SP. O.RTiNG INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS'-MONDAY.

The attendance this afternoon was unusually large. The
primary business on hand, the settling on the recent
Wolverhampton and Reading meetings, as usual engrossed
the entire attention of the subscribers. Money happily ap-
peared to be plentiful, and the exchange passed over, we
are glad to record, with little, if any, cause of complaint.
Towards the close of the room a few of the active members
introduced business upon future events, having discharged
the liabilities of the past, and which, after some clever
finessing, assumed an air of importance. 'The first event on
hand, the Surrey and Middlesex Stakes at Egham, was but
slightly meddled with, Claire from her light impost being
supported at Bto 1 for £SO. The Ebor Handicap, which at
one period appeared to promise but a limited opportunity to
the bookmakers for the use of their pencils, received an im-
petus from the demonstration made in the city in the morn-
ing against Stockade, who at one period receded from the
position of first favourite at 6 to 1 to 30 to 1 offered ; but
as the day advanced the fusilade cooled down, and the
highest offer we could find the boldest make against the
Malton candidate was 100 to 6, but which met with no re-
sponse, although many of the supporters of the stable were
present. Virgilius in consequence of this opposition met
with increased support, his friends eagerly accepting the
opening price, and at the close 5 to 1 was taken to some
money. Lady Trespass was in force, and backed to win some
thousands, at her " upset" price, but at last her opponents
became a little more careful,' and 7 to 1 could with diffi-
culty be obtained at the finish. Moorcock, her stable com-
panion, was inquired after, and at 100 to 7 was supported
for upwards of £ioo. Cape Flyaway was backed at 100 to
8 for "half a century."
THE ST. LEGER.—Kettledrum was extremely buoyant,
his friends appearing in earnest, 6 to 2, his opening price,
being readily taken, and at one period of the afternoon as
little as 70 to 40 was taken about him, but at last 2 to 1,
although taken to money, could have been obtained. 12
to 1 each was taken about Lady Ripon and Kildonan, and
100 to 6 each Dictator and Big Ben, but only to small
amounts. Imaus and Janus were supported in well-in-
formed quarters at 20 to 1 for upwards of £2OO or £3OO, and
arasite at 50 to 1.

THE DERBY.—Alvediston had a friend step in who took
25 to 1 to " a pony" about him, and Patriot was inquired
:after and 40 to 1 noted down. 5,000 to 50 was laid against
Peignoir, and 1,000 to 5 agst Earl of Surrey. The following

R ADCLIFFE RACES—MONDAY.
IsTotwithstanding the fact that the afternoon was anything
but favourable for out-door amusements, the attendance was
exceedingly large, though the racing was of a very inferior
quality. Indeed, with the exception of the Wilton Cup,
there was nothing whatever decided which calls for com-
ment. Out of four runners for the principal event, two were

furnished by Mr. Cliff's stable; one of whom, however
(Twinkle), was started to make pace for Nosegay, with

whom Mr. Wright declared to win. The issue was never
in doubt, for the pair had their opponents safe throughout,

and Nosegay won in a canter.

We append full details of the sport, which commenced
with—

The Stand Plate (handicap) of 30 sous for all ages. Six
Mr. v, • furlongs.
Mr. Reed's Cumberlanc,
Mr. Jones's Forester, 2 yrs,ssc nID (cat(."2lEaers
(Barlow) 3
Mr. Coburn's North Lancashire, 4 yrs, 7st 101 b. • (Page) 4
Mr. Smith's Sheffield, 5 yrs, Bst 91b (Smethurst) 5
Betting-2 to 1 each agst Twinkle and Forester, 3to 1
agst Cumberland, and 4 to 1 agst Sheffield.—Cumberland
jumped off in advance, and with Forester and Twinkle
next, came on to the straight. At the distance Forester
fell back beaten, and Twinkle giving Cumberland the "go
by," she came on at her ease, and won in a canter by a
length and a half ; half a length separated the second and
third, and Sheffield whipped in throughout.
The Maiden Plate of 3 sous each, with 20 added, for horses
that never won £5O at any one time on the flat. Abut
one mile and a quarter.
Mr. Osborne's Dubious, 3 yrs, 7st 71b (Challoner) 1
Mr. Mills's Sinnaird, 3 yrs, 7st (J. Harrison) 2
Mr. Riddell's Goldbeck, 3 yrs, 6st 111 b.. (H. Grimshaw) 3
Betting-2 to lon Dubious, 3to 1 agst Itinnaird, and
4 to 1 agst Goldbeck.—Dubious made all the running, the
other ir following him as placed, and he won easily by
a length pa,
the same distance between the second and third

horses.
The Wilton Cup of 50 soya in specie, added to a handicap
sweepstakes of 5 sovs each. About one mile and a half.
Mr. 'Wright's Nosegay, 5 yrs, 7st 101 b (Gardiner) 1
Mr. Chilton's Rosamond, 4 yrs, Bst (Challoner) 2
Mr. Wright's Twinkle, 3 yrs, 6st (H. Taylor) 3
Mr. Buckley's Wynnstay, 3 yrs, 7st 101 b (H. Grimshaw) 4
Betting-6 to 4 agst Wynnstay, 7to 4 agst Nosegay,
and 2to 1 agst Rosamond. Nosegay, with Rosamond in
attendance, Wynnstay lying last, made play to the
straight, where Twinkle, who was started to serve her
stable companion, rushed through her horses, and made
strong running past the Stand, followed by Nosegay and
Rosamond, the favourite being still last. In making the
top turn Wynnstay slipped up, and was all but down on his
side, which lost him several lengths. Grimshaw, however,
got him up in a moment, and he was soon in pursuit of the
leaders. Twinkle gave way to her stable companion at the
half-mile post, at which point Nosegay bore his colours to
the fore ; and, although challenged by Rosamond at the
distance, the latter failed to get up, and she was beaten very
easily by a length. Both Twinkle and Wynnstay passed
the post pulling up.
The Heaton Park Handicap of 3 sovs each, with 20 added,
for all ages. One mile.
Mr. Wright's Knutsford, 3 yrs, Cat 121 b (Taylor) 1
Mr. Bates's Rajah Brooke, 4 yrs, 7st 41b (H. Grimshaw) 2
Mr. Riddell's Rose, 3 yrs, Est 41b . (Carroll) 3
Mr. Coburn's North Lancashire, 4 yrs, 7st 121 b.. (Page) 4
Betting-6 to 4on Knutsford, and 3to 1 each agst
Rajah Brooke and Rose. Knutsford made all the running,
followed along the back side by North Lancashire and Rose.
At the half mile post the latter pair were beaten, and Rajah
Brooke took second place. Knutsford, however, held his
own throughout, and won in a canter by a length. There
were three lengths between the second and third horses.
The Selling Handicap of 3 sovs each, with 20 added, for al'

ages. Once round and a distance.
Mr. Osborne's Dubious, 3 yrs, 7st 71b....(Challoner) w.o

THE MOORS.—After all that was said in the
London sporting papers of the certainty of disappointment
on the moors this season, and the frightful prevalence of
disease, we have no little satisfaction in announcing that
our first statement of the number and healthy condition of
grouse in this part of the country, has turned out to be
strictly correct. The sport on the moors has been quite
equal to the average of years, and would have been very
much better but for the fact that the young birds are un-
usually strong and wild. The weather also was exceedingly
unfavourable.—lnverness Courier.

EXTRAORDINARY DOG. At Aldershot Camp
there is a large spaniel belonging to a sergeant in the Royal
Artillery, who has been taught by his master, during
tedious days of camp life, to perform tricks that are almost
marvellous. The dog is perfect in his drill, marching
slow, quick, and at the double, in obedience to the word of
command. After he had been put through his paces, his
master called him up and asked his opinion of the various
regiments on the ground. Were the Plungers the best
corps ?—no signs of approval. Were the 42d Foot ?
silence on the part of the dog. After going over half-a-
dozen names the master asked, exactly in the same tone as
that in ,which he put his previous questions, the dog's
opinion of the Royal Artillery. He instantly burst out into
1 a loud joyous barking, jumping about, and rolling. The
1 sergeant then called for three cheers for the King of Prussia
—no sounds ; three cheers for the King of Naples—a low
growl; three cheers for the Emperor of Austria—silence
again ; three cheers for the Queen of England—such a
volley of resounding barks that echoed again
