SPO RTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Thanks to Ammonia, there was a very pleasant re-
viver for the fielders in the settlement of the accounts
connected with the recent meeting at Aintree. Much ©f
the depression which previously existed was manifestly
removed. For a long time past loss had followed loss in
almost uninterrupted succession, so surely were the
favourite; in most instances, " spotted" against them.
On coming events only a comparatively small amount
of business was transacted.

Tros, said to have been tried very satisfactorily, was
in great force for the Goodwood Stakes ; at 7 and 6 to
1 a considerable sum of money was invested. Happy
was firm at the odds quoted. Diana under suspicion ;
at one time she receded to 10 to 1, but, after a slight
rally, 9to 1 was taken to 501. The Crusader was re-
markably quiet, considering the very active part he
played in the betting at Liverpool.
ST. LEG-EL—After 4 to 1 had been taken about King
Tom to nearly 1001., 5 to 1 was bettied in fifties. At the
close, however, 400 to 100 was booked.

THE DERBY.—Throughout the afternoon a lively in-
terest was created by the introduction of a new favou-
rite bearing the " taking" title of the Lord of the Isles.
He is by Touchstone, out of Fair Helen, and is training
at William Day's. He is engaged at the Lavant and
Molecomb Stakes, next week, at Goodwood. At the
commencement 40 to 1 was laid, but so warm was the
support he received, that at the close scarcely 25 to 1,
was obtainable. 1,000 to 100 taken in one bet about
Grseculus Esuriens, 1,000 to 50 Cruiser, 1,000 to 25 and
400 to 10 Moonbeam colt, and 1,000 to 15 Rambling
Katie.
The prices at the close were as follow :

THE GENTLEMEN v. THE PLAYERS.

This great annual match was commenced yesterday at
Lord's when something like 2,000 spectators were upon
the ground. At the commencement of the match the
betting in the pavilion was 6 to 4 on the players, but at
the close of the day the odds were stol on them. This
was the state of the score when time was called :

The matoh was resumed this morning,

PUBLIC WORKS.—The Board of Public Works are at
present busily employed. The old mansion adjoining Lord
Harrington's, in Whitehall, is being prepared for the new
Secretary of War. The mansion of the late Duke of
Leeds, in St. James's-square, and lately occupied by Mr.
Lane Fox, has been purchased for the copyhold depart-
ment, the business of which has heretofore been trans-
acted in Whitehall. It is in contemplation to surround
the whole of Greenwich Park with rails.
FURTHER. CLOSING OF PUBLIC-HOUSES ON SUNDAY.

—The " Sale of Beer, Sze., Dill," just brought in by Mr.
Wilson Patten, proposes to provide, under a 51. penalty
for every sale, that public-houses and beer-shops in Eng-
land and Wales shall not be open for the sale of spirits,
wine, or beer (except to bona fide travellers or lodgers
therein) between 2 and .6 o'clock, or after 9, on Sunday,
Christmas-day, Good Friday, or any Fast or Thanks-
giving-day. These houses would then be open only from
1 to 2, and from 6 to 9. Another clause provides that no
person shall open any house or place of public resort for
the sale of fermented or distilled liquors, or sell therein
such liquors on those days, except as refreshment for
travellers ; and any constable may at any time enter into
any house or place of public resort for the sale of spirits,
wine, beer, or other fermented or distilled liquors.
APOTHR CARIES'-HALL.—The following are the names
of the gen tlemen who passed their examination in the
science an d practice of medicine, and received certificates
to practise on Thursday. July 13, 1854 ;—Thomas Webb,
Cheadle, i Staffordshire ; Henry Vale James, Leominster,
Herefords hire; George Pernier Sleigh, Wm. Turnbull,
Lancaster..
STOREY 'Sr GATE.—The public will be glad to learn that
the obstruc;tive pile known by the name of Storey's-gate
at the south end of Birdcage-walk, is in process of
demolition. We are not aware who Storey was, or
why he built the gate, which has been so distin-
guished for every quality which a gate ought not to
have, and has so long and so effectually blocked the
way into S. t. James's-park; perhaps he thought the passage
into a bird cage ought tube small and narrowand difficult,
and if s o it must be confessed he succeeded ad-
mirably. Be this as it may, we cannot but congratulate
our readers on the destruction of their old enemy, who
in a few h ours will cease to exist. The Woods and
Forests wil I do well on this occasion to remember the
adage whicili recommends people not to do things by
halves, and, while they are about it, to pull down the
greater obsqruction, the Skew-gate, at the other end of
the Birdc.aue-walk, which presents all the imperfections
of Storey'o-gate in an exaggerated form.
