SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY

Throughout the afternoon, room, terrace, and yard
were thronged with speculators, but although a very
large amount of money changed bands on the Goodwood
account, the settling was manifestly slow. Many
balances stand over, but a belief exists that the greater
portion of them will be liquidated at the approaching
gathering at Brighton. .

Business on coming events was very limited, se the
subjoined scanty list of quotations will testify.

THE MARTLEBONE CLUB ♦ND GROUND AGA/Nll7
ENGLAND.—Again this distinguished club, with the as-
sistance et its professionals, ventured to contend against
the strong " team" which England can now produoe,
and commenced the match yesterday at Lords. The,
weather was very unpropitious, heavy showers at inter-
vals stopping the play. The innings of John Lillywhite
was the finest one played upon this ground during the
season, and frequently elicited loud applause from the
numerous spectators present. The match as it is ota,ds
even, and will be resumed this morning. The following
is the result of the day's play :—England, let innings,
113 ; Marylebone Club and Ground, Ist image, 90.

GREENWICH REGATTA.--Several thousands of persons
_
assembled yesterday at Greenwich, to witness the annual
regatta, under the patronage of Earl Fitzarlnge, and
d
the nobility and gentry of the borough. The contest
was in 5 heats, with 6 scullers, and the distance the
whole river front of the town—twice round. The first
heat was won by Edgar Smith (Red) ; the second by

o'clock, in harmony with the general desire for an early
termination of business on that day, it is satisfactory to
state that the allegation to the effect that a great differ-
ence of opinion upon the subject exisisamon the
under-
writers is positively denied. The memorial to the com-
mittee for a meeting on the proposal was signed, it is
said, by nearly 200 of the leading members, while sub-
sequently, on a show of hands, the motion in &your of
early closing was carried by 64 to 4.

BRIGHTON RACES.
The entries for the Stakes which " closed" last night
were numerically insignificant, and, indeed a strong
pirpbabilify:eiists.. that the fields in the majority
of instances, be soinewhat_smalh: . This circumstance is
, calculated to excite no—little—surprise when the liberal
amount of "Added money" which is distributed' among
the various stakes 4s- taken -into- consideration. In-
ducements to owners to send their horses to Brighton are
certainly not wanting. .ill shortcomings in the supply of
sport must therefore be attributed to the fact of many
animals having been "knocked out of tiele" at the recent
gathering at Goodwood. . • •
The pr.gmumefar..the two days comprises thirteen
items. I shall confine my remarks, however, to the
p;rincipil events only. The investmentson the
Brighton ' Stakes have been limited to Orestes,
Pantomime, Poodle; Coek Pheasant, and the Jenna!a.
filly, 'but no 'decided demonstration has been made
in fivOur of any One of these animals. Although
Orestes will be somewhat "out of his distance,"
Yet the, animals be will encounter belong to an inferior
class, and he will doubtless, therefore, be capable of
,
getting home" among the leading horses. Pantomime
is unquestionably " well in," but the "form" in which
lie has exhibited this season was not so good as that
Which he displayed towards the end of last year. lam
informed, however, that he is now in capital condition.
Doubts seem to exist as to the starting of Cock Phea-.
sant—indeed, Liell's Life announces that Dockery, his .
tiainer, ".will haVe nothing at Brighton." Should he,
h.'owever, go to the pest he will be entitled to considera-
tion, I entertain no great expectations of the success of
either Poodle or the Jennnala, filly. Could calculate .
~vith certainty on a start, I should unhesitatingly select
Ore,te-, Panticalitne, and Cock Pheasant against the
field.
