SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—THURSDAY.
The only effect of the running at Newcastle was tO
raise Eryx to 9 to 1 for the Goodwood Cup, and to make
Van Tromp a shade better for the St. Leger than he via!
on Monday. Burgundy was in force for the Goodwood,
Stakes, and Stultz, although not backed for any money'
rose five points ; on the other hand, an outlay of about
2001. on Martext did not in the slightest degree impruire
his position. The backers of The Questionable, for that
event, were disagreeably surprised by the following
qualified announcement :—" The owner of The QueP
turnable, seeing that horse a great favourite for the
Goodwood Stakes, thinks it right to make known that
the horse has been very ill since Epsom Races, and that
it is uncertain if he will go to Goodwood." pity. the
owner did not " think it right" to communicate this
formation a little earlier. Closing prices:—

A WILLING WlFE.—Yesterday, a fisherman Wail
summoned at the Police•court, charged with being
drunk. His wife, who appeared for him, said that whea
he was sober he was one of the quietest men in the

know what he was doing. He was fined ss. and cos!s;
when his wife, loving soul, said, " You must take me lo
it, for he's gone out fishing."—Liverpout Courier.
