SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL' S.

The eagerness with which the odds were taken yesterday about
Mundig completely falsifies the rumour of his being amiss, to which
we alluded in our last report ; 11 to 2 was taken to 6001., and at
the finish the odds did not exceed sto I. Ascot was backed at 5
to 1 to 4001., some of the takers being willing to go on at the same
price. Several parties were anxious to back the Queen of Trumps,
and two or three got on at 3* to 1. The others stood out for 7to
2. Verbena was backed to a small sum at 10 to 1, and Hornsea to
a considerable amount at 13 to 1. These odds, however, were of-
fered at the breaking up. A few other bets were made, but not to
any amount. The following were the closing prices :-
18 to 4 agst Mr. Alostyn's Queen of Trumps—taken
5 to 1 agst Lord Orford's Ascot—taken
5 to 1 agst Mr. Bowes's Mundig-11 to 2 taken
10 to 1 agst Lord Derby's Verbena—taken
13 to 1 agst Mr. Richardson's Hornsea—taken
20 to 1 agst Mr. Johnson's Jupiter—taken
30 to 1 age Mr. Watt's Mamsel Otz—taken
33 to 1 agst Captain Taylor's Ainderby—offered
TIM DERBY.
2,000 to 100 agst Lord Jersey's Brother to Mahomet—taken

AQUA TICS.
GREENWICH SCULLERS' WAGER.—The watermen of Garden-
sstairs, Greenwich, rowed yesterday for a wherry and about
twelve pounds, given on this occasion under the patronage of
her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia of Gloucester.
There were several barges fitted up for the accommodation of
the subscribers, and the name of the distinguished Patroness
appeared to have brought the whole of the population of this
ancient place down to the water. It was one of those enor-
mities in the shape of five heats for six pairs of sculls. Three
men started first, then another three ; next the two last men in
each of the preceding heats. Then came the fourth heat.
The first man of the first and the first of the second against
against the two first of the third ; and, to conclude, Charles
Webb (light blue), and Richard West (yellow), started for
the grand heat from facing the Hospital, the entire length of
the town and back. Yellow never had a chance. Blue did
as he liked with him. The match was well conducted.

PIG NAMES.---Among the singularities of the Irish
peasantry is that of giving fine names to their pigs. " I have
heard of one instance," says Mr. Moore, " where a couple of
young pigs were named at their birth, Abelard and Eloise,"
