SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.
CHESTER CIT.
15 to 1 agst Mr. Collett's Cattonite
15 to 1 agst Mr. W. I)awson's Merry Andrew
15 to 1 agst Mr. Sharratt's The Prior—taken
15 to 1 agst Mr. T. A. Milbank's Sir Robert-46 to It.
20 to 1 agst Mr. Bristow's Pharaoh
20 to 1 agst Mr. Stephenson's Freedom
25 to 1 agst Lord Westminster's Martyr
30 to 1 agst Mr. Plummer's Alice hawthorn—taken,
and afterwards offered. •
30 to 1 agst Mr. Gough's Greenfinch—tk, and aft offered
40 to 1 agst Mr. Minor's President—taken.
11 to 1 agst Jamie Forest and Freedom—taken
15 to 1 agst. Alice Hawthorn and Nutwith—taken
Although the three principal favourites stand at the same
price, there was a slight difference in the degree of estima-
tion in which they were respectively held. The Prior clearly
had the call of Merry Andrew, who, backed rather freely at
14 and 15 to 1, had a slight advantage over Sir Robert; the
latter had several friends, and figures in a Much more favour-
able position than he did a week ago. Cattonite was not in
demand. Of the other favourites, Freedom alone made any
advance.

DERBY.
11 to 2 agst Scott's lot—take 6 to I
10 to 1 agst Col. Peel's lot
11 to 2 agst Mr. John I)ay'sThe Ugly Buck—take 6 to 1
8 to 1 agst Mr. Crockford's Rattan
16 to 1 agst Mr. Lichtwald's Leander
16 to I agst Col. Peel's Orlando—taken
20 to 1 agst Lord Maidstone's Cockamaroo—t 22 to 1
25 to 1 agst Mr. Quin's Loadstone-7-taken
25 to 1 agst Mr. Itowes's T'Auld Squire
33 to 1 agst Mr. Watts's Voltri
33 to I agst Col. Peel's lonian—taken
40 to 1 agst Mr. PaVtle'S Vat colt—taken
50 to 1 agst Sir R. Ilulkeley's Bebington
50 to 1 agst Mr. .1. Osborne's Mount Charles
100 to 1 agst Col. Peel's Zenobia—taken
5 to 1 agst Scott's lot and Mohnt Charles—tak to 2001.
1100 to 100 agst Cockamaroo and T'Auld Squire
500 to 400 on Campunero agst Apprentice
The betting just touched upon the two leading faYourites,
and, without affecting the Buck's position, served to prove
that Rattan stood in higher favour than he did this time
last week ; 5 to 4, however, was still offered between the
two. Leander at one time receded to 20 to 1, but his
party came out with several ponies and fifties, choked off
the layers, and reduced the offers to 16 to 1 ; such we have
quoted as his price at the close; but we can scarcely ven-
ture to affirm that it is exactly correct. 16 to 1
was taken about Orlando, and 1,000 to 45 would
not have been refused about Cockamaroo. 1.000 to 40
was laid agst Loadstone, 1,000 to 30 agst lonian, 2,000 to 50
agst the Vat colt, 1,000 to 20 agst Apprentice, the takers
willing to go on; 1,00 to 20 agst Mount Charles, 2,000 to
35 agst. Bebington, 2,000 to 20 agst Zenobia, and 10 and 11
to 1 (in hundreds) agst Col. Peel's lot. Running Rein is
quite out of the betting.
