SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-YESTERDAY.

Several changes arose out of the Derby betting yesterday after-
noon, and at one time it was doubtful whether Tom Tulloch, the
Peri colt, Fancy Boy, or Humdrum would leave off premier ; Lord
Maidstone's horse ultimately obtained that honour; Fancy Boy,
against whom 9, 10, and 12 to 1 had been laid, taking the second
place ; the Peri colt receding from 8 to 1 takers, 9 to 1 layers, and
Humdrum closing at 10 to Pyrrhus the First was in favour at
13 to 1, Crown Prince at 16 and 17 to 1, the Conjuror at 22 to I, and
Ingo at 25 to 1, to which price Sting was also driven before the
close of the room, Sir Tatton Sykes gave way point by point, and at
the close was friendless at 20 to 1. Several outsiders were backed,
and the general prices at the break up showed that, as for the
Chester Cup, the owners of the horses are not very sanguine.
Mendicant was backed freely at 4 to 1 for the Oaks, and Mowerina
at improving prices until she reached 18 to I, taken. The last quo-
tations were as follows :
