SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S.-YgSTERDAY.

The subscribers met yesterday for the first time in the
new room, the opening of which, hastened by great ex-
ertion, has taken place at least ten days sooner than we
had ventured to anticipate. In every respect it will prove
a most acceptable accommodation to the frequenters of
" the Corner ;" it is capacious, well lighted and ventilated,
and is fitted up with every attention to the comfort of the
members. Its convenience as a summer resort fur specu-
lators is increased by a couple of doors opening over a
raised stone terrace to the circle, from which all but
subscribers will be rigidly excluded` on public days.
Those who have experienced the many discomforts of
the old room, will agree with us that the new one is a
very agreeable contrast to it, and that Messrs. Tattersall,
and their architect (Mr. George Tattersall), have left
them little to desire ; the only improvement we can sug-
gest, is the removal of the four desks to the corners
of the room, and the substitution of a long table in
the centre.—" Comparing" formed an essential prelimi-
nary to the business transacted in the course of the
afternoon ; considerable progress was made, but much
yet remains to be done ; we hope to see it completed on
Monday next. The Derby betting was confined to a
few horses, and did not lead to many changes of
importance. Against Coldrenick, 5 to 2 was laid fre-
quently, without bettering his position ; in fact, 11 to 4
Was offered at the close in two or three quarters. Attila
was backed to a considerable amount at 7 to 2, also with-
out advancing, as the same odds might have been obtained
at the finish. Auckland and Canadian had strong
parties, the former rising to 7 to 1, and the latter to 8
to 1, both taken with spirit ; if we add, that the Agree-
able colt was supported at 1,000 to 60, 18, and finally at
20 to 1, we shall have mentioned all the rising favourites.
The seceders were Jack (14, 15, and in one place 20 to
1 laid), Lasso, Meteor, and the Lord of Holderness ; the
last three were friendless. The betting against outsiders
does not encourage an expection that either of
them will make any great figure in future quotations.
Mr. Bird, the nominator of Dr. Allen, is reported to be
dead ; should this be true, all bets against the horse, are
void, except those in which he may have been coupled
with others.

TEE OAKS.—The Adela filly, Dil-bar, Firebrand,
Ma Mie and Meal were in force at the prices given
below, and 17 to 1 would have been taken about Dark
Susan. Offers to lay 11 to 1 against the Yorkshire Lass
