SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S-TIIURSDAY.
The most important feature in yesterday's proceedings
was the retreat of the Euclid colt for the Newmarket
Handicap. sto 1 was taken early in the day, but near
the close the biddings against him rose to 7 to 1, at
whieh price, although it was taken in two or three quar-
ters, he closed. An even hundred was laid on Vanish
against hitn. Sting left oil' at an improved quotation,
but in other respects the business on this race
was governed by Monday's prices. The Port as
before, and very little done on the Metropolitan
Handicap, 2;000 Guineas Stakes, or Chester Cup.
With reference, however, to the two last-
mentioned events, we should state that Planet rose half
a point for one, and that while Dulcet was in-
vested with the premiership for the other, Punch receded
to 35 to 1. The Derby betting was dull; albeit, Planet
was in force at 9 to 1; Epirote in somewhat batter odour
than on Monday; Glentilt and the Liberator were backed
for about 501. each, and Mr. Martin for 1501. or there-
abouts. Closing prices :----
