SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TAT I'ER.S.k LL'S—LAST EVENING.
Tin; OBJ ECTION TO PRETENDER.
The following is the written protest of Sir Joseph
Hawley :

(COPY.)

6, Old Burlington-street., May 31, 1869.

Having heard a rumour that Hr. Sadler, the nominator
of Pretender for the Derby, died before the race was run,
I give notice to you not to pay over the stakes till the
matter is cleared up.

(Signed) JOSEPH HAWLEY.

To Messrs. Weatherby.

Meanwhile, answers to the telegrams which had been sent
to Doncaster were awaited with great impatience, but it
was not until about four o'clock, nearly three hours aftfNr
the first message had been sent, that they arrived. I give
copies of two which came under my notice :

May 31.

Report false. Mr. Sadler quite well ; passed my shop
this morning, and saw Daby run far list week. Now
here.

From T. Dawson to R. Booth.
Sadler is quite well ; not likely to die.
If, after these messages, any doubt had remained as to
Sadler's not having gone the way of all flesh, it would
surely have been dispelled by the following telegram,
received half an hour later, from himself, which reads not
unlike a communication from the spirit over whom Mr.
Home has such influence :

May 31.

Sadler, Doncaster, to Mr. Tattersall.
I am breeder of Pretender, and nominated him myself.
I am quite well, and in good health.
All doubt having been set at rest by these very satisfac-
tory eommunications, the committee of Tattersall's set
themselves with praiseworthy zeal to aid them by endea-
vouring to allay the panic that still prevailed, and besides
using their personal influence with members, they issued
ho following notice :
=The committee having ascertained that the nominator
of Pretender is now alive, all accounts must be settled.
