SPORTING INTELLIGENCE

TAT I'ERSALUS—WEDNESDAY.
The Derby betting, although extremely flat,.was not unim-
portant, inasmuch as it brought Planet and Bowstring pro-
minently into notice, and sent Mr. Martin, if not altogether
out of the market, at least out of anykind of favour; the odds -
quoted being quite nominal. Van Tromp also gave way; and
for the Oaks, as much as 10 to 1 was laid against the Farmer's
Daughter. These were the only movements of any conse-
quence.

EPSOM RACES.—We are glad to state that Sir Gilbert
Heathcote has, with his usual kind feeling, allowed a portion
of his park poles to be removed, which will enable the Derby
horses to be pulled up within his paddock; this will 10
doubt prevent a recurrence of the accidents which have
day when frequently taken place at Epsom at the finish of
a race, and recently on the Metropolitan ,
two horses ran away down Chalk-lane, only having prey%
ously thrown his rider, who was seriously hurt. and ras.t.i.
through Epsom town, by the Spread Eagle. (We trust ts 4
permission will not be confined to the Derby). The got.

is in first-rate condition, owing to the judicious
meets, made by Mr. Dorling, during the last two wintert
