SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
The Chester Cup betting was brisk in two or three in•
stances, and, with scarcely !in exception of any moment, was
governed by last week's prices. Mermat I, backed freely at
35 to I, and 1,000 to 30, was decidedly the " lion " of the
day. Intrepid was also in force, and the four leading favour-
ites were steady at the quoted prices ; the outlay on each
uuld not have been less than 2001. The Derby betting was
dull, but far from unimportant, inasmuch as Brocardo was
forced backed to 20 to 1 (laid three or four times), and left
off a worse favourite than lago. This change was indicated
by the demonstration adverted to last week. Tibtborpe was
backed eagerly at 35 to 1, and 1,000 to 15 was taken three or
four times about Mr. Wrefoi d's filly, Wilderness. At the
close the averages were as under:—.
