SPORTING INTELLIGENC E.
TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
DERBY.
The last four and twenty hours appear to have disposed of
Sting's pretensions for the Derby. On Tuesday night. 15,
20, and 25 was laid against him, and yesterday he had only a
nominal standing at 18 to 1. His backers are not very
sanguine even of having a race for their money, but they are
curious to know the cause of so extraordinary a retrogression.
His decline gave the two favourites a further lift, and brought
The Premier and the Conqueror more prominently into
favcur. The betting in other respects was flat.
