SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
BITTING-ROOM, TATTIIIRSALLik AUG. 4.
The Room was rather slightly attended to-day,but them was no
lack of business. The betting took a more ample range than for
many days past, as will be seen below. There is not any material
variation in the odds. Brntandorf remains stationary; Swiss is
wavering between 15 to 2 and 8 to 1 • the former predominating.
Nothing was done on the Thirty Guineas Stakes at York, and very
little on the Derby.

the 10th or :Sib of October. Hind.hunting begins •bout the .c`th
of April, sod continues through great part isf May. A few hinds,

championship of speed, Beulding never having been beaten.

Wedracadliy bight, at Ipswich, of walking sixty-four miles per diem
tot ten successive days. He reached that place a few minutes.
before twelve o'clock, apparently little fatigued.

Dogiett, the Comedian, was yesterday displayed upon the Thames.
Six young watermen started, as usual, frcm the. Swan, at Lon-
don Bridge, to row to the Swan, at Chelsea. The parties pulled
well, and afforded a very interesting display. Above Vauxhall,
George Fogo took the lead, and reached the Swan, leaving all the •
others a considerable distance behind. He was accordingly hailed
winner of the prize. and received the Coat and Badge. This is the
second honour gained by his family. His grandfather, an honest
and expert Waterman, also Oen the Coat and Badge.
