SPO.R TING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING AT NIANZHESTER—TUESDAY.
The Bath and Somerset meeting has been sufficiently at-
tractive to have a thinning effect upon the attendance at the
rooms here, and the betting upon the Derby was not marked
by heavy investments. The Promised Land was in demand,
at an advance upon 2to 1. Islusjid meets with little sup-
port, and was friendless to -day at 6to 1. 20 to 1 was cur-
rently offered on the field, bar two. Highwayman was in
force at 25 to 1. The same remarks apply to Trumpeter.
Electric continues to receive steady opposition in this
market, and receded to 25 to 1, offered. 100 to 3 was offered
in many places against Enfield.

After one slight failure they got away, Hartley Wintney
showing in advance, with Brother to. Rainbow, Buccaneer,
Chre Arnie, Market Gardener, anti Idupullus lying pretty
close together, well up. At the distance the favourite
joined Brother to Rainbow, disposed of him before reaching

cus, Halliford, and Sir Hercules.

The betting opened at 6 to 4 agst Trumpeter, but closed
at evens on him, a to 1 agst Highwayman, 6 to 1 agst Cyn-

ricus.

Sir Hercules got away in advance, but on entering the
far side of the course Cynricus deprived him of the lead and
he also gave place to Halliford, and went on third with
Sheffield by his side, Trumpeter dropping completely into
the rear when half way along the back stretch. As they
approached the extfeme turn, Halliford for a short time
headed Cynricus, but soon afterwards dropped back. On
making for the straight, Trumpeter was sent to draw up
towards his horses, with Highwayman and Scent next in
pursuit of Cynricus; the last-mentioned was, however,
beaten at the distance, where Trumpeter took the lead, held
it to the end, and won in a canter by three lengths; half
way up the distance Scent passed Highwayman, who ran
very unkindly, but she gave way to him opposite the Stand,
and was beaten by three lengths for secoul place.
On making the last turn the Bribery colt struck into
something, supposed to be Halliford, and fell. Flatman
was stunned for a short time, and severely bruised about the
face. Fortunately he escaped further injury. His horse
got loose, but was stopped by the crowd opposite the Stand.
Halliford walked in some time afterwards.
Before the race 20 to 1 each was taken about Trumpeter
and Highwayman for the Derby; after it, 50 to 1 was of-
fered against Highwayman, and 10 to 1 was booked about
Trumpeter.
The County Members' Plate (Handicap) of 50 sous.
Winners extra. About a mile and a half.

The following also ran :—Laodamia, Tame Deer, Apollo,
Grillade, Corkscrew, Gala colt, Arcanum, The Poet, Aunt
Sally, and Whimsical.
Betting-7 to 2 agst Tame Deer, sto 1 agst the Gala
colt, 6 to 1 agst Eltham Beauty.
Eltham Beauty came in first, beating Apollo, second, by
a head. Ferndale a bad third. On'returning to scale, the
rider of Ferndale objected to the first two on the ground of
a cross. The Stewards investigated the charge, and decided
that Apollo had crossed Ferndale, and that Eltham Beauty
was entitled to the Plate.
The Free Handicap did not produce a race.

an offer was made to back him for even money against
Musjid "in their places." Musjid Was very unsteady, and
Bath races are likely to maintain their reputation for being
fatal to Derby favourites.
