and two warders. Dr.
Pritchard's extensive acquaintance with subtle poisons
being known and dreaded by those whose duty it is to
keep the unhappy man alive till the laws he outraged
avenge themselves, he will be watched with more than the
usual care. Careful guard has all along been kept on him
in this respect. During the course of the trial in Edin-
burgh, every night when he left the court his clothes were
taken off and carefully examined, and a prison suit handed
to him after he had undergone a bath, and had his beard
and finger nails carefully cleaned, lest some potent poison
in minute form might be concealed about him. No one
will now be permitted to see him, unless on special permit
from the Prison Board, and the interview will take place
in the presence of Governor Stirling.
The demeanour of the unhappy man is a striking
contrast to what it was before he left the prison for
Edinburgh. Then he either assumed or naturally carried
himself in a jaunty, confident way, never for a moment
expressing himself as otherwise than sure of being freed
after trial. Now his over-confidence has given way to
prostration of both mind and body. On Saturday, as he
descended in the court-yard of the prison from the carriage
his weak and tottering gait showed that he required assis-
tance, and he was accordingly helped by two of the warders
to a room, where stimulants were admininstered to him.
On Sunday he continued during the whole day lying is a
sort of stupor, speaking not to those around him, and
apparently absorbed in the greatness of his own misery.
The excitement which the trial in Edinburgh gave rise
to did not terminate with the verdict and tho sentence ; for
on Friday evening about ten o'clock a report was current
that Pritchard had succeeded in poisoning himself. Many
and absurd were the surmises as to how he had obtained
possession of the poison. Such a hold did the report take
of the public mind that messengers were despatched to the
various newspaper offices from the hotels to ascertain
whether there was any truth in it. The usual'sources of
information were, however, equally in the dark, as it was
only at a somewhat late hour that they learned that there
was no truth whatever in the report.—North British Daily
Mail.
