SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSAL US.—YESTERDAY.
The Goodwood Stakes engrossed nearly the whole
business of the afternoon ; it extended over an extensive
field, but. in its final results, presented very few altera-
tions. The chief outlay was on the Libel, Pythia, Warp,
Venus, Queen Mah, Glossy, and Extravaganza, the odds
against each, with the exception of the last too, agreeing
very closely with those quoted on Monday. Queen Mab
and Pythia were decidedly most in request. Glossy
began at 30 to 1, and at those, and rapidly diminishing
odds, was backed to win a large stake. Extravaganza's
first price was 50 to 1, the last 35 to 1, layers. lEgis
was hacked at 16, 18, and 20 ; Wee Pet at 20 and 25 to 1;
and Europa at 1.000 to 30. The Liverpool and Good-
wood Cups, and St. Leger, were occasionally men-
tion,d, but nothing done worthy of remark. Closing
