SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—MONDAY.
Looking at the return of the betting at he,ad-quarterS
given below it would appear that the season of 1862 had
commenced with some spirit, but such is not the case. The
attendance certainly presented a marked improvement,
many of the oldest members putting in an appearance for
the first time, which gave an air of business and character
to the room that was hoped to prove productive of some
extensive speculation; but with the exception of the strong
demonstration that set in, just prior to the closing of the
room, in favour of Sir H. Bulkeley's colt for both of his
engagements, no feature of particular interest presented
itself during the afternoon.
For the Liverpool Steepleehaße The Dane was not in such
demand, 10 to 1 being freely offered at the commencement
of business, but at the close 9 to 1 was the highest offer we
heard against him. Huntsman appeared to have a host of
friends, and was repeatedly backed in well-informed quar-
ters at all sorts of prices, but, as near as we could make out
at thc finish, 13 to 1 would be his quotation. Thomastown,
the representative of the Irish division, was much fancied
and backed for money, and left off evidently with a host of
friends behind him, and who will no doubt see a much
better day. Jealousy, as last year, appears to be the
" Marionette," first up, then down ; but this afternoon,
after` a deal of fencing between the knowing division, we
believe her closing price was 100 to 6. Tippler was backed
for a small amount at 20 to 1, and 25 to 1 was accepted
about Mr. Rowan's Bucophalus.
THE NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES.—For this event the
only animals that came under our notice were Panique and
Wildman. About the former 20 to 1 was laid, and five
points more were accepted about the latter to small amounts.
THE Two THOUSAND GUINEAS.—OId Calabar appeared
all the rage, and towards post time an unmistakable anxiety
was manifested to get on. His opening price was readily
accepted, and at the finish 900 to 300 was accepted in ono
bet. The Marquis, notwithstanding the report indus-
triously circulated of his having betrayed evidence of tem-
per, &c., appeared in much better odour than last week, 9
to 1 being the highest offer we could gather the boldest of
his opponents professed to lay.
THE CHESTER Cur.—Little or nothing appears to be
doing upon this once important race. The afternoon was
principally consumed in asking after certain animals, and it
was not until a late hour we were enabled to compile any-
thing like a satisfactory return. Zodiac, evidently for
money, must bo looked upon as the better favourite; any-
thing over 20 to 1 would have been readily accepted, but
layers were extremely shy, and remained to wait another
day. No other movement of interest connected with
" The Coop" was made manifest, if we except a disposition
to get on the Vest colt, Hadji, Stavros, and Chere Arnie,
the others enumerated in our return being backed for no-
minal amounts.

TILE DERBY.—A strong reaction in favour of Old
Calabar set in during the afternoon. After his opening
price had been secured his friends mustered in some force,
and at last 8 to 1 in hundreds was taken, with a disposition
to go on ; but we imagine the bookmakers, having had but
little but Old Calabar to write in their ledgers, were sur-
feited with him, and declined to go on. This movement
made the Newmarket champion unquestionably the first
favourite, Buckstone's opening price being freely offered
without a reply. Ensign was supported for money at 21 to
1, and Lord Wilton's colt at 26 to 1, the latter having a
host of admirers. Tolurno, Neptunus, Gsmsef
Zet-
land were entrusted for small amounts at 40 to 1 each, and
Vanguard at 50 to 1 for £5O.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT AT DARLINGTON: An mi.-
dent, causing the death of a goods guard on the Stockton
and Darlington Railway, named George Bell, occurred at
Darlington on Friday. From the evidence adduced at the
inquest, held before Mr. W. Trotter, coroner, it appeared
that the deceased had only left home to commence work
about a quartcr of an hour, when being engaged in coupling
additional waggons to the pick-up goods train from Auck-
land to Redcar, he was unfortunately caught between the
buffers, and literally squeezed to death. He was carried a
distance of about 20 yards in that horrible position before
assistance could be rendered him. After being extricated
he breathed twice, and died. A wife and five children are
left unprovided for. The coroner observed that it would
be well if a little of the Hartley sympathy was appropriated
to such eases as these, not that he wished to say anything
against the magnificent contributions that had been raised
for the Hartley sufferers, but this was a case which pro-
portionately deserved public attention and sympathy,
The ‘. gentlermsageic:t
