SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALLS—YESTERDAY.
Several nobleman and gentlemen added their names to the
Hit of subscriptions, and the room, for a longer period than
usual, was crowded to excess. Betting was rather languid at
first, but improved towards evening, and before it was brought
to a close extended over a large field. The two leading fa-
vourites were backed for between two and three hundred
each, the first at 9 to 1, with a tolerably steady aspect,
and the other at 20 and 25 to I, without holding out
any encouraging prospect for his backers. The Dirce
Colt, Wiseacre, and Ballinkeele succeeded, in the order
we have quoted them below, and the first two were
rather strongly fancied; the amount laid out, however, was
moderate. Several outsiders were backed, and three of them
ith uncommon spirit, viz., the Joanna colt, Espartero, and
Equation. Auckland was promoted to 33 to I, at a very
trifling outlay. The Oaks was touched upon at intervals, and
slightly to the prejudice of Passion and the Adela filly; both,
however, were backed. The Amina filly found favour with
two or three parties at an improved price, and is likely to be-
come a much better favourite. The Chester Cup betting was
slack and unimportant.

As there is magic in the very name of Epsom, I know not
why I have, until now, delayed all mention of the great race,
the Oaks. The entry is unusually great, the betting has been
unusually heavy, and, I believe, one Noble Lord has laid
against more than fifty mares engaged in this race. So many
of these, however, were heard of only as yearlings, and have
never been named in the Tattersall list, that the following
summary must be supposed to contain only the doings since
the Houghton meeting.
Exclusive of Scott's lot, then, about twenty mares have been
individually backed.
Passion, still languidly heading the list, came with a rush so
soon as it was made public that John Day was to train her,
Mr. Et wall being named as the purchaser; 7 and 6 to I were taken
to many hundred pounds. She retired about Christmas to 8
and 9 to 1, and, as your reporter writes, the books seem to he
mare except Passion, nevertheless first fa-
vourite aboutritest every
ill She is engaged in the 1,000 gs., and the Hyde
Park Oaks at the Hippodrome.
The second favourite, the Sister to Yorkshire Lad, has been
backed to win a sum of money at 12 to 1, nor more nor less.
She was beat a neck by Passion in a half mile race, and very
little more by Wiseacre for the Prendergast. No engagement
before the day.
Syren, one of Scott's, is next in favour ; 13 to 1 can scarcely
be obtained about her. She was first backed at 25, then 20,
and rose in one day to her present position. No engagement.
The Adela filly (Lord Jersey's)
is reported to be a remark-
ably fine mare, indeed, the Newmarketites will hear of no
other. most of the books were filled at 25 to 1, hence her

rising so sudden'y to 12 to 1. Present price 14 to-1. .Noe's'
gagement. The three out of the four favourites do not colas
out till the day ; the public have here shown unusual judgment.
Lord Exeter's Amina filly stands next, and the most • re',
eently imported she is, for until Monday last we never beard o'
her. She is a rising *favourite, and is in the 1,000 guineas.
The Lass of Louton (Scott) was for some period nominallf
at 14 to 1, but I doubt if she ever was backed for more till!
51. at these adds. She was at 20 to 1, then 30 to 1, and is jes'
now out of the market. By Bay Middleton, an unpopular site,
and has several engagements in the Spring Meetings.
In the 20 and 25 to 1 class are Belle Dame, sister to Fite'
roy (no engagement); the Baleine filly' a mare that ran re'
spectably in the Ham Stakes at Goodwood, receiving 611*
(no engagement) ; Topsail, backed for much more mood
than any one Would imagine who studies public runnig
(no engagement);
the Duke of Rutland's f. out of Flats'
dam, twice well beaten in October (several enger
ments) ; Eusebia, whose best performance is the runntei
second to Rostrum for the Hopeful, half a mile, receiving —as'
( four engagements); Norma, Captain Gardner's, twice beat
about fifty yards (named in the Suffolk Stakes) ;
(Scott) engaged at Newmarket; and Rupture, first backed s;
40, then at 35, then at 25 to 1, trained at the Curragb, and
no engagement.
The other mares speculated on to a trifling extent To

1,000 Guineas and Newmarket Stakes. Besides the -t„.- ate
lot, there is a most respectable field. Sir Gilbert
has two, Mr. Th ornhill three, besides the one abo" inafr 1
