SPORTING IN TLLLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.— YESTERDAY.
THE CHESTER CUP.
An expectation that, in observance of the conditions of the
race, the Handicap would be made public this afternoon, led
to a numerous attendance, and it was very evident that had
it made its appearance, a good deal of business would have
been transacted. To the surprise and disappointment of the
subscribers, the weights were not declared, and the accounts
of the investments, although heavier than on any
previous occasion, fell short of our anticipations.
It will be seen that several horses found favour ;
but the only " pot " was Antler, who was in the first
instance backed at 5,000 to 110, and subsequently at 40 to I,
in three or four quarters. The following bets were also
taken :-5,000 to 100 agst Mr. Whaley's burgundy, 400 to
10 agst Mr. Griffith's Newcourt, 1,000 to 15 and 1,000 to 20
agst Mr. W. H Johnstone's Milden, 2,500 to 50 agst Mr.
Irwin's Mickey Free, 2,000 to 30 agst Lord Chesterfield's
Lady Wildair, 1,000 to 15 agst Mr. Mostyn's Camera
Obscura, 1,000 to 15 agst Mr. Irwin's Horn of Chase, 1,000 to
15 agst Lord Chesterfield's Jenny Wren, 6,000 to 100 each,
in one bet, agst Bourton, The Flitch, and Doleful ; 1,000 to 15
each, two or three times, agst The Flitch, Jenny Wren.
Chertsey, Jinglepot, Best Bower, and Milden, in one bet; and
also, in one bet, 1,000 to 20 agst Cherry, 1,000 to 20 agst
Lady Wildalr, 1,000 to 15 agst Pam, and 1,000 to 15 agst Jenny
Wren.

Another lot of 20 was taken for 200 even, but the names

1000 to 15 agst Mr. Bouverie's War Eagle—taken
1000 to 15 agst Mr. Mostyn's West India Planter—

and afterwards offered
1000 to 15 agst Mr. O'Brien's Bedlam—taken
1000 to 15 agst Mr. Irwin's Horn of Chase—taken.

Epirote, who was backed at 10 and 11 to 1, and left off
looking up, was the only horse in anything like force. Planet
was backed for 501. at 16 to 1, and two or three parties would
have taken 25 to 1 about Glentilt.

OAKS.
9 to 1 agst Mr. Payne's Clementina—taken
10 to 1 agst Mr. John Day's The Farmer's Daughter—t.
12 to 1 agst Mr. Mostyn's Slander—taken
16 to 1 agst Sir J. Ilawley's Miami—taken
We understand that Mr. Irwin's Horn of Chase, Mickey
Free, and three or four others, have arrived at Forth's stables
at Mitchell Grove. The Queen of Tyne and Banana have
bee,, sent to Ridsdale's stables at Newmarket.

Mr. Mostyn has named his Derby colt by Lanercost, out of
La Femme Sage, " Wiseacre ;" his tiss Martin colt, " Mr.
Martin ;" and the filly out of L'Hirondeile, " Swallow."
Sir Heathcote has sold Akbar, to go to Italy, for 500
guineas. We believe he is, in consequence, scratched for the
Metropolitan Handicap.
