SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SETTLING for the DERBY and OAKS.
This interesting "epilogue" to the races took place yes.
terday at Tattersall's, which was crowded from noon till
nearly six o'clock ! The adjustment of accounts proceed-
ed very slowly; and it was evident, from the number of
serious faces, that there was a terrible deficiency of the
" one thing needful ;" every thing, however, went off
quietly. It is not now the fashion to levant; those who
are unlucky enough "throw out" find it answer better to
pay a little on account, and " promise " the remainder, the
value of which may be calculated without the assistance of
Cocker. A still better way is to bet through the medium
of friends, and leave them to pay—or, to give bills and
dispute the payment on account of their illegality ! ! For
these reasons it will not do to say there was a levanter ;
but there was an absentee, the party who on Monday
started the objection about St. Giles, which objection he
has actually stuck on all the walls at the West-end of the
town, headed " St. Giles not entitled to the Derby Stakes."
The case is simply thus :—Some time back it was discovered
that, in the description of St. Giles for the Derby, a
slight error had been committed in naming the gran-
dam, and it was currently reported that he was dis-
qualified : in the First Spring Meeting, however,
the matter came before the Jockey Club, who de-
cided that the identity of the horse was perfect, the
names of the sire and darn being given as required
by the 17th rule, and that, consequently, St. Giles was
qualified to run for the Derby. He then came regularly
into the market, and amongst those who betted against
hint was the very party alluded to; bad the horse lost,
there is no doubt that he would have attended to receive ;
but the reverse happening to be the case, he makes use of
this pretext to avoid the payment of bets made with his eyes
open. The objection, to be valid, ought to have been
made before the race. Although the losses were numerous
and heavy, there was no one to second this quibble. The
defalcations of the party alluded to are stated to exceed
four thousand pounds. It is gratifying to add that the
Derby is allowed to have been a perfectly fair race : it was

were all Yorkshire—the second horse was Yorkshire—the
third from the same county—and the fourth bred is the
North ! When will Newmarket hedge to this? At one
time the odds wet e high against St. Giles—who, during
the pet iod of his supposed disqualification, could have been
purchased for five hundred pounds : he is now worth three
thousand ; while the third horse, Trustee, was sold yester-
day, to Lord Cleveland, for two thousand guineas ! The
conduct of the party throughout has been in the highest
degree sportsmanlike and honourable, and cannot suffer
from the groundless insinuations contained in the flaming
posting-bill mentioned above.
