SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-I`,IoNDAY.

The settling of the previous week's accounts consti-
tuted the chief business of the afternoon. Towards the
close, however, betting was resumed, and numerous in-
vestments were booked.

NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES.—Lamprocles was in
strong demand at 7 to 1 ; and Defiance, passing Red
Lion, assumed a threatening attitude at 10 to 1.
GREAT METROPOLITAN STAKES. A good deal of
money was put on Ariosto at 12 to 1 and 10 to 1 ; 14
and 16 to 1 laid against Jonatlan Martin, the latter
odds still offered at the close ; 1000 to 60 Rataplan, and
1000 to 60 twice agst Haico, against whom 20 to 1 was
afterwards laid to 1001.; Lamprocles was also in favour
for this event ; 1000 to 50 was taken twice.
CHESTER CuP.—Nothing done about the favourite ;
40 to 1 was taken to 1001. about Baalbec, and 40 to 1
to a pony about Umbriel.
THE Two THOUSAND.—Boiardo was restored to the
position of leading favourite. Ruby looked very dull
for both this and the Derby. A small investment was
made on Champagne at 7 to 1.
THE DERBY. —6OO to 100 taken about Autocrat, and
700 to 100 about King Tom ; not, however, with a
marked degree of confidence. 1.800 to 200 and 900 to
100 taken about Dervish ; 1,800 to 100 Wild Hunts-
man ; 1,500 to 50 and 1,000 to 40 Marsyas ; 600 to 20
and 300 to 10 Acrobat; 1,000 to 25 and 875 to 25
Bessus ; and 1.000 to 20 Early Bird.
The some-time-absent Hesse Cassel again loomed in
the future, but three bets of 1,000 to 15 each were not
calculated to revive the faded hopes of his early backers.
