SPURTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALLS'-THURSDAT.

The Manchester meeting had caused the absence of seve-
ral subscribers, but the room was nevertheless well attended,
and a great deal of comparing gone through. Some heavy
betting afterwards took place, when the two favourites were
firm, Dundee having still an upward tendency, 1,000 to
400 having been taken about him in one bet towards the
close of the afternoon's proceedings. An outlay of several
hundred pounds brought Klarikoff to 7 to 1, with an evi-
dent disposition to go on on the part of the takers.• Kettle-
drum was in less favnnr thou ut Bath nn Wedneeday, and
Dictator recovered from his imaginary indisposition, which
appears to have come suddenly upon him from an error in
a telegraphic despatch. Rouge Dragon, reported to be
coughing, receded in a quarter of an hour from 10 to 30 to
1. Royalieu was also in but little favour. The closing
prices were :

pace as she proceeded, was soon several lengths in advance of
First Lord, who was followed by Rosamond and Ivanhoff,
the others lying in good positions. On passing the Stand
Isabella was still in possession of the lead, First Lord going
on second, and Ivanhoff next. With little or no alteration,
they ran thus to the half-mile post, where Avalanche ran
into the fourth place, Rosamond at the same time falling
back into the rear. Lady Trespass shortly after improved her
position, and in a few strides got up to the girths of Avalanche.
Midway between the lower turns Snapdragon, who was fol-
lowing in the wake of First Lord, struck' into the latter's
heels, and in so doing brought both horse and rider to the
ground, fortunately without injury to either. After the ac=
cident First Lord, on recovering himself, went on in pur-
suit of his horses, but before he had proceeded far he sud-
denly stopped as if shot, and Bullock at once dismounted
and led him back to the enclosure. As they neared the
lower turn Isabella's lead diminished, and Ivanhoff went
up to her head, in a few strides obtained a clear lead, Ava 7
lanche lying third, and Lady Trespass next, Rosamond and
Desmond lying up. At the distance Lady Trespass passed
Avalanche, and became second. Isabella at the same time
fell back beaten. Half way up Lady Trespass made her
effort, but was unable to reach Ivanhoff, who won in a trot
by five lengths; six lengths between the second and third.
Rosamond was a bad fourth, Desmond fifth, and Isabella
sixth.
