SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YEsTEnDAY.

Our report of yesterday's betting will present few changes
from the quotations made on Thursday. Business was languid
in all respects, and particularly on the three favourites, who
were in very little request. Coronation, it is said, will be sent
to Coventry for the Trial Stakes. Of the next lot of favourites,
taking in those from 20 to 2r..- to 1, Ralph was most in favour,
having been backed in the first instance at 25 to 1 and after-
wards two or three timns at 1,000 to 45. Palaemon opened at
22 to 1, was' backed by two or three parties for small amounts,
and closed at the average of the last fortni,tht, 20 to 1.
Marshal Soult was taken for 1,000 even agst Knight of the
Whistle, and found rather a powerful supporter at the odds
stated below. Cameicon declined at one moment to 25 to 1,
but this having been taken, he rallied, and at the finish, no
one would have laid so much by a eouple of points. Galaor
(Darioletta colt) had many friends, and several tens and scores
were put on Van Amburgh. Mosque and Paul Potter at
long odds. Scott's lot was backed for 2001. at 9to 2, and for
1001. at a fraction less The general odds at the close of a
dull and unimportant eternoon stood as follows:

HER MAJESTY'S BUCK HOUNDS.

The sport, during the three days the Royal stag hounds
were out the past week was of a first-rate character. On one
of the days, Monday last, such was the heat of the weather, and
the heavy nature of the country, in consequence of the late
rains, that several horses were cump'etely knocked up long be-
fore the deer was taken, and two of them, we have since heard,
are dead, and others still labouring under the effects of the
great fatigue they then endure'l. Lord Kinnaird, the Master
of the hounds, went out with them cash day.
. _ _

In consequence of its having been the intention of Prince
Albert to have hunted on Friday last, a more numerous field
had assembled at Southall, the place bf meeting on that morn-
ing, than had been present on any day during the whole of the
season. His Royal Highness, however, abandoned his original
intention ; but this determination on the part of the Prince
was but little known (except to a few in the immediate neigh.
bourhood of Windsor) until the hour of meeting at !=outhall.
The hundreds who were present, on horseback and on foot,
in the expectation of seeing Prince Albert in the field, were
doomed to disappointment.
The following is the result of the sport during the week :
Monday.---The meet took pace at Gerard's Cross, and not
at Denham Pound, as advertised. The celebrated deer, Rob
Roy, which generally cuts out plenty of Mork for all parties
engaged, was uncarted shortly after twelve o'clock, and started
off at a tremendous pace—which it kept up during nearly the
whole of a good two hours and forty minutes' run—towards
Chalfont, thence to Pollard's Wood, by Chenies, to Chesharn
Bottom. From thence it went direct to Latimer's, crossing
Chippingfield Common to King's Langley, where, after being
dead beaten, it was at length secured. Only a few of th-,t
more hardy and determined riders, who were well mounted,
were in at the take.

Wednesday.—The meet this day was at Winkfield Church,
but very few were present. The dear, " Paddy," afforded
but little sport, it having been run into, in less than half an
hour, at St. Leonard's Dale, having taken the line of coun-
try through 'Winnfield and North-streets on to the forest, to
the place where it. was secured. During this short run it
took water twice—once in a pond near the vicarage at
Winktield, and a second time in the enclosures at St. Leonard's.
Another deer was then turned out from the Paddocks at Swin-
W, which made towards Ramslade, the park of Sir John
Walsh, to Brock. thence by Upton to Hollyport-green ;
and after crossing the Great Western Railroad, it was taken,
after a good run of upwards of two hours (which compensated
for the flounderings of " Paddy"), at Cooltham Dean.

Friday.—The field at the meet in the m wiling at Southall
consisted of upwards of five hundred well-mounted red coats,
many having travelled several miles in the anticipation of
Prince Albert being present. A fine deer was uncarted at
Perry- vale, which made direct towards Harrow•on-the hill.
It then ran a circuit round the flat country, the church of Har-
row being the centre, and was taken, with only one check, at
Boxey, after a good hunting run of one hour and ten minutes.
Mr. C. Davis, her Majesty's huntsman, rode his celebrated
horse, the Hermit, at the hunt on Monday last. From his
great age, and the hard services he has rendered his rider for a
period of now upwards of ten years, it is not expected that Mr.
Davis will run the risk of aga'n riding his favourite horse, from
the very natural fear, which he has lately expressed, that some
of these fine mornings his strength, though not his heart, may
fail him in the field.
