SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA TTERSA S—ViesmnDir.

The room was crowded to excess till half-past six o'clock,
and the betting, without being heavy, underwent repeated
changes. At one time Bay Middleton was backed freely at
7to 4, but at the 'close these odds were offered. In the early
part of the afternoon 10 to 1 was taken about Gladiator, four
points less than were betted at the finish. The Athenian also
opened in greater forco than he left off, the first price being
12 to 1, and the last 18 to 1: The Drummer, a horse in John
Day's stable, came into the market at 50 to 1, and was after-
wards backed at 33 to 1 with some spirit; 20 to 1 was taken
about the lot (3,000 to 20 was betted on Saturday). Alfred
was in some favour at 30 to 1, but neither Tipple Cider, Em-
meliana colt, Master of the Rolls, nor Mendizabal were in any
demand. It is still the prevailing opinion that about twenty-
two will run. A material change is also observable in the
Oaks, Cyprian having passed Fair Jane and Vesper, and settled
down as first favourite. In other respects the mares occupy
the same relative positions as when we last quoted the odds,
