SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY.
Several persons who were expected to be prepared to-
day to settle their overstanding accounts on the Cesare-
witch, ex., were still absent, and not a few severe
remarks were elicited in consequence. The pecuniary
tightness which is extensively experienced will account
for the dulness which marked the slow progress of specu-
lation on coming events.

The principal movements with regard to the Cam-
bridgeshire were the rise of Seahorse—the decline of
Balrownie, and the introduction of Hervine, said to have
returned from France in prime racing condition. Sea-
horse reached 12 to 1, and had an advancing tendency
at the close. Balrownie fell at one time to 25 to 1, but
two or three parties stepped in to the rescue, and brought
him back to 20 to L He was evidently, however, under
much suspicion. Hervine was backed at 50 to 1, and is
likely to have many friends.
THE DERBY.—The two leading favourites maintained
their positions ; 15 to 1 was offered against Dervish-
-1,000 to 60 wanted. The Knight of St. George, who
has recently achieved some success in Ireland, was in so
much force that after some hundreds had been invested
at 1,000 to 20 and 1,000 to 25, 5,000 to 150 was taken !
Scythian' Marsyas, and Acrobat, were backed at 1,000
to 30 each ; 1,000 to 20 taken about Middlesex—odds
which were offered against Hesse Cassel. Closing prices :

CURRAGH OCTOBER MEETING—WEDNESDAY.
The weather this day was most unfavourable, the rain
descending in torrents, without intermission, from an
early hour, which left the course in very bad order, and
the racing of only an average character. The interior
of the stand-house was crowded during the day by gen-
tlemen who were taking shelter from the pelting of the
pitiless storm ; there were roaring fires in every apart-
ment provided by the proprietor of the refreshment
saloon, Mr. Clancy.
