SPORTING INTELLIGENCE•

TATTERSALL'S.—YESTELDAY.
Until near six o'clock, the attentian of a very crowded room
was wholly occupied in settling on the Goodwood races, 09
which, owing to the number of events, and the unprecedented
bri,kness of speculation, the accounts were exceedingly heavy;
It is a gratifying proof of the healthy state of the ring that
money was plentiful, and that this important finale to a mesas
brilliant meeting passed off satisfactorily. The 't. Leger as
touched upon late in the evening, and. a few scores and fifties
invested in the following prices :

We understand that his Majesty the King of the Netherlands
was so delighted with his visit to Goodwood, that he has ea'
pre,sed his intention to the Duke of Richmond to see the
" Orange Cup " run for next year.
Mr. 1-libburd, we believe, will in future officiate as starter 0
Goodwood races.
A serious accident befel Mr. Fagg, a subscriber
fait
Tattersall's, on his return from Goodwood last Friday. 7,„,
was first thrown from his gig, and laid for some time on t";
road with a broken leg, was taken up by one of the extra coaches
from the races, and this being immediately afterwards over-
turned, the same leg was again fractured.
