SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL7S—YRSTERDAT.
There was a full attendance throughout the afternoon,
and, considering all the untoward circumstances which
have for some time past " troubled" the course of specu•
lation, the settling on the Ascot events was comparatively
smooth and harmless.

At intervals the Northumberland Plate and the Derby
received some attention. For the former Aribbas main•
tained his position as first favourite, and 7 and 6 to 1
were taken about The Early Bird, notwithstanding some
City shots at 100 to 7 against him in the course of the
forenoon. Grapeshot and Kingston were on a par with
him, and a good deal of confidence appeared to be placed
in Baalbec.

The Derby betting is already marked by short prices
—lO to 1 agst Gr:eculus Esuriens, 15 to 1 agst Oulston,
20 to 1 agst the Flatterer, and 25 to 1 each agst Bonnie
Morn and Dirk Hatterick were taken to various sums.
30 to 1 was laid once or twice in ponies agst Bonnie
Morn, but 25 to 1 was the current price at the close.
Dirk Hatterick was backed for about 2001. at the odds
quoted.

SALE OF YEARLINGS FROM THE ROYAL
PADDOCKS.
The undermentioned yearlings from the royal paddocks
at Hampton Court were sold yesterday at Tattersall's,
aid realised prices which showed that the selection of
mares had been most judicious ; and there is no doubt
that if the stud was upon the same scale that was ob-
served in the reign of William IV., it would again be-
come not only profitable, but would tend to preserve to
our own country, the best blood of our thoroughbred
horses.
A few days before the sale a brother to Voltigeur and
a sister to Grapeshot, two of the finest yearlings in the
stock, unfortunately broke their legs, and were de-
stroyed:
The highest priced lots—chesnut colt by Irish Bird-
catcher out of Jamaica, bay filly by Bay Middleton, and
