SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.—YEsTxRDAY.
The subjoinhd quotations are, with only two excep-
tions, made up from small investments; the exceptions
were Lugar and the Flying Dutchman—the former being
backed for the Metropolitan Handicap, at 13 to 2, and the
latter at 4 to 1, the takers in both instances being
anxious to increase their outlay. The Chester Cup
prices indicate an improvement in Peep-o'Day-Boy and
Halo, and a decline in Blucher. No odds were quoted
against Lady Wildair, but the disposition to lay against
her was unmistakeable. Honeycomb's decline will not
escape observation; it is whispered that he makes more
noise than his bnckers would like to hear. We give the
