SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S,Lar 211.
The room and yard were excessively crowded with sporting men
of every class, and from every pan of the kingdom were in attend-
ance, and betting to an enormous amount took place. The horses
are still unhealthy, to which must be attributed the frequent ex-
traordinary alterations in the odds. It is eery doubtful whether
the 'Ling s filly, Maria, will start—she is amiss.

SPARRING AT THE LITTLE THEATRE, CATHE-

iti NiEii RI E T.:- Y Err git Dml.

Tim Theatre was filled a bumper, for the veteran Torn Oliver's
Benefit, and, as usual, there was copious scope fur complaint on the
part of the public, for breach of contract—as all the men named in
the bill were not prodemed,in particular Jem Ward was absent—
sod Tem Cribb was not forthcoming, with his chant of " Will
Watch."—Tbe audience were assured by stage-manager Fogo,
that no blame was attachable to Oliver; he bad been promised the
assistance of these individuals when be announced it in the bills,
bet he could now only regret that they bad not been able to attend.
This was all very welt—but such. disappointments will ever be a
barrier in the way of the public's hearty patronage.
Much of the sparring was of the most ordinary description. The
Old Colonel and his pupil led off ; ncit Doonovaii and Latham.
Young Oliver and Stockman had a fight with the gloves.
Barney Aaron set-to with Arthur Mathieson, of Birmingham.
It was a spirited thing. in which Mathieson bad the hest of it, but'
Aaron was not easily got about.
Sprig of Shilellah and Crayford had a kind of random go, in
which Crayford acted more like a fighting man; but them was nut
much to boast of op either side.
_ _

Tom Oliver sod Tom Bekher had a civil bout.
Jack Scroggins made his appearance. with Barney Aaron's
Rumba Jew. Jack began to boast what he would do with the
young sine, but when they came to pLiy, Jack was by no means so
clever as be had promised, the Russian threw him several times,
and had a full share of the hitting.
Tom Reddie and young Spring set-to, in which Spring again did
tar more with Tom than was expected, and ousted him most eller.-
. hually in all his attempts to throw. lieddie said he was ready to
Right Spring for £5O, or be would fight hint for £5 immediately on
this here stage." Reddie was scouted tiff, and Spring said he was
willing to make the match, Rise could get the money.
Bob Castles set.tn with Reuben Martin, in which Bob displayed
far nsore tact than we expected front Wm. The wind•up was an
interesting set.tu with Dick Curtis and Mho Mashieson; It was
a very equal match, and much applauded.
Jack Fogo sung his song, as he said, as well as he was able,"
and 'quitted himself much to the satisfaction of the people—lbe
Home echoed with applause, and a strong effort was made at au
r near e. •
Turn returned thanks," a thousand thanks," and concluded with
the emphatic sentence—" Goo bless you all, Gentlenatis!"
