SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTER SA LUS..-YESTERDAY. _

The Chester Cup betting derived its importance from the
advent of Clumsy, one of the Goodwood lot, and the strong
feeling displayed in favour of Hope and Miss Burns. Of the
three Clumsy, who rose from 50 to 1 to 1,000 to 30, and was
in immense force, was decidedly the greatest " pot ;" the
Baron was also in some demand, but the movements gene-
rally, apart from those alluded to, were unimportant; the
favourites were scarcely mentioned.
THE DERBY.—Brocardo was backed for about 3001., at 17
to 1; Tibthorpe for 100/., at 25 to 1; Humdrum at 40 to I,
in hundreds; Malcolm for 501., at the same odds; Poynton,
in two or three, at 1,000 to 20; and two or three other out-
siders at liberal odds. We did not hear a bet laid about
Sting or lago.
