SPORTING INTECLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'SJiKSTFRBA Y.
Settling on Friday's races at Newmarket -and betting on the
Derby kept a full room in tolerably brisk employment until half-
past six o'clock. Launcelot and the Melody colt were the lions
of the day ; the first bet laid against the former was 5 to 1 in
fifties ; 4to 1 follOWed to a considerable amount, then 7, to 2,
and 400 to 110, the last price offered being 7 to 2. 10 to l was
taken about the Melody colt to a large sum, and he advanced a
point with backers before the room was closed. 9to 1 each
against Assassin and Theem to two or three hundred pounds ;
and 400 to 100 against them jointly were taken, and 8 to 1 and
10 to 1 afterwards offered against than separately, as below.
18 to 1 was taken about Mulev Ishmael in a good quarter,
and a few bets laid against Pathfinder, Monops, Lucetta colt,
Black Bess, and Confederate; butiwe cannot add that either
was supported with any spirit. Confederate dropt to 30 to 1,
and Angelica was non est. Sir G. Heathcotes Lot and Cor-
morant at 40 to 1, and Mr. Osbaidiston's Lot at 1000 to 10,
1000 to 1, and la,tly, 1000 to 20, were backed freely.
THE oAxs.-4.letting is almost at an end. It is true that
5 to 1 was offered against Black Bess, and 10 to 1 laid against
Lalla Rookh ; but when such unprecedented odds as 2 to 1 are
offered on one (Crueifix)against the field, business is out of the
question.
