SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.'

TATTERSALL'S.-YESTERDAY.

A formal declaration at three o'clock yesterday after-
noon, that all Mr. Green's horses were scratched, except
Shyleoscbko,rfooullgohweadn(l The Sheriff, created quite a sensationby a similar announcement with regard
to B
in the room, and almost put an end to speculation on
the Derby; the principal business was on Surplice; 6 to
5 was taken freely, and at the close it was even betting,
the field having the call. Some money was laid out on
Nil Desperandum, Glendower, Shylock, and The Fiddler
(the latter reported to be " himself again"), but there
was nothing like eagerness displayed by their supporters.
Templeman, it is said, is likely to be on the favourite,
and not above eighteen are expected to run. The Oaks
betting was flat, with no other result of consequence than
to restore Do-it- again to the Premiership. Not the
slightest disposition was shown to hack Cymba. Latest
prices:—

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—My last letter requires but slight amendment.
My opinion of the crack, Eagle's Plume, and Springy
Jack remaining, unaltered. The principal alteration is
in the starting list, which, as far as I can judge, will be
the following :
*Surplice (Templeman); *Nil Desperandum (A.Day);
Glendower (Nat) ; *Springy Jack (F. Butle)
Loadstone (Sly or Matson) ; Shylock (Robinson) ;
*Eagle's Plume (Marlow) ; The Fiddler (Chapple) ;
Oscar (Whitehouse); Comet (Edwards); Fugleman,
Telegraph, Great Western, and Sponge. Two or three
others may start, but they will make no difference in the
result. The jcckeys' names I have attached to the
principal favourites ; those marked with an asterisk will
form the front rank at the finish, which contains the
first and second's name for a certainty. I shall take
Lord Eglinton's Eagle Plunge for my life-boat, and hope
I may for the fourth time pull through triumphantly.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.

.OF THE TURF.
Sr

come time in September last, Mr. James Harker,
of Kendal, on a visit to London, while partaking of some
boiled chicken felt a pricking sensation in his throat,
which he could only account for by supposing that he
had swallowed a small bone, or a fragment of one. The
obstruction appeared at first to remain where it had fixed,
and for some time Mr. Harker felt inconvenienced by it,
but at length the matter was forgotten. A week or two
ago the circumstance was recalled by a needle two inches
long making its way out of the flesh of the thigh,
whither it bad worked itself during the eight months
that had elapsed since the accident above related, when
of course the dangerous little implement had been un.
consciously swallowed by Mr. Harker.— Westmoreland
