SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S.7—YESTERDA .
From the opening of the room to its close, Mermaid was the most
Prominently in demand of the Chester Cup horses, and she ultimately
dosed an equatif net a better favourite than the Best Bower ; at all
events, if sot quoted at less odds, she had by far the most powerful
Party. Several others were backed, but no changes of any moment
resulted. The Derby transactions were of some importance. 1,000
to 200 laid against Sting in the early part of the afternoon was fol-
lowed by several bets, at the same prices, and II to 4 having been
betted against him in conjunction with Brocardo and lago, it was
inferred by some that the horse or his nomination must be amiss;
the layers, however, were constant, and, at the close, 5 to 1 was ob-
tainable. Brocardo "came again," that is, 15 to 1 rag taken several
times, the layers, nevertheless, being willing to go on. 1,000 to 50
was taken, nine or ten tim es, about Tibthorpe, and 500 even offered
on bins against Spitheed. The betting, in other respects, presented
nothing of peculiar interest. Latest prices :
