SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S-MONDAY.

The room was well attended, but a "duller Monday"
was never witnessed. With the exception of a few in.
vestments on Rosati for the Goodwood Stakes, and
several inquiries after Arsenal for the St. Leger, busi-
ness was at a Stand—Jill, and when the subscribers die-
persed we were enabled to compile only the following

Tni MEMBERS' PLATE—NEWCASTLE.—When the
stewards of the Newcastl , ❑ieeting declared all bets off
on the Metnbers' Pla!e, they exercised a power to which
they were not entitled, Admiral Pious states, in his
treatise on " The Law and Practice of Racing," that
" the steward's decision is final on all points of racing,
but his authority does not extend to disputes on bets."
The case of the Membf.rs's Plate was brought before the
committee at Tattersalt's, and in the course of the after-
uo.in the following notice was posted :
" The committee are of opinion that the stewards of
Newcastle bad no power or authority tc declare the bets
off on the Members' Plate.
(Signed)

" EXMOUTH.
H. J. Rous.
G. PAINE.
C. GREVILLIC."
The error committed by the stewards in causing the
"deciding heat" to be run after the last race appointed
for the day, was also loudly condemned ; for if the start
was invalid the race should have been run as near to the
proper time a 4 possible. Of course bets are determined
by the " last heat," and as people who backed Logie
o' Buchan and others who did not put in an appearance
the second time, are in doubt whether they can be called
upon to pay. We subjoin the Jockey Club rule (40)
which bears upon the question :
" When the riders of any horses brought out to run
for any race are called upon by the persons appointed
to start them to take their places for that purpose, the
owner of every horse which comes up to the post shall
be considered as liable to pay his whole stake, and all
bets respecting such horses shall be considered as pay or
play bets."

EARLY BlRD.—This horse broke his leg whilst at exer-
cise on Friday morning last. He was galloping at the
time and in the act of changing his leg, when he struck
them with Euch violence as to cause the accident men-
tioned.
