SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

BETTING-ROOM, TATTERSALL'S, Dm 7.

There was neither so numerous an attendance, nor so ruldi
betting as on Monday, some of the principal specnlatots being ab.
sent. The odds, of course, did not experimce any :material alters.
tion, most of the favourites and outsiders maintaining their place,
as in blonday's quotation. It may, however, be proper to 01:setee
the rise of the Gustavus colt, who will very probably be a better
favourite. The Oaks was alight!), tou. chA.l upon,- but there is co,
eny probability of the betting on this stakes beeciming very bray,
as Maria, we are informed, will not come out at Newmarket in ail
of the Spring lieetinp; it may, therefore, be prudent not to be t?,
heavy on het, as there will not, perhaps, be any opportumt,
hedging to advantage. At thiclose of the Room the ode, 1;,.„

SPARRING AT THE TENNIS COURT.
Tom Gaynor bad his benefit yesterday at the Tennis Court;
from the unfavourable state of the weather, the attendance of nui.
teurs was not numerous.
The appearance of Gaynor gave ample testimony of the heady
work of Sharpe. His right eye and mouth still remained dreg.
fully swollen and discoloured, and he complained of the soreness of
his body, from the repetition of the stomachers, and the heavy fall
which he received.

Sharpy also 'hewed, without the slightest symptoms of havint
fought an hour and ten minutes. His left hand is still a little puffed,
but in other respects, is "as good as new." The 'Bishop Is new
ready so fight the Clads= sob again for £lOO aside, if the snob's
friends are so inclined:
Gaynor now openly confesses he was not well on Tuesday ; but
this does not operate in his favour, as be should have informed Ns
backers of that circumstance before he went into the ring, and thca
enabled them to forfeit, and save the money they had bet in la
favour. At all events they should have had the option.
Among the sparrets yesterday were Lennox and Mason, Jack :be
Painter owl the Northampton Baker, Oliver and Jem Burns, Ah:
ReM and Jack &mains, Camelia and Fisher, Weartby and
Young Stockman, and as a closer, Tom Belcher and " My Nevy."
All did their best, and gave general satisfaction.

question respecting a reported lottery, it was expressly
stated that no such idea was ever seriously entertained.

vices that he has rendered to the science of astronomy
